A film adaptation of the smash West End musical Matilda is in the works at Netflix.
In 2018, Netflix announced that they had partnered with the Roald Dahl estate to produce new projects inspired by his works.
The original musical, inspired by Roald Dahl’s beloved children’s book, revolves around a precocious bookworm who discovers she has telekinetic abilities.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Netflix and Sony Pictures are in negotiations to produce the movie, which will be released in cinemas and on home video in the UK and Netflix internationally.
