It amazes me the people who either don’t know there is already a musical based on the classic Roald Dahl novel and that this movie is based on that musical, or who think this is a remake of the 1996 Danny Devito film. The creator of the musical said that where as people who don’t know about the book are saying, “This is the musical based on that movie”, now with this movie people to say, “This is the movie based on that musical”. The musical is solely based on the book. The movie had no influence on the musical, as far as I know. So no, this is not a remake, this is just simply another adaptation, as both the movie and stage musical are both adaptations.
I love the book as a tot, the movie as a child, the musical as a teen and now I get to love the movie adaptation of the musicals as an adult. Thank you!
I’m so so so happy they’re finally coming out with one with, well, music! The musical production is what I’ve been waiting for. I’ve watched the musical on yt before, but now that it’s gonna be a movie, I’m so happy!
We really enjoyed the musical production in London and now this version at the cinema. Every member of the cast were fantastic and I will definitely watch it again when it comes to Netflix.
As a British person I would like to say that the school is very accurate, students do randomly burst into song and also, this and the 1996 movie do show your average female head teacher.
i’m actually part of a youth theatre production of matilda, and i’m hoping to play miss honey, basing my part solely on this and the 1996 movie edition, she’s like my spirit teacher🤍
I can't wait to see this. I loved the movie and I love listening to the soundtrack to the musical. When I saw they were making this into a movie I didn't want to believe it. I am so excited!
It wasn't given a makeover this is a movie of the Broadway show which came out in 2013 I believe somewhere around that time if not then its completely different from the other movie even though they are based off the same book
I've seen this musical played in Korea about few weeks ago, I loved the songs and I'm quite happy to see netflix making a musical movie for matilda!! I don't have enough money to watch matilda again due to other musicals I have to see, so I'm glad I can watch the movie version again and again^^(i know that seeing it on stage and tv would be quite different but I'm excited :)))
Its not a musical adaptation its a movie of the broadway show its completely different from the other Matilda movie although they're based off the same book
Oh My God! I love her... She was amazing in the "Woman King". Great actress, very underrated. Hope she gets a appreciation nod from the academy for her role as one of Agojie.
Okay I'm excited for it now that I know it's taking elements from the musical. Cause I love the 1996 movie but that's it there's already a great adaptation of the book. And I'm also a theatre person. So when I Saw posts about this on Facebook I wasn't looking forward to it cause I kinda wanted a reboot to take elements from the book and musical. So now that I came across this and see that's technically what they're doing I am looking forward to it
Más bellas películas que me hacen recordar mi infancia, me encantó mucho. Espero atenta al estreno. 😍🥰🥰🥰 Haré de cuenta como si fuera la hija de la Matilda película antigua. MATILDA VERSIÓN II.
They even putted Miss Trunchbull grabbing the girl and throwing her in the playground fence just like in the book! *btw the scene is in **1:28** plus the original book page is 108 or at the back of the original book.*
