'I don’t want even the artist to modify their work,' the Henry Sugar director said at the Venice film Festival. 'What's done is done.'
Given his status as one of Hollywood’s foremost Dahl adapters, it’s not surprising to hear that Anderson was asked about the recent controversy surrounding the author’s books.
When asked about it at Venice, Anderson expressed his unhappiness about the changes in what were just about the harshest terms imaginable:I understand the motivation for it, but I sort of am in the school where, when the piece of work is done and the audience participates in it, we know it— I sort of think what’s done is done. And certainly, no one besides the author should be modifying the work—Anderson also weighed in, albeit very briefly, on the ongoing strikes affecting the industry. “
An equitable deal has got to be reached for anybody to go forward,” he said in response to a question about the strikes.
