Variety brings some unexpected casting news by announcing that none other than Robert Redford will be providing some voice-work on the upcoming "Charlotte’s Web" adaptation. (He’ll be playing a horse named Ike!) Mr. Redford joins a cast already swollen with solid performers; Julia Roberts, John Cleese, Oprah Winfrey, Thomas Haden Church and Steve Buscemi (among others) are already on board. Based on the beloved E.B. White story, "Charlotte’s Web" is currently being directed by Gary Winick ("Tadpole," "13 Going on 30"), from an adapted screenplay by Karey Kirkpatrick ("Chicken Run," "The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy") and Susannah Grant ("28 Days," "Erin Brockovich"). Moviegoers can see the new "Web" spun in June of ’06.
