Fantastic Mr Fox Images Released

Here are a couple of gorgeous hi-res images from Wes Anderson's incoming Fantastic Mr Fox adaptation.

The first in the set (haha, you see, because foxes live in... never mind) shows us a pyjama-clad Mr Fox and his family with a lantern in a tunnel. So presumably that's from the part where they're escaping from the farmers in their bulldozer. Boggis, Bunce and Bean, one fat, one short, one lean, etc.

The other shows Fox in front of a portrait of martial-looking badgers, which we guess is in the home of Mr Badger himself.

Fox is voiced by George Clooney, his wife by Meryl Streep, and Badger by Bill Murray.

Anderson's take on Roald Dahl's 1970 novel hit some tough times when original collaborator Henry Selick's production company Revolution (they did the stop-motion fish in Anderson's The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou) folded in 2006, and Selick himself moved on to Coraline.

The project was rescued by - who else? - Fox, and is due in UK cinemas October 23rd.
