Netflix buys rights to Roald Dahl books (all of ’em) – CNET [CNET]
Netflix was inspired to go the whole hog after signing a deal to produce new versions of some of Dahl’s stories, including a movie version of smash hit musical Matilda and a TV series based on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory from Taika Waititi and Wreck-It Ralph writer Phil Johnston. Netflix hasn’t said how much it paid for the Roald Dahl Story Company, but it’s reported to be the deep-pocketed streaming company’s biggest acquisition yet.
It’s unclear what this deal means for the 19 (!) projects in development via the Roald Dahl Story Company, such as the Willy Wonka prequel currently filming with Timothée Chalamet as the idiosyncratic chocolatier.
