Oh joy. Can Wes Anderson do no wrong? Seemingly not it seems. Granted we have yet to see The Life Aquatic but gosh darn don’t those trailers make it look good? And now we have received word about Mr. Anderson’s next project The Fantastic Mr. Fox, adapted from the works of Roald Dahl.

But wait, there is another twist in the plot here. Anderson’s not going with CGI or Cell animation here. He’s going back to the classy and dignified art of stop-animation. Was he inspired to do so by the stop animation work in The Life Aquatic? The work done by Henry Selick who also directed the brilliant James and the Giant Peach, another work by Roald Dahl! Suddenly we have a game of six degrees of Kevin Bacon.

Regardless, this news has me very excited. While I don’t want my appreciation of Anderson’s former works, Bottle Rocket Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums, telling me I must enjoy The Life Aquatic I am looking forward it and now this news has me very excited. Very excited indeed.

My Bacon number is 4.
