The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar | Official Trailer | Netflix

From Wes Anderson comes an adaptation of Roald Dahl's beloved story about a rich man who sets out to master an extraordinary skill to cheat at gambling.

Benedict perfectly fits into Wes' aesthetic. Surprised he hasn't been in more of his movies. AND two Wes Anderson projects in one year?!

[maxvanzile]

I have always loved Henry Sugar's motto from his life as a lazy rich man: "It is better to incur a mild rebuke than perform an onerous task." I hope it makes it into this movie!

[bertilhatt]

People mock Wes Anderson for making heavily stylised trailers to the point of being a trope, and Wes Anderson responds by digging into the idea with passion.

I LOVED this story when I was a kid.
Dahl, Anderson and Cumberbatch - what a team!!!

[nabeelmirza]

Finally, we get to see Benedict in a Wes Anderson film. Can't wait

[Knaves]

I never thought I'd see an adaptation of my favorite Dahl story, because it was so lesser known. So exciting!

[pabloalex]

Man, Wes Anderson and Roald Dahl is such a perfect combo! Bring it on!

[brownholecharles]

One of my favorite books as a child! I used to sit in a dark room and stair at the lit candle for hours, convinced I was on the verge of a Henry Sugar-esque psychic breakthrough

[drnaldo]

Oh my heart's delight. One of my absolute favourite stories from Road Dahl (he never had any misses by the way)

[davidottley]

This is without a doubt my favorite Roald Dahl story!!! I do believe Wes Anderson will do it justice.

[CNsays]

Wes Anderson’s work is always phenomenal. I am quite grateful to be alive and enjoy his work in real-time. I hope he keeps going for many years to come.

[EdgarTheOgre]

I watched it today. The only bad thing about it is that it's only 38 minutes.

Benedict and Ralph have great chemistry together.

Richard ayoade is perfect for a Wes Anderson film.

[Demasx]

This Roald Dahl story had a profound effect on my taste in super-power fiction growing up.... most things wanted to explore combat efficacy, but Dahl went through the origins, implications, and practicalities. I heard a project was in the works, I had no idea it was Wes Anderson!

[Pablorcct]

Benedict is the perfect actor, anything with him is quality and enjoy

[SheDrawsSometimes]

Everyone’s talking about Benedict- however- Richard Ayoade fits into Wes’ aesthetic BEAUTIFULLY!! He’s quite a quirky character so I think he was born to be in one of his movies!!! ♥️

[air]

I know most are excited about Benedict as am I to be honest. But I did not except to see Richard Ayoade. If you know his humor and mannerisms then you know he is also a great fit for a Wes Anderson film. Very excited to see this film!

[jefferyhanderson]

A Wes Anderson film based on a novel by Roald Dahl starring Benedict Cumberbatch? How can one miss this?

[jeffersonnascimento]

If it has Benedict it has quality, and finally Dev showed up in a new production..

[DarksLightFury]

Benedict lowkey killing with the historical movies. first imitation game and now this, props to him, he fits the aesthetic really well
