Film Details
After the 1971 and 2005 Willy Wonka adaptations, Chalamet is the next actor to take on the titular role.
According to Deadline, the “Call Me by Your Name” actor will portray a younger Willy Wonka. The film is a prequel and based on Roald Dahl’s characters from the original book.
“Wonka” will follow “a young Willy Wonka and his adventures prior to opening the world’s most famous chocolate factory.” The film marks the 25-year old’s first singing and dancing gig, as the film includes several musical numbers.
Although there isn’t a clear plot for the film, the story reportedly doesn’t focus on Charlie Bucket. It will focus on the origins of Willy Wonka instead.
“Wonka” is directed by Paul King and produced by David Heyman, along with Michael Siegel and Alexandra Derbyshire as executive producers.
