The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar Term was revealed.
The upcoming film will be written, directed and produced by Wes Anderson. Anderson has directed films such as The Grand Budapest Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom and the new film Asteroid City. This film will be an adaptation of the Roald Dahl short story The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More.
It is Anderson’s second adaptation of one of Dahl’s works, the first being 2009’s Fantastic Mr. Fox.
What is the running time of The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar?
This film will only be 37 minutes long. It is a short film starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Ralph Fiennes, Dev Patel, Ben Kingsley, Rupert Friend and Richard Ayoade.
“For years I wanted to do ‘Henry Sugar,'” Anderson said diversity. “They put that story aside for me because I was friends with them. Lindsay passed the torch to Luke, Dahl’s grandson, so to speak. So this was waiting for me. But I really couldn’t understand the approach. I knew what I liked about the story was the writing style, Dahl’s words. I couldn’t find the answer, and then suddenly I found it. It’s not a feature film. It’s about 37 minutes or so. But by the time I was ready, the Dahl family had no rights at all. They had sold the entire deal to Netflix.”
The Wonderful World of Henry Sugar will premiere on Netflix in fall 2023.
