I love Matilda on stage, but I'm afraid of Warchus's lack of film experience. It's a different medium and really needs someone who lives and breathes film. I find with few exceptions that theatre directors/choreographers turned film directors tend to miss that vision that makes film its own unique medium.

I like Kendrick as much as the next person, but I'd like to hear someone else sing in a film for once. It seems like there was a period of time where every movie with Kendrick featured her singing in one way or another. She's also a little too knowing, too sardonic for the role.

I really want Emily Blunt to be Miss Honey now Mary Poppins is done

I love the score from this show, but there are also some real clunkers. Let's hope the cut the boring songs. Sorry Miss Honey...

I think Act I is a lot stronger than Act II, musically. My House & Quiet are right next to each other and are both pretty boring in my opinion. This Little Girl is also nothing special either -- for a show with such clever and wordy lyrics, that one is so... typical. To be fair I saw the show late in the run and had partial view lottery seats, so my experience of seeing the show wasn't the best. There could be stuff I'm missing, but I have listened to that score dozens of times and love most of it.

I'd like to see a multimedia hybrid, personally.
And does Karen Gillan sing? She'd be a good Miss Honey.

Only if Lesli Margherita is Mrs. Wormwood. There is no other.

I can really see Matilda’s escapologist/acrobat Story bring stop motion and then everything else being live action.

I know they'll probably be looking to cast Brits mostly, but a fun Dreamcast:
Trunchbull- Titus Burgess
Miss Honey- Annaleigh Ashford or Laura Bell Bundy
Mr. Wormwood- Seth McFarlene or Jim Carey
Mrs. Wormwood- Kristin Chenoweth or Jane Krakowski
Miss Phelps- Octavia Spencer

^OMG yes! Or James Corden if he has time.
As long as Bertie reprises his Trunchbull, I'm good

Lea Michelle for Trunchbull - finally a role to fit her personality.
