*“Wonka” has all the ingredients that are needed for exciting entertainment. Most important is that audiences leave theaters feeling uplifted. Memorable music and catchy lyrics set the stage for impromptu bursts of singing. Not to mention, the story is universal and everyone can relate to it. The bonding chemistry between Willy Wonka (Timothée Chalamet) and Noodle (Calah Lane) is palpable. And last, but not least, the wit and humor puts a smile on your face.
“When I think about the main theme of this movie, its raison d’etre is to bring joy into the world,” says Chalamet. “It’s to encourage dreaming; to encourage the dreamers to continue dreaming; to encourage declaring yourself as you are, who you are, without question. It’s to declare that to share in kindness and enthusiasm is to pave a way forward. Not only for yourself, but for those around you. It’s about community surviving in spaces of erosion. It’s about light and love.”
Based on the iconic character at the center of Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, a best-selling children’s book, “Wonka” tells the story of how a young chocolate-maker, armed with nothing but a hatful of dreams, manages to change the world, one delicious bite at a time. However, that love is not shared by all on Wonka’s journey to become an eminent chocolatier.
In this prequel, Wonka lands in the capital of the candy world. After traveling for seven years to reach this destination, he is homeless and almost penniless. He signs on to lodgings at a boarding house/laundry factory run by the evil Mrs. Scrubbit (Olivia Colman), without reading the fine print.
Much to his distress, Wonka finds himself slaving for Calah Lane and Timothee Chalamet in Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures the “WONKA” as an indentured worker washing sheets. Noodle, who warned him to read the fine print before he signed on the dotted line, becomes a trusted friend. Find out how Wonka gets out of his predicament to become the world’s greatest inventor, magician, and chocolate-maker while being immersed in joyous and delightful escapism.
Directed by Paul King, “Wonka” also stars Keegan-Michael Key, Paterson Joseph, Matt Lucas, Mathew Baynton, Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, and Hugh Grant.
