Netflix’s The Twits tosses out Roald Dahl’s book. The director explains.
But the movie — directed and co-written by Phil Johnston, a writer on Wreck-it Ralph and Zootopia and co-director of Ralph Breaks the Internet — likely isn’t what any Dahl aficionado was expecting. It’s vastly different from the book in its plot, its cast of characters, its tone, the specifics and atmosphere of the world it takes place in, and even in its attitude to the horrible couple at the center of the story: Dahl’s unforgettable, irredeemable monsters, Mr. and Mrs. Twit.
