Meryl Streep, Benedict Cumberbatch and Chris and Liam Hemsworth are among the stars joining Jojo Rabbit filmmaker Taika Waititi for a charity reading of Roald Dahl’s classic children’s book James And The Giant Peach.
Ryan Reynolds, Cate Blanchett, Lupita Nyong’o and Cara Delevingne will also join in the reading of the book from their homes.
The story will be recorded from start to finish in 10 instalments, for children and families currently in lockdown across the globe amid the current pandemic.
James And The Giant Peach With Taika And Friends aims to raise money for Partners In Health, a global health non-profit organisation fighting coronavirus in some of the most vulnerable parts of the world.
