What a cool concept.

If you are a huge fan of legendary author Roald Dahl, then you’re in for a treat, because Oscar Winning New Zealand director Taika Waititi is leading a reading of the classic Roald Dahl novel James and the Giant Peach, with a little help from his Hollywood friends to raise money for charity.
 

We've teamed up with @taikawaititi to present James and the Giant Peach, with Taika and Friends!

Taika will be reading the whole book to raise money for @PIH - and we'll match all donations made.

The novel is set to be read in 10 episodes and the first two have already been released on YouTube – with Chris and Liam Hemsworth taking on the roles of Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker in the first episode.

 AMAZING.

 

And then... Meryl Streep and Benedict Cumberbatch took on the same characters in episode 2.
 

Other episodes will feature Cynthia Erivo, Josh Gad, Mindy Kaling, Gordon Ramsay, Olivia Wilde and many more!!

Readings drop on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

WE CANNOT WAIT!! .
