Here comes a new adaptation of the Tony and Olivier award-winning musical, Matilda. The film will be available in December at Netflix and will tell the story of that extraordinary girl who is the owner of an awakened mind with an overflowing imagination and extraordinary powers. The film will have a theatrical release in England on December 2 and will arrive on the platform for Christmas Eve for the rest of the countries (it has not yet been confirmed if it will be on December 25 or on a close date).

The film was directed by the English Matthew Warchus (also behind the original musical) and will feature the music and lyrics of Tim Minchin. The role of Matilda Wormwood fell into the hands of the little alisha weir (Darklands), while the hateful school director Tronchatoro will be the great emma thompson (cruel). The actress who has already dared to various roles in children’s films, such as her participation in the saga of Harry Potter and when she played Nanny McPhee. In the 1996 film, the one in charge of playing the role of this fearsome director was the actress pam ferrisand now his face appears in countless memes.
