Two seconds into the trailer for Netflix’s The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and even without the credits popping up on screen, it’s obvious this is a Wes Anderson production. Every frame – and every line of dialogue – screams Wes Anderson.
Ralph Fiennes and Benedict Cumberbatch lead a cast that includes Dev Patel, Ben Kingsley, and Richard Ayoade. Writer/director Wes Anderson produces along with Steven Rales and Jeremy Dawson.
The short film (just 39 minutes) is set to premiere on Netflix on September 27, 2023.
The Plot: A beloved Roald Dahl short story about a rich man who learns about a guru who can see without using his eyes and then sets out to master the skill in order to cheat at gambling.
