'The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar' Image: Ben Kingsley Takes Center Stage
The Big Picture The adaptation of books for on screen consumption has been an entertainment industry practice since way back when. With usually an already established fan base, and a good source material, filmmakers weave their creative genius into re-imagining already familiar storylines to attract new audiences while keeping the old guard. The latest to join the long line of book adaptations is Wes Anderson’s adaptation of Roald Dahl’s short story The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.
Filming began on this project just one week after it was announced in January 2022. The adaptation of The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar will be Cumberbatch’s first film working with director Anderson. Having acquired the Roald Dahl Story Company for $686 million, Netflix will have the film streaming on its platform. The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar will be the second of Dahl’s works to make it to the streaming service following the 2022 release of Matilda the Musical.
