Matilda, Matthew Warchus’s film version of the hit West End musical based on the Roald Dahl children’s story, is to open this year’s London film festival.
The 66th BFI London film festival is 5-16 October 2022.
“What a delight to be opening this tremendous film festival with singing, dancing, green hair and chocolate cake,” said Warchus of the LFF announcement.
The film version also features Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough as Matilda’s parents; Kelly has written the screenplay.
