Steven Spielberg will direct an adaptation of Roald Dahl’s “The BFG.”
The story follows a little girl who leads a friendly giant and the Queen of England on a journey to stop the fiercer man-eating giants from gobbling children.
DreamWorks acquired rights in 2010 and Melissa Mathison who last teamed with Spielberg on “E.T.” will pen the script.
Spielberg will begin production in first quarter of 2015 with a planned 2016 release.
