Timothée Chalamet is ready to head to a world of pure imagination as the Oscar- nominated actor is set to star as the iconic innovator and chocolate maker in Warner Bros and the Roald Dahl StoryCo.’s Wonka. Grounded on characters created by Roald Dahl, the story will concentrate on a youthful Willy Wonka and his adventures previous to opening the world’s most notorious chocolate plant. Sources also tell Deadline that Wonka will mark the first time Chalamet gets to show off his singing and dancing chops with several musical figures set to appear in the film. He’s been the top choice for some time but scheduling was a chain that had to be overcome as training for those figures is included in the fix for this film.
Paul King will direct from the script he wrote with Simon Farnaby (with previous pens including Simon Rich, Simon Stephenson, Jeff Nathanson and Steven Levenson). David Heyman is producing via his Florescence Flicks. Luke Kelly is also producing, with Michael Siegel and Alexandra Derbyshire superintendent producing.
This marks the third time WB has taken on the Wonka story, with the former performances being acclimations of Dahl’s classic new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The first one, in 1971, starred Gene Wilder as Wonka, and the alternate in 2005 starred Johnny Depp in the part. While plot details are unknown, the new snap will be an origin tale of the character and mark the first time Charlie Bucket won't be featured.
For Chalamet, the Oscar designee has avoided the tentpole snap over the times with his forthcoming Drift adaption being his first true adventure into the kidney. This film will also give him a possible ballot was well. Latterly this time, Chalamet will be seen gaping in Denis Villeneuve’s Drift for Warner Bros and Legendary, Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch contrary Frances McDormand, and Adam McKay’s Do n’t Look Up contrary Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence. He's repped by UTA and attorney Lev Ginsburg.
