It's the London Film Festival and not Venice, who'll be premiering Wes Anderson's take on Roald Dahl's classic Fantastic Mr. Fox. It kind of makes sense for Fox to showcase the film during the October set fest (now in its 53rd edition) a). since filming actually took place locally at London's Three Mills Studios and employed some local talent. b). the festival coincides with the U.K release on October 23rd (stateside on November 13th) and c.) as I mentioned before, this is not the sort of film that needs a competitive slot or requires huge critical support beforehand, but perhaps just a good launch pad.

London Film Festival Lands Coveted 'Fantastic Mr. Fox'
QUICK LINKS
Reviews
Review: The Kid With a Bike
"Despite the one-dimensionality of its anti-patriarchal theme (appeasing the knee-jerk expectations of European film fest audiences), the Dardennes avoid cheapening the story with ideological smugness, achieving an emotional resonance without easy sentimentality."
Interviews
Review: Wrong
"Encoded in the outlandish humor that pervades the film are bits of commentary on everyday life. The most overt is Dupieux's urging to appreciate the relationships around you, which is manifested in the dog kidnapping, but also in a subplot in which a woman from the pizzeria moves between men without even realizing they have changed. Another cultural critique is found in the rainy office, an instantly recognizable visual metaphor for how dreary a 9 to 5 job can be."
