Author Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory continues to grab the imaginations of the world since its publication in 1964. But now, a prequel digging into the man known as Willy Wonka is about to open a new chapter for folks young and old to uncover. Which has led to our first look at Timothée Chalamet and Hugh Grant in Wonka. Based on what I've seen here, I'm all in on this beautiful gobstopper -- including Grant's turn as a dancing Oompa Loompa.
Directed by Paddington alum Paul King, everything we know about Wonka includes the fact that Warner Bros.’ big winter tentpole focuses on the origins of Willy before he was known as the renowned chocolatier. Gazing upon the whimsical world of the amazing mogul's early years trying to make a name for himself, King's hiring is once again proven to be a fantastic match for this project.
