The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar Release Date
As per our sources and as per a Tweet made by one of the noted celebrities, the production of the Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar is expected to start shortly within the coming months. We are yet not sure of the exact date or month but given the fact that Anderson has already been roped in and some noted actors are also finalized, we can say that the said date is not far and is going to fall into place in the coming months.
If the production process begins by the summer of 2022 and is not hindered by the present pandemic conditions, we are really hoping to see the release of the movie on Netflix sometime in 2023, but given the present conditions post COVID-19 and the rise of new variants that seems difficult to happen soon.
But as of now, we expect that the release will be done by the spring or fall of 2023.
The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar Plot
What is known is that the movie is based on the novel by Dahl, which is having seven individual stories of the protagonist Henry Sugar. It is most likely that the seven stories will be coalesced by Anderson into one single movie with all the best parts included from all seven and also using his own creative intelligence and need of the production and viewership.
The movie like the book is likely to revolve around the character of Henry Sugar who is blind by birth but is able to see everything despite having no eyes, he learns and polished this superpower by rigorous training and will and is finally able to master the same. It will be very exciting to see how Henry uses these powers of his, that is for the good or for the bad. As in the book, Henry cheats in the game of cards and does things to amuse himself and confuse people, however, the creativity and magic that Anderson brings with his touch and the changes that will follow in the movie adaptation, that is whether the changes will be substantial or largely based as is portrayed in the books, is to be seen once the movie releases on Netflix.
It is also relevant to mention here that the character of Henry is believed to be based on the real-life Pakistani magician ‘Kuda Bux’, who despite having no eyes claimed to see it all and also reclaimed fame around the world.
So, Anderson has a large base of information and instances to use his creative mind and bring the magic of the superpowers of Henry to Life.
