Wonka Movie Trailer:
The first trailer for Wonka, a prequel to Roald Dahl’s beloved Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, has given us a look at Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet in the lead role.
The Dune and Call Me by Your Name actor stars as a young version of Willy Wonka, the eccentric chocolate mogul, before he opens his factory, having spent “seven years traveling the world perfecting” his craft. The film also stars Hugh Grant as a CGI Oompa Loompa with Olivia Colman, Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, and Keegan-Michael Key filling out the cast. “To work on something that will have an uncynical young audience, that was just a big joy,” Chalamet said in May. “That’s why I was drawn to it. In a time and climate of intense political rhetoric, when there’s so much bad news all the time, this is hopefully going to be a piece of chocolate.”
