Hot off its win last night at the Academy Awards for Best Short Film, we get a new Trailer for THE WONDERFUL STORY OF HENRY SUGAR AND THREE MORE! Oscar®-winning short, THE WONDERFUL STORY OF HENRY SUGAR is included!
WES ANDERSON ON WINNING HIS FIRST OSCAR®:
“If I could have been there, I (along with Steven Rales) would have said “Thank you” to: the family of Roald Dahl; the team at Netflix; our cast and crew; and also: if i had not met Owen Wilson in a corridor at the University of Texas between classes when I was 18 years old, I would certainly not be receiving this award tonight — but unfortunately Steven and I are in Germany and we start shooting our new movie early tomorrow morning, so I did not actually receive the award or get a chance to say any of that.” -Wes Anderson
WES ANDERSON ON THE ANTHOLOGY:
“It was a special pleasure to (extremely faithfully) adapt four of Roald Dahl’s marvellous short stories. I am delighted to present them now as an ANTHOLOGY — also featuring an original song by Jarvis Cocker: “Roald Dahl’s Rules For Being a Fiction Writer.”- Wes Anderson
