Fantastic Mr Fox: Bill Murray

An excerpt from an interview with Bill Murray where he talks about recording Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Q: What is your role in Wes Anderson’s upcoming animated “Fantastic Mr. Fox”?

Murray: I’ll be playing the badger.

Q: What is your badger voice?

Murray: Unfortunately, my badger… I worked really, really hard on a Wisconsin accent, ’cause I thought that would be an appropriate badger voice. And for the first couple scenes I did this Wisconsin badger voice that I thought was so funny. I did the first couple scenes and then Wes goes, “Nah, I don’t think so. I would think it’s kind of a Savile Row badger.” Who here has seen a badger walkin’ down Savile Row? Anybody? (Laughter) Yeah. That’s what I said. But these are these new directors. You know, you just gotta give ‘em their… you know, let ‘em hang themselves. I’ve seen some pictures of it. I think it’s old-fashioned ’cause it’s taking ‘em a very long time to get it done, but they’re very excited.

The Fantastic Mr. Fox is scheduled for November 6, 2009

The actor, regularly known as the world’s sexiest man, is currently in Puerto Rico. He is training for his latest film, where he plays a US soldier who fights the enemy using ancient Chinese mind techniques. He has grown the moustache for the role.

Clooney, 47, had hidden in his hotel on his arrival but popped out of his room to play basketball with friends.

The Ocean’s 11 star is starring in Men Who Stare At Goats, a war film based on British writer Jon Ronson’s satirical novel.

The book details a secret unit established in 1979 by the most gifted minds within the US Army.

Defying all known accepted military practice and the laws of physics, they believed a soldier could adopt the cloak of invisibility, pass cleanly through walls, and kills goats just by staring at them.

They were known as the First Earth Battalion, and it also details some of the stranger national secrets at the heart of US President George W Bush’s War on Terror.

Clooney will play Lyn Cassady, who claims to be a former member of the unit who was reactivated in the wake of September 11, with Ewan McGregor playing a reporter who stumbles upon the story.

Jeff Bridges is also set to play the founder of the programme with Kevin Spacey playing a former soldier now running a prison camp in Iraq.
