Another entry in “films no one, absolutely no one, asked for”. Warner Bros just keeps tripping over itself. And up against the Chicken Run sequel for the same weekend.

Am I right in remembering this Wonka is with Timothy Chalemet?

You’re absolutely correct. This version of Wonka is played by Timothy Chalemet.

Chicken Run is a Netflix film though.

Streaming releases are still competition. Pay out the wazoo on tickets/drinks/snacks to go to the theater VS a home premier as part of an ongoing subscription, bits from your own pantry, and readily paused for bathroom breaks or otherwise. Loads of people avoid the theater since the movie will show up on X service in a few weeks. Wild times.

Jesus can we ever get anything new? Charlie and the Chocolate Factory already got a fucking reboot two decades ago. We don’t need a third one

I’m hoping for a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie universe, purely for the inevitable, gritty spin-off, OOMPA

“Call me Oompa Loompa one more time, motherfucker, I DARE YOU…”

I think if they were to make a Oompa-Loompa spinoff it’d end up being like the Minions, yet even more annoying somehow

No it would probably get dark like everything legally has to be now

Almost. It was 2005. And it was a good movie too, imo. Doesn’t need fixing like the original did.

Woah Woah Woah. The original was a masterpiece. When you skip the cheer up charlie song.

I found charlie and the chocolate factory OK.

This is a prequel so it’s a new side of the story. My bigger problem with this is that it just looks really bad. The performance falls really flat and feels desperate to invoke whimsy, but it’s failing badly at it.

Why is this guy being cast in everything? Aren’t there any other actors?

He is the Kwisatz Haderach, the one who can be in many places at once.

The Depp one was decent, he’s pretty good at playing bizarre character actors. Tim looks like he’s over his head in this one…

I actually agree, the film itself wasn’t bad, it’s just Depp that’s unbearable…

I think the only thing I’ve seen Chalemet in was Little Women, and he was quite off putting in that, so as far as I’m concerned he’s a perfect fit lol
