    This morning, streaming powerhouse Netflix released some information about their planned expanded universe based on the works of Roald Dahl. Chief among the big announcements included confirmation that Taika Waititi will be adapting Dahl’s much beloved “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” with “Zootopia” writer Phil Johnston handling the script.

    Back in 2018, Netflix struck a deal with The Roald Dahl Story Company for rights to 16 of Dahl’s works.

    Projects in the works include an event series from the awe-inspiring vision of Taika Waititi based on the world of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and another wholly original take on the Oompa-Loompas.

    A live action feature film adaptation of the multi-award-winning stage show “Matilda,” directed by Matthew Warchus — and starring Emma Thompson, Lashana Lynch, and introducing Alisha Weir as Matilda — will be released in 2022.

    Excited to announce that the Roald Dahl Story Company (RDSC) and Netflix are joining forces to bring some of the world's most loved stories to current and future fans in creative new ways.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
