Timothée Chalamet sings, dances, and makes chocolate in sweet 'Wonka' trailer

We've seen Timothée Chalamet as a teen heartthrob in Lady Bird, an Oscar contender in Call Me By Your Name, a sci-fi princeling in Dune, and a road-tripping cannibal in Bones and All. Now, Chalamet adds a newer, sweeter role to his resumé: that of Willy Wonka, Roald Dahl's famed chocolatier. In the upcoming Wonka, an origin story for the eponymous candy-making genius, Chalamet takes on the part first played to perfection by Gene Wilder in 1971's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
While we've already been blessed with a few looks at Wonka, its first full trailer is a sweet treat for Chalamet fans and moviegoers everywhere. We see a young Willy Wonka set out to become a renowned chocolate maker, only for his dreams to be thwarted by the members of the devious Chocolate Cartel. Whatever will Willy do?
Get creative, that's what.
The trailer showcases some of Willy Wonka's earliest inventions, including Hoverchoc, a chocolate that makes you fly. On top of that, we get a good look at some lavish musical numbers — featuring singing and dancing from Chalamet himself — and a sneak peek at Willy's first encounter with an Oompa Loompa, played by a bright orange, shrunken-down Hugh Grant.
Plus, there are Paddington reunions in the mix, as director Paul King includes not only Paddington 2 baddie Grant but also Sally Hawkins in a star-studded cast that also boasts Rowan Atkinson, Olivia Colman, and Keegan-Michael Key.
Wonka hits theaters Dec. 15.
such weird feels from that clip...like they mixed up that beasts harry potter movie with an AI generated "Tim Burton meets Wes Anderson" prompt.
ReplyDeleteHow many times do they have to remake movies. Maybe try coming up with something original for a change. 🤷♀️
ReplyDeleteOr come up with an original thought

ReplyDeleteGreat, grate, GrrEat, GrrAte, always, all ways, all weighs, wheys, a treat, & only a few goyumming PSYOPS, phew, whirled wore art official intelligence, whew.
ReplyDeleteNo. Just no.
ReplyDeleteNothing will beat the original

Wow it looks sooooo bad
ReplyDeleteAren't two versions enough?
ReplyDeleteIs one of the questions why? How many Wonka movies do we need? There are other books in the series, do the next story, let’s stop creating new origin stories.
ReplyDeleteWould of preferred a continuation where Charlie is in charge 🤷♂️
ReplyDeleteJust cos Willy Wonka seems like a nonce doesn’t mean they had to find one to play him
ReplyDeleteSo excited to see Mat Baynton getting the great roles he deserves!!
ReplyDeleteI love how it seems as a origin story, I also love how it will be out for Christmas such perfect timing. ❤
ReplyDeleteI was REALLY suspicious about this film when the news dropped like a year ago, and was thinking, " oh God this is gonna be a disaster!" Because I thought it was going to be like those live action Disney movies.. But Paddington and Paddington 2 are masterpieces! And one of my favorite movies of all time!
ReplyDeleteIt also has the Harry Potter producer too!! Which you can't go wrong with.
I'm definitely pretty hype for this movie. I'm a huge fan of the original Gene Wilder movie, And I think that they capture some of that essence in the trailer.
We need wholesome movies like this! It's about time.. ♥️♥️♥️
It would be awesome if we could go back to making FUN whimsical and magical movies that were around in the '90s and '80s like Matilda, the page master, or something♥️
Anyways I'm so hyped for this!!!!
wow ffs
DeleteMaybe this is a minor thing, but after seeing the Tim Burton version I was always curious about what kind of person Willy's mother was and I'm glad this film will be exploring that. Also Timothee' seems to be striking a good medium between Johnny Depp and Gene Wilder's performances. I'm looking forward to this.
