Warner Bros. Discovery might be walking about without a single functioning brain cell when it comes to Coyote vs. Acme, but its release slate for the rest of the year is looking pretty damn packed. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is the fourth DC movie of the year they are releasing, and the final chance to hit that sweet spot of having decent critical and commercial reception as this era of the DC Universe comes to a close. The Color Purple is bringing a classic to a new generation and is undoubtedly looking to snag some serious Oscar gold. And then there's Wonka, which has some buzz behind it but also still seems like a movie that was formed by AI looking for movie ideas that might sell well. However, the film has a great cast and an excellent director, so maybe it will work. A new TV spot has been released that teases all of our dreams coming true.
Wonka: Summary, Cast List, Release Date
Based on the extraordinary character at the center of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Roald Dahl's most iconic children's book and one of the best-selling children's books of all time, Wonka tells the wondrous story of how the world's greatest inventor, magician and chocolate-maker became the beloved Willy Wonka we know today.
From Paul King, writer/director of the Paddington films, David Heyman, producer of Harry Potter, Gravity, Fantastic Beasts and Paddington, and producers Alexandra Derbyshire (the Paddington films, Jurassic World: Dominion) and Luke Kelly (Roald Dahl's The Witches), comes an intoxicating mix of magic and music, mayhem and emotion, all told with fabulous heart and humor. Starring Timothée Chalamet in the title role, this irresistibly vivid and inventive big-screen spectacle will introduce audiences to a young Willy Wonka, chock-full of ideas and determined to change the world one delectable bite at a time—proving that the best things in life begin with a dream, and if you're lucky enough to meet Willy Wonka, anything is possible.
