Wonka will hit the big screen on December 15, 2023. Warner Bros. Pictures made an announcement while showing the teaser that was full of magic and music.
Talking about your companion film during the holiday season, you might be delighted to know about this one! Wonka is scheduled to brighten up your December. The musical fantasy remake flick starring Timothée Chalamet, as the candy man who owns a chocolate factory has a new schedule after previously was supposed to be released on March 17, 2023.
This announcement was released by Warner Bros. Pictures at CinemaCon in Las Vegas. A short video flaunted the French-American actor, singing and dancing as Willy Wonka. “Is everybody ready?” Wonka tells at the beginning of the short clip, according to The Hollywood Reporter, before several lyrical sets show up.
Chalamet was spotted filming the origin story in England back in February but gave the public the first look at his character in October 2021. Willy Wonka is a character created by a famous British writer, Roald Dahl. The character himself has previously been portrayed on the big screen two times. The first one was by the late Gene Wilder in 1971 classic and Johnny Depp in the Tim Burton version in 2005. Unrelated to this scheme, Netflix is also working with the Roald Dahl Story Company (RDSC) to create a series based on this timeless tale.
Last July, the leads of the original Willy Wonka movie musical told PEOPLE they were thrilled to see the new remake as they celebrated the first film’s 50th anniversary.
“But again, there’s been so many different versions of Willy Wonka, be it on Broadway, opera, a pinball machine … you can’t kill the Willy Wonka story,” said Peter Ostrum who portrayed Charlie Bucket. “So all of it is good. It’s a great story. And people enjoy whatever different version they’re watching; it’s fun to watch. So I think we’re all looking forward to the prequel.”
What do you think of the upcoming remake? Will Timothée Chalamet nail the Willy Wonka character just like his predecessors? We surely can’t wait to see him and other casts hit the theatres!
