The BFGowes a debt of gratitude to its actors D.O.G.
I learned a lot about the BFG from my dog, actually.
Hes just woken up from his bed.

Whats he talking about?
Hes a little Jack Russell Terrier, but he is very expressive.
He subsists on boat-sized snozzcumbers, which are just revolting enough to make cannibalism seem not-so-bad.
The big ears get a workout whenever the character is alarmed by his even larger giant brethren.
Particularly of course when the big Fleshlumpeater comes banging at the door, Rylance says.
My ears would swivel like a dogs ears and hear it.
To be honest with you, I didnt like it, Rylance said.
It turned out to be simply one apparatus too many.
Nothing else about me looked at all like anyone, other than some kind of spaceman.
So, it wasnt really necessary.
Instead, Rylance studied Apache, and would let Spielberg know when he imagined the ears in action.
Keep an eye or an ear out forThe BFGon July 6.