ReplyDeleteTo see Timothee Chalamet sound so goofy and quirky, makes me laugh! I mean in Dune and other things I see him, he seems so serious and reserved. This is whole different view of him and I like it! It looks so cute with the music playing in the background and seeing all the colors, musical numbers! Perfect Christmas movie!!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a classy classic. Love that it seems to be an origin story.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'm alone in thinking this movie is gonna be really good, or really bad. And God bless Timothee Chalamet. He has that mysterious, handsome charm that Wilder did.
ReplyDeleteOh my bot.
Delete"From the Director of Paddington" I'm sold, those movies are cinematic masterpieces
ReplyDeleteI -almost rolled my eyes at yet another movie that will be riding brand recognition all the way to profit, but it actually looks delightful and that it will be a happy edition to the Wonka lore.
ReplyDeleteI wasnt super into this when I heard about it but this actually looks really good.
ReplyDeleteI need this movie like I never thought I did before.
ReplyDeleteI was afraid of Johnny Depp's Willy Wonka but I loved the movie, it was magical, this Willy is not afraid it's just magical and I don't know if that's good or bad
ReplyDeleteI hope Depp gets a cameo.
DeleteThat's bad. I forgot or had no idea they already made a reboot.
DeleteIf you recall, the Depp wonka film had his origin story already in it. So we're just ignoring that now I guess?
DeleteFr tho, as a kid I was always terrified by Depp Willy Wonka as it seemed to me like he was kidnapping the kids and turned them into something unchangable. His expression and the mood of the movie were just very uncomfortable to watch, but it was a good movie afterall. Hope this movie is more magical so it would not traumatize young kids 😂
Deletereally? i LOVED that movie as a kid particularly because of willy wonka.
DeleteI was a little hesitant when I heard news about this movie but honestly after seeing the trailer I am now excited! I love how whimsical and fun this seems but it still has a serious note as well
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely wonderful. I can't wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteSo excited for this movie! Our family will be enjoying it this holiday for sure 😁👍💕
ReplyDeleteWhat I loved about the old Oompa Loompa's was how friendly yet oddly terrifying they were, not just because of their appearance. They managed to keep that feeling which I'm absolutely all for 😂
ReplyDeleteWow, I never thought that I would see Daniel Thrasher on the big screen! He suits the character so well!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good movie for me.
ReplyDeleteI grew up with the Roald Dahl books during my childhood, and have read all the books with exitement.
The Charlie and the Chocolate Factory book is one of my favourite books, and it has given me thoughts on how it had been if the chocolates in the books was real stuff.
Now that the two movies from 1971 and 2005 with Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp has given their magic out, we get the story of how Willy Wonka became the chocolate maker every fan has read about.
I bet there still a fan or more who want's to get exited to see this one as a christmas present before the holidays.
I will for sure grab some sweets and see it for myself.
This looks like the perfect Christmas movie. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteExcited to see this. Timothy Chalamet feels like a beautiful mix of gene wilder and Johnny Depps Willy Wonkas. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI had zero expectations before watching this, Now I am excited for this movie... This is a Beautiful looking Trailer...
ReplyDeleteI love his quirkiness as Willy Wonka! Can't wait to watch the movie❤
ReplyDeleteI never get tired of the original Willy Wonka! I love that movie so much!🫶🏽I’m definitely going to the movies to see this!
ReplyDeleteI’m surprised as this actually looks surprisingly good. Chalmalet looks solidly cast. I’m in
ReplyDeleteThis quite literally will be the perfect movie for Christmas
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be so good omg. I’m one who watches older movies but man….. I CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS ONE.
ReplyDeleteOlivia Colman! She's superb.
ReplyDeleteHarry Potter and paddington just makes all the magic happen
ReplyDeleteWill take my brother to the theater so he checks this out. No way he's missing out on such a masterpiece.
ReplyDeleteThat subtle 'pure imagination' semblance tone at 1:30 hit the feels!
