Danny DeVito and Mara Wilson are planning a Matilda reunion – and it was already supposed to happen.
“Mara and I were planning to perform Matilda live with the New Jersey Philharmonic Orchestra just before the strike hit,” DeVito told The Messenger, referring to theSAG-AFTRA strike. “We had it all set, but, after the strike hit, we couldn’t proceed because it would be seen as a promotion for a movie. However, we’re still planning to do that. We’re going to watch the movie with David Newman’s score and try to do it sometime soon, as it seems the strike may be coming to an end – I hope!”
Matilda, directed by DeVito and based on the Roald Dahl novel of the same name, hit theaters in 1996 and became an instant cult classic (and for some of us, one of the most important films to ever grace our childhoods).
The Matilda reunion is still on hold as the SAG-AFTRA strike continues. For more, check out our list of thebest Netflix moviesto stream right now.
