Our Favourite Trivia:
In September 2021, Netflix acquired the Roald Dahl Story Company for $686 million. The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar project was confirmed on January 7, 2022, the day after it was reported that Wes Anderson was set to write and direct the film adaptation, with Netflix distributing.
Development on the project began in January 2022, with most of the cast signed on. Principal photography took place in London that month. The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar was originally reported to be a feature film until Anderson clarified in June 2023 that it would be one of a collection of short films.
The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar premiered at the 80th Venice International Film Festival on September 1, 2023, and received a limited theatrical release on September 20, 2023, followed by being released on Netflix on September 27, 2023. The other three Anderson shorts based on Dahl stories premiered on Netflix on succeeding days: The Swan on September 28, The Rat Catcher on September 29, and Poison on September 30. On March 15, 2024, the film was released in a full length film anthology along with the other three shorts titled The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Three More.
The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film at the 96th Academy Awards.
Poison has been adapted in English language twice before, first in Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1958), season 4 episode 1, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and again in a Dahl centric show called Tales of the Unexplained (1980), season 2 episode 5. There was also a German adaptation in the show Uit de wereld van Roald Dahl (1975), season 1 episode 2, under the title Vergif.
The Rat Catcher made us think of Ciggy Butt Brain. Check it out here-
