Wonka with Timothée Chalamet: the first reviews are in!

Wonka, it’s probably one of the most anticipated films of the year 2023. But then, who knows? Wonka completely takes over the universe of Charlie and the chocolate factory to explore another avenue: that of Willy Wonka, a fictional character from the original 1964 novel. In the parent work, he is described as a short man with “a small black goatee cut into a point” and an “clear and fluent voice”. Over the years, numerous film adaptations of Charlie and the chocolate factory have seen the day. The first, in 1971, which presented the famous chocolatier as “rather tall and relatively young, not appearing to be over forty”. Finally, in the 2005 film, he is “very tall and slender”, with brown hair. Hey, that reminds us of someone…

You will have understood, over the course of the adaptations, the description of Willy Wonka in the novel, was less and less faithful. Cinema has thus completely reinvented the character. To achieve a result in 2023: the incarnation of Timothée Chalamet. A true rising star of cinema, the Franco-American actor has shown the extent of his talent in several successful films. We will cite in particular Call Me By Your Name or Dunewhose second opus is expected in 2024. But then, what can we expect from the darling of Kylie Jenner In Wonka ? Does this wacky and mischievous character stick to him? One thing is certain, the public can’t wait to see what happens… See you on December 13 in cinemas! In the meantime, for those who are more impatient, it is still possible to consult the first reviews.
