Wes Anderson’s a busy man. His next film, “Asteroid City,” will be released next summer, with a potential splashy premiere at Cannes. However, he’s already set his sights in releasing another film in 2023.
I can exclusively report that Anderson’s adaptation of Roald Dahl’s ‘The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar,’ starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Kingsley, Dev Patel, will be released via Netflix next fall.
This one won’t be done in stop motion animation, unlike Anderson’s other Dahl adaptation, 2009’s “The Fantastic Mr. Fox.” It’ll be live-action. Production for this one in fact ended this past March in London.
‘Henry Sugar’ deals with a variety of stories, but the main one follows Henry Sugar, who is able to see through objects and predict the future with the help of a book he stole.
If everything goes according to planned, then Anderson will have two films released next year. I ranked Anderson’s films 10.27.21.
