A Peek at George Clooney Voicing 'Fantastic Mr. Fox'
Filed under: Action, Animation, Comedy, Fox Searchlight, Family Films, George Clooney, Trailers and Clips
Yahoo! has posted an incredibly cool video of George Clooney acting out his role as Mr. Fox in the freakin' adorable Fantastic Mr. Fox. The video shows cool side-by-side comparisons of Clooney acting out different scenes on a farm with costar Wallace Wolodarsky, who voices loopy sidekick Kylie, as well as just running around pretending to be Mr. Fox, down to rolling around on the ground and doing his super cool whistle. This behind-the-scenes peek at Mr. Fox also offers mini-interviews with director Wes Anderson, producer Allison Abbate, and Bill Murray (Badger) about working with Clooney on the film. The funniest part shows an argument between Mr. Fox and Badger, which involves growling and swiping, split-screened against the actors themselves doing the voices in an office.
As Abbate notes, "There couldn't be a more perfect Mr. Fox, because he has the Cary Grant suave, debonair sparkle where he can talk his way out of any situation, which is so our Mr. Fox character. He's just got a great voice."
Clooney's got a rather full docket this season, with The Men Who Stare at Goats coming out this week, Fantastic Mr. Fox coming out at the end of November, and Up in the Air out on Christmas day.

I can't wait to see Fantastic Mr. Fox! I adore Wes Anderson and the quirky worlds he has created over the years.
George is pretty cool too. I saw the trailer for Up in the Air recently and some of the shots Reitman pulled off are beautiful. I'll be seeing that for sure too.

George Clooney, Big Deal! He was good in that Hospital series ER and Batman but other than that I just don't see it. He is too monotone and uncolorful. Just goes to show you that if you promote someone enough on good looks (I'll give him that) people will buy it.
