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, director Paul King‘s (PADDINGTON, PADDINTON 2)  WONKA tells the musically wondrous story of how the world’s greatest inventor, magician and chocolate-maker became the beloved Willy Wonka we know today. With Timothée Chalamet, Hugh Grant, Keegan-Michael Key, Matt Lucas, Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, Jim Carter, Olivia Colman, Natasha Rothwell.

“With director Paul King at the helm and some solid new songs at the ready, the warmly old-fashioned Wonka puts a suitably sweet spin on the classic character while still leaving some room for the source material’s darker undertones.” (Rotten Tomatoes)
