About Matilda
Danny DeVito directed the 1996 Matilda with Mara Wilson as the telekinetic schoolgirl facing Miss Trunchbull.
The 2022 film adapts the stage musical with Alisha Weir in the lead role and Emma Thompson as Trunchbull.
Good to know
The two films are separate adaptations of the same novel, so either works on its own.
DeVito has mused about a sequel, but nothing has been announced.
