I remember loving the wild comedy, all the crazy characters, and the magic and mayhem of the chocolate factory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Years later, King would read it again from the perspective of an adult \u2013 and he found new things to love about the story! \u201cWhen David [Heyman, producer] mentioned the idea of making a Wonka movie, I read it again and realized it also has an incredibly rich, almost Dickensian emotional core,\u201d shares the director. \u201cCharlie is such a kind, decent little boy and his family\u2019s poverty causes them such suffering. The fact he goes on to inherit the factory, a more wonderful gift than he could ever have dreamt, had me in floods of tears \u2013 and the prospect of trying to make a film which captured Dahl\u2019s spirit was too exciting to turn down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Wonka<\/em> tells the story of Willy Wonka\u2019s younger days, when he was just starting out as a chocolate-maker hoping to share his chocolate with the world by setting up shop at the cathedral of candy known as the Galeries Gourmet \u2013 with nothing but a few sovereigns (coins) and a hat full of dreams. A prequel to the 2005 hit <em>Charlie and the Chocolate Factory<\/em>, <em>Wonka<\/em> is written by King and produced by David Heyman, himself no stranger to magical worlds, having produced all <em>Harry Potter<\/em> movies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working with Heyman is \u201ca true creative partnership,\u201d says King. \u201cI love David\u2019s ideas, his taste and sensibility. He\u2019s my first audience and the only person as tough on the film as I am. We share the same aspirations, and the same pain when we feel we\u2019ve fallen short. He\u2019s a relentless perfectionist, and not only supports me every step of the way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film\u2019s genius filmmaking team is complemented by a very talented ensemble cast, led by Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet as Willy Wonka. \u201cTimoth\u00e9e gives an absolutely extraordinary performance,\u201d says King. \u201cWilly is strange and unnerving, funny and charming but with a glint of steel, and Timoth\u00e9e somehow keeps all these plates spinning at once. He needed to be able to sing and dance and deliver a very carefully choreographed performance, yet also dig deep into his emotions, and I was constantly amazed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the film, Willy has a very much-needed friend in Noodle, played by a \u201cbrilliant young actress called Calah Lane.\u201d Supporting but no less whimsical characters are played by a powerhouse cast that includes Olivia Colman, Sally Hawkins, Keegan-Michael Key, Hugh Grant and Rowan Atkinson. \u201cRowan is one of my longtime comedy heroes and it was an honor and delight to work with him,\u201d says King of the actor beloved the world over for playing Mr. Bean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Watch Noodle in this \u201cTry One\u201d clip from the film: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/BtjbGy0UTvg\"><em>https:\/\/youtu.be\/BtjbGy0UTvg<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the decision to cast Hugh Grant as an Oompa Loompa, King says it was a very easy one to make. \u201cThe Oompa Loompas don\u2019t have much dialogue in the books but they do have these long songs where they take an almost gleeful pleasure in the demise of all the ghastly children who tour the factory,\u201d says King. \u201cThey\u2019re so funny and biting and scornful, and as I was reading them, Hugh\u2019s voice kept coming into my head. From there, it wasn\u2019t a huge step to go, \u2018Wouldn\u2019t it be funny to see him eighteen inches high with bright green hair and orange skin?\u2019 It was perfect.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Watch Hugh Grant as an Oompa Loompa in this \u201cFunny Little Man\u201d clip from the film: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/htwx15S340c\"><em>https:\/\/youtu.be\/htwx15S340c<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the movie wouldn\u2019t be complete without the chocolates! Of the many chocolate creations in <em>Wonka<\/em>, does King have any favorites? \u201cWell, the Hoverchocs are delicious,\u201d shares the director. \u201cSadly, they don\u2019t literally make you fly, but we had our very own chocolate maker on the team, Gabrielle Cugno, who made the most exquisite creations. And I can personally vouch for the fact they are the most delicious chocolates I\u2019ve ever had. You bite into them and there\u2019s that perfect chocolatey snap, and as they melt in your mouth, you taste more and more delicate flavors. My favorite part of the whole process was tasting her chocolate (which I did far more often than was technically necessary). I think I gained about fifty pounds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Watch this \u201cA Good Chocolate\u201d clip from the film: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ZdfGpMMr1pI\"><em>https:\/\/youtu.be\/ZdfGpMMr1pI<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A magical world full of fun and colorful characters and lots and lots of sweet treats, \u201c<em>Wonka<\/em> is the perfect Christmas movie,\u201d says the director. \u201cIt\u2019s like a great chocolate. It\u2019s got a fun, colorful exterior and a warm, sweet center which will leave you with a delicious aftertaste! And while it would be great fun to scoff the whole box down on your own, you\u2019re better off sharing it with your family and friends.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready for your holiday treat?
