Spielberg takes on daunting challenge to bring 'The BFG' to life

Here I was thinking this was another Doom movie as BFG stands for something else in this movie

What does "BFG" mean?

Big Friendly Giant

It is a great book, great story. I'm looking forward to seeing the movie.

Wondering how many crescendos this movie is going to have....about 35?

Right, Cleo, but you have to read all the way to paragraph 4 to get the answer.

@nandaka. Are we meant to read the articles? Everything should be in the headline ; )

I think most British people know what the BFG is... some of us read Dhal's books at school, and some as adults. Part of growing up really.

He wrote vegetarian curry recipe books too, so I've heard.

Movie bombed

I'm embarrassed. BFG was in the 4th paragraph as Nandaka said. I'll be more careful.

I have an idea! From now on, all info should be included in the headline. That way we wont have to read the article ;-)

... and just the comments for general amusement.

I liked his books and the TV -series, and yeah he also created Gremlins.
