Big execs throwing darts at a wall of ‘IPs we haven’t ruined for 5 years’ finally hit on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory eh?
I will add this to the big list of films that I choose to believe never happened.
At the end of the day what matters is if it’s good, but this looks bad. Everything about it feels like it’s desperately trying to be whimsical but it’s all forced and flat.
This looks terrible. Just everything about it just looks gross.
Well, it’s from the person who made paddington. But I am also in a “why?” sort of question.
Timothee Chalamet just doesn’t seem like the right fit for this role. He’s just not selling it for me. Maybe it’s because I’ve watched Dune too many times.
His performance just doesn’t have whimsy in it. You can tell he’s trying but it feels really forced. Wonka needs an exceptional performance, not just a big name.
It’s both too big and too flat all at once.
Why is Wonka being played by an actor in his mid twenties?
It’s a prequel. He’s younger.
Another reboot? Bet it won’t break even.
