“Wonka,” which stars Timothée Chalamet and is a prequel to Roald Dahl’s well-known “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” will give fans of a classic a new look.
A new trailer for the movie, which will be shown for the first time in December, shows adventure and gives a glimpse into the past of a famous character’s cleverness. The first trailer shows a lot of strange things, like children flying, big balloons floating in the air, and giraffes running around the streets.
In the first shots, Chalamet is seen wearing the well-known brown top hat and plush purple coat that Willy Wonka wears. Chalamet’s character is a young man who loves to make and sell chocolate and is eager to open the “greatest chocolate shop the world has ever seen.”
What Is the Story of “Wonka”?
“Wonka” will be a prequel to the story told in Roald Dahl‘s 1964 children’s book “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and in the 1971 movie-musical starring Gene Wilder and the 2005 remake starring Johnny Depp.
In marketing materials, the movie is called “The wondrous story of How the World’s greatest inventor, magician, and chocolate-maker Became the Beloved Willy Wonka we know today.” It is said to be an “intoxicating mix of magic and music, mayhem and emotion.”
In one scene from the trailer, young Willy Wonka shows off his latest invention: candy that makes people fly. This could be a reference to the first movie, in which Charlie and his grandfather float after drinking Willy Wonka’s fizzy soda. In another, Hugh Grant plays an Oompa Loompa, and Chalamet talks to him. This is a detail that got a lot of attention on YouTube.
Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” is “the most important story of our time,” according to an exclusive video.
The Cast and Crew of “Wonka”
“Wonka” is directed by Paul King, who wrote and directed the “Paddington” movies, David Heyman, who produced “Harry Potter,” and Alexandra Derbyshire and Luke Kelly, who are also producers.
