Paul King directed Wonka, starring Timothée Chalamet, who appears as playful, funny and charismatic as Willy Wonka. Produced by David Heyman, who brought us the Harry Potter franchise and other films, like Once Upon a Time … In Hollywood, the story follows Wonka during his formative years.
The focus is on young Willy, how he met the Oomp-Loompas on his early adventures, and how he established his candy manufacturing business.
Only Heyman can plan such a powerful cast, including Olivia Colman, Ryan Gosling, Hugh Grant, Sally Hawkins and Rowan Atkinson.
