Wes Anderson directed most of “Fantastic Mr. Fox” by e-mail!

I was reading this movie article about the movie “Fantastic Mr. Fox” in the weekend section of my newspaper (review by Chris Lee of the Los Angeles Times) and I was shocked to read about “…Anderson’s unorthodox choice to direct most of “Mr. Fox” via e-mail from his apartment in Paris”. Wow! More respect for Wes Anderson…we all know how doing things by email goes. The director of photography for the movie comments “..Whereas here, you’ll try to get something right. It’ll go back. It’ll be wrong. The feedback is blind, essentially.” The movie is nice, BTW. George Clooney’s voice is perfect for Mr. Fox. Sort of old-fashioned.
