There's only one word on the lips of film fans this Christmas and that is "Wonka". Arriving amidst plenty of hype and rave reviews, this new tale from Paddington director Paul King charts the early days of author Roald Dahl's beloved chocolatier Willy Wonka, played by Dune star Timothée Chalamet. As he begins his journey to opening his own shop, Wonka meets many characters including young orphan Noodle, who is brought to life by newcomer Calah Lane.
Ahead of the film's release, Total Film sat down with Lane to discuss the new movie, working with Chalamet, and, of course, her favorite chocolate. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