ReplyDeleteusually a bit suspicious of origin stories, but this has the cast and support to be a banger, as well as an actual intriguing backstory in the original
ReplyDeleteRowan Atkinson's presence in films brings me joy every time,he is iconic
ReplyDeleteOk now I'm conflicted, when my son told me about this I screamed "NOOOOOO" and "WTF they are thinking" But watching the trailer now I'm a little inclined to give it a chance and then I saw Hugh Grant and I almost fell off my chair 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Hugh Grant is the miracle ingredient!
DeleteWarner bros never disappoint us 🤗❤️
ReplyDeleteWow this looks so magical!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to watch it❤
Brought back so many childhood memories😍
At first I was very "meh" hearing about a new Wonka. But after seeing this trailer? YES! And Hugh Grant as an Oompa Loompa is an unexpected bonus!!!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for this movie!! It's going to be better than the last two!!
ReplyDeleteAs Willy Wonka once said, the Chocolate must flow.
ReplyDeleteAn original Wonka story, acting and time period look solid, count me in!
ReplyDeleteJust after seeing him dark, dreadful, and dreary in Dune and now bright, bubbly, and brilliant in Wonka is a huge whiplash. I actually believe he's a different person in this. That's impressive, nowadays. Glad he wasn't typecast!
ReplyDeleteI also like how they're leaning hard into fantasy!!
Now that is a proper Christmas movie 😁
ReplyDeleteProbably going to be the best holiday movie this year.
ReplyDeleteThe trailer felt quite wholesome, then Hugh Grant came on and I burst out laughing. 🤣😂
ReplyDeleteI can’t believe Horrible Histories guy Matthew is in this movie, I’m so proud of how far he’s come!!
ReplyDeleteNo one can replace Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka.
ReplyDeleteChalamet is everywhere! This young man is on top of the world right now.
ReplyDeleteNo one will do this role better than Johnny Depp, unfortunately
ReplyDeleteTimothée's voice is like chocolate to my ears.
ReplyDeleteYet his acting in this seems terrible and forced
Delete0:31 OH MY-
ReplyDeleteAs a MASSIVE Horrible Histories fan, I had to take a double take just make sure that was Matt Baynton.
I can't wait to see this, I always loved Matt's acting and personality.
It's hard not to measure every Willy Wonka performance against Gene Wilder's take on the character. Looking forward to seeing Timothee's version!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for this! It feels like a prequel to the Gene Wilder movie (I liked the Johnny Depp one too, but Wilder was on another level as Wonka), and it gives me vibes of Mary Poppins meets The Greatest Showman! My only hangup is that Wonka said "Scratch that, reverse it" instead of "Strike that, reverse it", but that's a tiny nitpick. This looks great!!!
ReplyDeleteThey’re working overtime to make him look like a good guy, but all this does is make me realize why he’s set out to put every other candy business out of business
ReplyDeleteWILLY WONKA is basically child like person who never gave up his inner child. SO BEAUTIFUL 😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤
ReplyDeleteThis brought tears to my eyes ❤ I was just singing the Willy Wonka song the other night 🍫
ReplyDeleteI know it's nothing like the book, but the original film is unbeatable!!
ReplyDeletei was skeptical about another wonka movie, but this looks like an origin story, which is something i didnt know i needed til now
ReplyDeleteThis doesn't make sense
DeleteThis could be the best Christmas movie this year.
ReplyDeleteWow, I never thought Daniel Thrasher would play Wonka. He really is the Wonka to our Willy.
ReplyDeleteHugh Grant being an Oompa Loompa just killed me lol. If anyone didn't want to see this movie before they should see it now. Hugh Grant is an Oompa Loompa is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing. He seems like Gene wilder in the original
ReplyDeleteWilly Wonka is back in our childhoods
ReplyDeleteI think the most fantastical and unbelievable element of this trailer is the idea of an American creating decent chocolate.
ReplyDeleteI am very glad to see that this leans more towards the Gene Wilder version (my childhood favorite). Looking forward to seeing it.
