Based on Ronald Dahl's book of the same name, the film follows Mr. Fox (Clooney) and his family who are targeted by wealthy, angry farmers after the fox steals their chickens, ducks and turkeys from right underneath their noses. This is the first adaptation for Anderson, who up until this point has collaborated with a handful of close friends (Owen Wilson, Noah Baumbach, Roman Coppola) on original stories. Originally Anderson was co-directing with Henry Selick, though Selick later left to go work on Coraline and was replaced by Mark Gustafson. Perhaps the coolest little fact about the making of this film was that Anderson took his actors outside the studio in order to record their voices, winding up in places like a forest, an attic, a stable and even underground.

In theaters on November 13th.
