True.And there is few books do bad that they deserved Netflix attention.Why they do not keep to some commie/lgbt+52 authors and leave normal one alone ?

Just don't make everyone snark and joke about how ridiculous things are. Yes, we know how smart you are for not believing in talking racoons and caped superheroes,just get on with the goddamn film.

One book of Dahl's that I always felt was overlooked and was perhaps the most grounded in reality with no strange creatures etc was Danny the champion of the world.

Amusingly, Roald Dahl also did the screenplay for the Bond film You Only Live Twice.

He also wrote a book about nuclear war that added the term "broiled" to the dictionary and had radiation zombies devouring the remnants of humanity.

Not everything in existence needs a cinematic universe. Ugh.

Going on from this, most non-MCU cinematic universes have failed to get off the ground. I expect this to be no different, Sturgeon's Law and all.

He also wrote the screenplay for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, adapted from Ian Fleming's original novel.

Which honestly does look like a Bond movie for Children, it even has Gert Frobe (Goldfinger) as the villain.
A car with gadgets, underground lairs, creepy sidekicks.
And you can't tell me that Truly Scrumptious isn't a Bond Girl Name.
