Warner Bros. Discovery has released the first trailer for “Wonka,” offering a glimpse into the early days of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. In this film, Timothée Chalamet portrays a young Wonka, chronicling his journey from developing his beloved recipes to the moment he meets the iconic Oompa Loompas who will assist him in running his empire. The trailer showcases Wonka’s rise and his relentless pursuit of creating the greatest chocolate factory in existence.
What stands out in this trailer is Chalamet’s portrayal of Wonka, which differs from previous interpretations by Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp. Chalamet brings a more optimistic and quirky demeanor to the character as he seeks to revolutionize the chocolate industry. The film follows his ambitious endeavors, starting from humble beginnings in his tiny apartment, as he strives to break into a closed-off and traditional industry. Alongside him is the dancing Oompa Loompa played by Hugh Grant, adding to the colorful and upbeat atmosphere.
Music plays a crucial role in “Wonka,” as evident in the trailer. Just like previous adaptations of Roald Dahl’s classic story, such as Wilder’s “Pure Imagination,” music is integrated effectively. The film boasts original songs, with contributions from Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy, promising a captivating auditory experience. Chalamet takes center stage with seven musical numbers, using singing as a creative escape from his previous roles, including the cannibal romance film “Bones and All.”
In addition to Chalamet’s captivating performance, “Wonka” features a talented ensemble cast. Keegan Michael-Key stars opposite Chalamet and has praised his cheery portrayal of Wonka. The film also includes actors such as Tom Davis, Simon Farnaby, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Mathew Baynton, Jim Carter, Sally Hawkins, Olivia Colman, Rowan Atkinson, and Rich Fulcher. Directed by Paul King, known for his work on the “Paddington” films, “Wonka” delivers a prequel story with a script written by Simon Farnaby, who collaborated with King on “Paddington 2.”
“Wonka” is set to open the doors of the chocolate factory on December 15. Be sure to watch the captivating trailer below:
