Features: Edward Bloom is an old man who loves to boast and often exaggerates his experiences to others. Although the neighbors are deeply impressed by Bloom, his son Will is not convinced. It wasn't until Bloom passed away that Will realized he knew so little about his father. So, he possible scenarios of his father's real life based on the stories his father told. Big Fish is adapted from the best-selling novel by Daniel Wallace. There was once a rumor that Steven Spielberg was interested in directing the film, but the final director was chosen to be Tim Burton, known for Edward Scissorhands and Planet of the Apes. The fantasy theme of Big Fish is perfect for the imaginative Tim Burton, and the film's production design and overall art style reflect the ingenuity of this visionary director. The two actors who portray young and old Bloom, Ewan McGregor and Albert Finney, are two generations of screen idols in the UK, and their collaboration is highly anticipated.
