The Big Friendly Giant. This July, Roald Dahl’s Storytelling Comes to the Big Screen With a Little Help From Disney and Steven Spielberg.
Disney and Steven Spielberg have long been associated with quality family entertainment. This July, the two have teamed up to deliver “The BFG,” a live action 3-D film based on the classic short story by legendary storyteller Roald Dahl.
Dahl's works have previously been adopted into films such as “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” “Fantastic Mr. Fox,” and “The Witches.” The film also reunites Steven Spielberg with late screenwriter Melissa Mathison, with whom he collaborated on the 1982 blockbuster “E.T. the Extra Terrestrial.”

A girl named Sophie encounters the Big Friendly Giant who, despite his intimidating appearance, turns out to be a kindhearted soul who is considered an outcast by the other giants because unlike his peers refuses to eat boys and girls.

I'll definitely end up having to check this out at some point. I have fond memories of reading the book as a child, although much of the plot has unfortunately escaped me at this point.
