WATCH: ‘Matilda’ Musical Film Adaptation Trailer is Here
The much-awaited film adaptation of Matilda the musical released a trailer online.
Adapted from the 1988 Roald Dahl novel, the story is about a precocious little girl who loves learning but who is ignored and oppressed by her ignorant, overbearing parents and by her school’s tyrannical headmistress, Miss Trunchbull.

The film stars Emma Thompson as Miss Trunchbull, Lashana Lynch as Miss Honey, Alisha Weir as Matilda, Stephen Graham as Mr. Wormwood, Andrea Riseborough as Mrs. Wormwood, and Sindhu Vee as Mrs. Phelps.
The stage adaptation is written by Dennis Kelly and Tim Minchin and directed by Matthew Warchus. The upcoming film will also be written by Dennis Kelly, directed by Matthew Warchus, and will feature the original music and lyrics by Tim Minchin.
