What appallingly written copy. And it looks like the source of this comes from a teenage fan on Facebook who found a casting notice for kids that requests you apply to matildafilmcasting@gmail.com. Surely a legit casting agency wouldn’t use a gmail account. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong on your source Theatre Fan |

I'm looking forward to this release, everything seems legitimate and they've been talking about doing it for a while now. I just hope they cut the acrobat subplot for the film and favour presenting Miss Honey's story like it is in the book and film, it worked much better in my opinion. I'm predicting we may get an Easter/Summer 2021 release it seems like the type of film that would work really well on the school holidays.

Working Title is the producer but hopefully it'll turn out more like Les Mis than Cats.
I am assuming Columbia Pictures/Sony will be involved given they produced and distributed the 1996 Matilda film.

This will be a film version of the musical, which was based on Roald Dahl's book. The 1998 film of Les Mis was also distributed by Columbia Pictures, but they had no involvement in the 2012 musical version. |

The 1998 film of Les Mis was also distributed by Columbia Pictures, but they had no involvement in the 2012 musical version. Les Miserables the book is in the public domain so it wouldn't be difficult to have a straight film adaptation done by a different film company whereas in the case of Matilda, the film rights to the book are with Sony and so they would have the option to be involved in any remake or adaptation to either produce the film or distribute it. It's the same with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Warner Bros back in the 70s bought Wolper Productions who made Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and so the rights to Charlie went to them and that's why they ended up making the 2005 film and also why they are the producer of the stage musical. |

Good casting if they sign them up, but with this being a known and much loved story anyway, subscribers should want to see this regardless of who is cast. So I hope they manage to hire some west end talent for it, and it’ll be nice to have Matilda set back in the UK like the book.

If the Hollywood Reporter is correct, the UK will be the only market gets a full cinema and home entertainment release. It’s very similar to how films like Shaft and Isn’t it Romantic were shown in cinemas in the US but on Netflix elsewhere |

Glad Netflix are behind this, it will get it into a lot of homes! I don't have any mates or family who don't have it!
Nice to see them expanding into more musicals; they are also producing 'The Prom' with quite a cast, and I recently finished a series called 'Soundtrack'. Concept is quite hard to explain, instead of breaking into song they break out miming along to a song you'll know, but after the third episode I was hooked! Loved it! Definitely worth checking out!

Ooh that sounds interesting. What sort of music do they use, pop/rock? |

I'm so onboard with the Ralph Fienne's as Trunchbull train, I am not so sold on Emma Stone as Miss Honey.

Ooh that sounds interesting. What sort of music do they use, pop/rock? All sorts. At the start it is very pop; Sia etc. But the music changes depending on the character. Theres an episode where we follow Gigi, and that had some jazz in. Theres Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston, a little rock. There really is a great mix! Definitely worth a watch. |

I'm the opposite - I think Emma Stone is perfect for Miss Honey but am not sold on Fiennes (he is a great actor but I don't see him as Trunchbull). But really I don't think the film is necessary at all and will probably just stick to the 90s version, which was perfect. It doesn't need a screen copy of the musical version, I enjoyed it but didn't really think the songs added much. |
