Prior to fully acquiring the Dahl books Netflix had made deals to develop shows based on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the Oompa Loompa characters, plus a live-action version of Matilda based on the Broadway musical, in addition to many others.

If we're getting technical this isn't the first Dahl-based project that Netflix has been working on, but it is the first that they'll be getting in front of cameras since the deal was made. Ralph Fiennes previously starred in Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel back in 2014. The film will also be the first collaboration between the filmmaker and Cumberbatch, Patel, and Kingsley. Seven superb stories, full of Roald Dahls. The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More will mark Anderson's eleventh feature film as a director and his second Dahl adaptation. To identify: Used a standard single statement and published with a dust jacket priced at 3.50. A giant turtle and a very special boy who can talk to animals, a cunning hitchhiker and the curious driver who picks him up, and a very lucky plowman who finds. Roald Dahl turns his pen to anything, twisting everyday life into powerful, and sometimes terrifying fantasies. Cumberbatch will not only star as Henry Sugar in the film though but will also reportedly appear as 'a link to the other stories' by taking on 'multiple roles' in the movie. According to the trade, Anderson has penned the script and will make it his next directorial effort with production set to start later this month in the UK.
