Wonka

Wonka is a 2023 musical fantasy film directed by Paul King, who co-wrote the screenplay with Simon Farnaby. It is a prequel to the film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971), which is itself based on the novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. The film stars Timothée Chalamet as Willy Wonka and also features Calah Lane, Keegan-Michael Key, Paterson Joseph, Matt Lucas, Mathew Baynton, Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, Jim Carter, Olivia Colman, and Hugh Grant. It portrays Willy Wonka's early days as a chocolatier while contending with his future rivals. Development began when Warner Bros. Pictures reacquired the film rights to the character in October 2016 and announced that the film would be an origin story.
