No real surprise here. Wes Anderson has cast Bill Murray for his fifth movie in a row, as the actor will lend his voice to the stop-motion animated movie THE FANTASTIC MR. FOX. Also on board is Jason Schwartzman, who himself is no stranger to Anderson as he’s just starred in THE DARJEELING LIMITED and also the Anderson short HOTEL CHEVALIER with Natalie Portman.

The voice work on the movie is about to begin, with George Clooney as we told you in February voicing Mr. Fox and Cate Blanchett as Mrs. Fox!

Don’t expect the film to be in theatres anytime soon though. This animation, Anderson has warned us will likely take a couple of years to complete so a 2010 release date sounds likely on this one.

Oh, and I just thought I would remind you that you can download Anderson’s HOTEL CHEVALIER right now here with ITUNES.
