Revolting Children Star in Newest Trailer for Matilda

While a lot of people love Matilda from the 90s, Netflix is set to reboot the property by adapting the musical play with music from Tim Minchin. The film is set to come out in Christmas, and we have a new trailer to hype up these ‘Revolting Children.’

Watch this:

Besides music from Minchin, the movie has also brought in Tony award-winning director Matthew Warchus to helm the movie. I have to say, a lot of the musical numbers look huge and fantastic, and Emma Thompson is absolutely unrecognizable as Ms. Trunchbull.

Matilda looks to be part of Netflix’s deal to adapt several of Roald Dahl’s classic works, so we should watch out for newer versions of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or James and the Giant Peach.

Here’s the official description for the film:

Matilda Wormwood (Alisha Weir) is a little girl with big curiosity, a sharp mind and a vivid imagination – and the worst parents in the world. While her parents (Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough) content themselves with trashy TV and dodgy money-making schemes, she loves to lose herself in the pages of her beloved books. Where they are loud, selfish and unkind she is a quiet observer, thinking up small and cheeky acts of rebellion and revenge. On meeting her inspirational teacher, Miss Honey (Lashana Lynch), Matilda is encouraged and begins conjuring her own fantastical tales. Excited to attend Crunchem Hall, Matilda is surprised to find the school is an ominous and oppressive place led by the huge and villainous Miss Trunchbull (Emma Thompson). As well as kind Miss Honey, the bright lights among the meanness are story-loving librarian, Mrs. Phelps (Sindhu Vee), and Matilda’s newfound school friends. Filled with an overwhelming sense of justice, Matilda dares to take a stand for what is right and teach Trunchbull a lesson she won’t forget.

Matilda comes to Netflix on Christmas Day, Dec. 25.
