George Clooney will be lending the mellifluous tones of the sexiest vocal chords alive to the lead character in Wes Anderson’s stop motion version of Roald Dahl’s The Fantastic Mr. Fox.

I really liked Robert DeNiro’s second directorial effort, The Good Shepherd*, a movie that was smart, classy and old-fashioned. So from now on I am going to try and keep that movie in mind every time there’s new announcements of DeNiro being cast in yet another loud, stupid comedy.
