Oh, apparently Netflix did this deal in 2018? Although it's been in the news recently, it's referenced in this article: https://time.com/5937507/roald-dahl-anti-semitism/

It's two deals - the 2018 one was a licensing deal and this one is to buy the company; from what I've read, this one builds on the earlier one.

From a few things that I've read about Dahl it's been suggested that his personality drastically changed after his head injuries.

"much younger"

As it happens, I'm just a few years older than you. And I agree it holds up - it doesn't need a remake, but I'm resigned to the fact that it will happen.

Who has the biggest age gap with Retinend in this joint?

Disney made a film of the BFG in 2016, which seems to have done well for itself.


The 1989 Cosgrove Hall version still shits on this from on height.
