wonkWarner Bros. has released a new poster for Wonka, the forthcoming prequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory starring Timothée Chalamet and Hugh Grant. The film, from Paddington director Paul King, is set for a December release, and is explicitly a prequel to Warners' own Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, even including the Oompa Loompa song from that movie. Simon Farnaby and King wrote the screenplay, based on a story by King and characters created by Roald Dahl.
In the image, Willie Wonka is seated in the middle, surrounded by the trappings of the story, including some wildly colorful and creative candy. It comes, of course, as audiences are readying themselves to celebrate Halloween.
Starring alongside Chalamet are Calah Lane , Emmy and Peabody Award winner Keegan-Michael Key , Paterson Joseph , Matt Lucas , Mathew Baynton , Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins , Rowan Atkinson , Jim Carter , with Oscar winner Olivia Colman and Hugh Grant . The film also stars Natasha Rothwell , Rich Fulcher , Rakhee Thakrar , Tom Davis and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith .
Wonka will open in the U.S. on December 15, following an international IMAX engagement beginning on December 6.
