Hollywood double strike has been putting pressure on media companies like Netflix for some time now. First writers walked away leaving incomplete scripts in the midst and then the actors’ union followed in their steps recently. This decision of the two primary sources of creativity led their production pipeline grinds to a complete halt. While some streamers are worried about their declining profit charts, this American company is finding solutions to keep fans entertained. And it looks like they have found the perfect antidote to immune themselves from the strike.

Far Out Magazine recently rolled out a report which revealed that Wes Anderson’s new flick has got a release window. We all know about the masterful pieces that this Oscar-winning director has given to the world all these years. His films often give profound messages to the audience with superbly symmetrical frames and heartwarming stories. This project is no different from all those that came before and has all the ingredients of a perfect watch.

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar narrates one of the most sinister tales by Roald Dahl through a talented star cast. The 37-minute-long adaptation is ready to hit Netflix on October 13th. Marvel star Benedict Cumberbatch has taken the center of the story playing the titular role. Other actors who joined him include Ralph Fiennes, Dev Patel, Richard Ayoade, Sir Ben Kingsley, Asa Jennings, and Rupert Friend.

This news has come hours after the streamer announced the delay of some highly anticipated movies. Thus, came as a sigh of relief for people who were upset by the postponement. Meanwhile, for people who do not know about the details of this anthology drama, we have got it covered for them below.

This Netflix production is the fusion of reality and imagination 

Based on Dahl’s 1977 book of short stories, this movie revolves around Henry Sugar, who steals a book full of life-changing secrets. This book teaches him the techniques to see through objects and predict the future. It also deals with other stories like The Boy Who Talked With Animals, Lucky Break, and A Piece of Cake. 

This mixture of the world of magic and reality will take viewers to extraordinary places while showing them how Dahl became a writer. Considering Anderson and Dahl have previously worked together on Fantastic Mr. Fox in 2009, this movie will not disappoint fans.
