Bill Nighy in A Fox’s Tale

Several sources on the internet have mentioned that Bill Nighy will be one of the voices in the upcoming A Fox’s Tale which is set to be released in 2009.

A Fox’s Tale” is an animated feature film about a young fox named Little Jack who lives happily with his family in the forest until the day his father gets trapped and forced to work in a traveling circus. To help his father escape Little Jack calls on the assistance of a disabled boy and the circus owner’s daughter.

Freddie Highmore (”Arthur & the Invisibles”) provides the voice for Little Jack. Phil Davis will voice his father. Both are joined by actors Bill Nighy (”Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End”) who plays the Ringmaster, Miranda Richardson (”Fred Claus”) and Sienna Miller (”Stardust”).

2009 will be packed with Bill Nighy goodness.

Empire has a small article about Wild Target, Bill’s upcoming hitman caper which is currently being shot in London and on the Isle of Man. Empire likes Bill Nighy:

“Empire would pay to see the great Bill Nighy in anything.

For, with his idiosyncratic line readings and perpetual air of bemusement, as if he’s in a joke that nobody else could possibly understand, Nighy brings a freshness and unspeakably cool edge to anything he deigns to be in.”

So true, read their article Wild Target.

Update:
Some on set pictures from Wild Target with a good looking Bill are here and here and here.
