Sorry to barge in Canada, the door was open. I'll just quietly hope they won't try and remake Tales Of The Unexpected. Because they're already perfect.

i have seen just about all his movies and will watch them again on Netflix .

[@volico72]

I don't know how to feel about this, but until I've seen the future, I don't like the idea of one company owning an entire author's catalogue. I'm very much against America holding a monopoly on UK properties (especially ones with international appeal), and I'm also sad that we'll never get anymore unconventional adaptions like Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr Fox.

[@ethanhan4129]

Fair but some Dahl books are just dying for a movie or a remake, and I believe Netflix it’s the best company to do it

[@jacomaniaassuperdriveminion]

That’s not necessarily true, you can still get unconventional adaptions, owning something does not mean the creativity is lost.

[@jacomaniaassuperdriveminion]

Wes Anderson is working with Netflix to make Henry Sugar adaptations.
