Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical | Full-length movie trailer

The official full-length trailer has been released for the upcoming movie adaptation of Matilda the Musical, which will be available in cinemas on 25 November 2022 in the UK and Ireland (with a 25 December Netflix release everywhere else in the world).

Based on the popular stage musical (which is, itself, based on Roald Dahl's 1988 children's novel), Matilda the Musical features a Tony-nominated original score by Tim Minchin.

Denis Kelly, who penned the Tony-winning book, has taken on the screenplay here. Matthew Warchus, who directed the stage production in the West End and Broadway, helms the film.

Emma Thompson takes on the role of Miss Trunchbull, alongside Lashana Lynch, who plays Miss Honey, as well as Alisha Weir in the title role. Stephen Graham plays Mr Wormwood, Andrea Riseborough plays Mrs Wormwood, and Sindhu Vee plays Mrs Phelps.

The film introduces the performances of Charlie Hodson-Prior (as Bruce Bogtrotter), Meesha Garbett (as Hortensia), Rei Yamauchi Fulker (as Lavender), Winter Jarrett Glasspool (as Amanda Thripp), Andrei Shen (as Eric), and Ashton Robertson (as Nigel).

Someones going to make a parody trailer of this making it look like a horror movie

[stevekershaw]

Roald Dahl's character idea of Matilda could have been inspired by Anne Shirley Cuthbert from Anne With An E, being so full of knowledge and into classical books like Jane Eyre.

Looks amazing! I'm glad they've kept most of the feel of the musical while getting some bits from the book that I thiiink had to be glossed over (though it's been a while since I got to see the stage show).

Is this a knock off of the real movie Matilda

[Meagainx]

This movie was really bad. Like as bad as the original Willow. Just awful. The acting was good. The songs and scripts were just bad

[ЭльвираРомашич]

Woah!
Never again will she get the best of me!
Never again will she take away my freedom.
And we won't forget the day we fought
For the right to be a little bit naughty!
Never again will The Chokey door slam!
Never again will I be bullied, and
Never again will I doubt it when
My mummy says I'm a miracle!
Never again!

Never again will we live behind bars!
Never again now that we know...

[Chorus:]
We are revolting children...
Living in revolting times...
We sing revolting songs
Using revolting rhymes.
We'll be revolting children,
'Til our revolting's done,
And we'll have the Trunchbull vaulting.
We're revolting!

[Repeat Chorus]

We will become a screaming horde!
Take out your hockey stick, and use it as a sword!
Never again will we be ignored!
We'll find out where the chalk is stored,
And draw rude pictures on the board!
It's not insulting; we're revolting!

We can S-P-L how we like!
If enough of us are wrong,
Wrong is right!
Every word N-O-R-T-Y...
'Cause we're a little bit naughty!
You say we oughta 'stay inside the line'...
If we disobey at the same time,
There is nothing that the Trunchbull can do!
She can take her hammer and S-H-U.
You didn't think you could push us too far,
But there's no going back now, we...

R-E-V-O-L-T-I-N
(Come on!)
We're S-I-N-G
U-S-I-N-G...
(Yeah...)
We'll be R-E-V-O-L-T-I-N-G.
(Oh...)
It is 2-L-8-4-U.
E-R-E-volting!

[Repeat Chorus]

Woah!
