Dir will film The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar for with #BenedictCumberbatch as Sugar.Shoots in London v soon. #WesAnderson directs another tale of the unexpected following his 2009 animated adaptation of Dahl’s Fantastic.

Wes Anderson’s project first came to light via Baz Bamigboye, who worked for the DailyMail at the time: As you may know, Netflix is planning numerous TV and movie adaptations in the world of Roald Dahl, including adaptations of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Twits. The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar is the first major exclusive Dahl feature film at Netflix following the streamer’s acquisition of the Ronald Dahl Story Company in the fall of 2021, gaining the rights to adapt the author’s entire catalog. Yeoman, will serve as the cinematographer on the project, while Kasia Walicka-Maimone is listed as the costume designer. And it was all done with style.Frequent collaborator with Anderson, Robert D. In this case, we witnessed The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar told wonderfully by the boys through their singing, acting ,movement and their paying attention collectively to the detail. One last point : when one has great expectations of Elstree boys, and one has played one’s part in giving the lads a decent platform on which to work hard at being impressive, they never let you down. We must deal in style. The boys had to work hard and one could sense they realised their reward was not a tangible one but the satisfaction of doing something rather special together. It is the detail that turns a pleasing, cute school play into an impressive and stylish one. All boys were on stage all of the time of course, some boys had more lines and spotlight than others but by the chorus having to react the whole time being the audience, it was vital that they paid attention to the tiny details throughout. By making them all orphans telling the story of their hero, this all-inclusive production became a play-within-a-play-within-a play-within-a-play. Which leaves the most important ingredients : the boys. I am surprised that the post 1965 songs of Lennon and McCartney have not been married with Roald Dahl before. I chose the seven Beatle’s songs to help punctuate the script with a melodic, hippyish theme. This was my overriding wish that all boys had the chance to shine and show their parents, the audience as a whole, and each other, what they’ve “got”. The energetic, imaginative and fun choreography by Sian Bond ensured that all boys were never far away from a spotlight of their own. It was also vital to me that all boys feature prominently and regularly throughout the show. Roald Dahl lends himself perfectly for prep school productions because of the extreme characterisation and the moral message that bad and evil must not conquer. It was my intention from the start to go for something a little less mainstream yet still a classic story.
