Wes Anderson expresses his position against the editing of Roald ...
Quick Glance: Wes Anderson: Roald Dahl's Works Shouldn't Be Edited
  • Director Wes Anderson believes that finished works of art, including Roald Dahl's books, should not be modified or altered, despite recent attempts to remove offensive language.

  • Anderson's latest adaptation of Dahl's work, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, premieres out of competition at the Venice Film Festival and follows his previous adaptation of Fantastic Mr Fox in 2009.

  • During a press conference, Anderson expressed his opinion on the publishers' move to edit offensive language, stating, 'I'm probably the worst person to ask about this because if you ask me if Renoir should be allowed to touch up one of his pictures, I would say no.'

  • Netflix is producing many of Dahl's stories after acquiring the rights to his estate.
