Miss Trunchbull, the stomping, hammer-throwing villain from “Matilda,” is reportedly getting her own origin story movie, “The Trunch,” but don’t get too excited.

Roald Dahl’s fearsome headmistress was brought to life in an unforgettable way by Pam Ferris in 1996’s Matilda, making her film debut by throwing a young girl with pigtails over the school fence.

Emma Thompson took on the role in the Netflix adaptation of the Broadway musical, sending a new cast of fresh-faced kids into the choke.

However, aside from her familial connection to Miss Honey, her stocky athleticism, and her superstitions about black cats and ghosts, we actually know very little about her. If you were looking forward to her new movie, we have bad news for you.

“The Trunch” is a fake film

There will be no “The Trunch” and no film about “Miss Trunchbull” or another “Matilda” film is planned.

You’ve fallen for a fake YODA BBY ABY poster claiming The Trunch is coming to Prime Video in November 2024 – this is absolutely not true.

This is the latest in a long line of fake projects that are fooling people, just like Adam Sandler’s live-action Simpsons movie and the movie Friends Reunited.

“From the quirky world of Matilda comes The Trunch, a thrilling new origin story narrated by Danny DeVito. Meet ten-year-old Agatha Trunchbull (played by newcomer Amelia Davis), a girl destined to become the fearsome headmistress we all love to hate,” the fabricated press release reads.

“Set in 1964, young Trunchbull is sent to a strict boarding school where her wild personality and love of discipline take shape. Amidst midnight escapades, unruly classmates and tough staff, Agatha begins to develop her iron will, paving the way for her future reign at Crunchem Hall.

“Full of fun, suspense and unexpected laughs, The Trunch offers a wonderful insight into the early life of one of the most iconic characters in children’s literature. Coming to Prime Video in November 2024!”

And one more thing: Amelia Davis is not a real actress! It’s just a name pulled out of thin air that accompanies an AI-generated image of a young girl.

Will there be another Matilda movie?

There are no plans for a sequel to the Netflix series “Matilda,” but Danny DeVito says there are plans for a reunion with the star of the original film, Mara Wilson.

Unfortunately, it won’t be a movie: They will team up to narrate the 1996 film while the score is performed live. “Mara and I had planned to perform Matilda live with the New Jersey Philharmonic Orchestra just before the strike started,” he told the Messenger.

“We had everything prepared, but after the strike we couldn’t go ahead because it would have been seen as advertising a film. But we still plan to do it. We’ll watch the film with David Newman’s score and try to do it soon because it looks like the strike is coming to an end soon – I hope!”

DeVito had been thinking about making “Matilda 2” “when the boy was still a child,” he explained.

“But that was 20 or 25 years ago. Maybe Matilda has a child and we can do something with it, I don’t know.”

Wilson told Entertainment Tonight she had “resisted the idea for a long time… but I love working with Danny and the thing is, I don’t act that much anymore. But when I do, it’s usually with people I love, so I wouldn’t turn down the chance to work with him again, I think.”

“So it’s a maybe! For a long time I would have said no, but especially in the last few months since doing Cameo and Instagram, all the messages I get from people who love it… it means a lot to me.”

Both Matilda movies are available on Netflix now. You can also check out our list of TV shows streaming this month.
