Trivia:

John Williams will be back to do the music score for "The BFG." Spielberg and Williams have not worked together on Spielberg's previous movie "Bridge of Spies". They have not worked together only three times in 42 years.

The BFG (2016) marks the reunion of director Steven Spielberg and screenwriter Melissa Mathison, following their universally celebrated collaboration on E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982).

John Madden was originally set to direct, but decided to focus on The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2015) instead. He remains involved in the production as an Executive Producer.

The film also marks the first Walt Disney Pictures production since Dragonslayer (1981) to be co-produced by another major studio. In the case of Dragonslayer, it was a joint production between Paramount Pictures and Walt Disney Pictures.

This is the second adaptation of a Roald Dahl work to be distributed by Disney, after James and the Giant Peach (1996), released twenty years previously.

This marks as the first screenplay by Melissa Mathison in almost 20 years. Her previous script was Kundun (1997).
