COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT “I knew Roald Dahl since before we made ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox.’ I met Lindsay Dahl, his widow, when we were shooting ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’ like 20 years ago. For years I wanted to do ‘Henry Sugar.’ They set this story aside for me because I was friends with them. Lindsay kind of handed the torch to Luke, Dahl’s grandson. So I had this waiting for me. But I really couldn’t figure out the approach.
Who’s Involved With Wes Anderson’s The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar? The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar is not the first story by Dahl that Anderson adapts into a film. In 2009, Anderson brought Fantastic Mr. Fox to theaters as a wildly beloved animated feature still remembered as one of the best movies in his career. That’s enough for us to be excited about The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.
