It has been in the pipeline for ages, but the animated big screen version of Fantastic Fox looks to be getting closer.

George Clooney will play Roald Dahl's wily hero in the stop motion adaptation, directed by Wes Anderson, who helmed cult films such as Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums.

Among the other voices are Bill Murray and Meryl Streep.

The film is due out later this year.
