WONKA | Official Trailer

Only in theaters December 15. #WonkaMovie

Based on the extraordinary character at the center of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Roald Dahl’s most iconic children’s book and one of the best-selling children’s books of all time, “Wonka” tells the wondrous story of how the world’s greatest inventor, magician and chocolate-maker became the beloved Willy Wonka we know today.

From Paul King, writer/director of the “Paddington” films, David Heyman, producer of “Harry Potter,” “Gravity,” “Fantastic Beasts” and “Paddington,” and producers Alexandra Derbyshire (the “Paddington” films, “Jurassic World: Dominion”) and Luke Kelly (“Roald Dahl’s The Witches”), comes an intoxicating mix of magic and music, mayhem and emotion, all told with fabulous heart and humor. Starring Timothée Chalamet in the title role, this irresistibly vivid and inventive big screen spectacle will introduce audiences to a young Willy Wonka, chock-full of ideas and determined to change the world one delectable bite at a time—proving that the best things in life begin with a dream, and if you’re lucky enough to meet Willy Wonka, anything is possible.

Starring alongside Chalamet are Calah Lane (“The Day Shall Come”), Emmy and Peabody Award winner Keegan-Michael Key (“The Prom,” “Schmigadoon”), Paterson Joseph (“Vigil,” “Noughts + Crosses”), Matt Lucas (“Paddington,” “Little Britain”), Mathew Baynton (“The Wrong Mans,” “Ghosts”), Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins (“The Shape of Water,” the “Paddington” films, “Spencer”), Rowan Atkinson (the “Johnny English” and “Mr. Bean” films, “Love Actually”), Jim Carter (“Downton Abbey”), with Oscar winner Olivia Colman (“The Favourite”). The film also stars Natasha Rothwell (“White Lotus,” “Insecure”), Rich Fulcher (“Marriage Story,” “Disenchantment”), Rakhee Thakrar (“Sex Education,” “Four Weddings and a Funeral”), Tom Davis (“Paddington 2,” “King Gary”) and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith (“Paddington 2,” “Zack Snyder’s Justice League,” “Mary Poppins Returns”).

Simon Farnaby (“Paddington 2”) & Paul King wrote the screenplay, based on a story by King and characters created by Roald Dahl. Michael Siegel, Cate Adams, Rosie Alison and Tim Wellspring are serving as executive producers. King’s behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Chung-Hoon Chung (“Last Night in Soho,” “Ah-ga-ssi”); Oscar-nominated production designer Nathan Crowley (“Tenet,” “Dunkirk”); editor Mark Everson (the “Paddington” films); Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming (the “Paddington” films, “Topsy-Turvy”); and composer Joby Talbot (the “Sing” films). Neil Hannon of the band The Divine Comedy is writing original songs for the film.

Pictures Presents, in Association with Village Roadshow Pictures, a Heyday Films Production, a Paul King Confection, “Wonka,” set to open in theaters and in IMAX internationally beginning in December 2023 and in North America on December 15, 2023; it will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros.

00:00:00.500 --> 00:00:01.625
- I've spent
the past seven years

00:00:01.708 --> 00:00:03.333
traveling the world,
perfecting my craft.

00:00:05.375 --> 00:00:07.208
You see, I'm something
of a magician,

00:00:07.292 --> 00:00:08.917
inventor and chocolate maker.

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:10.875
So quiet up and listen down.

00:00:10.958 --> 00:00:13.167
Nope. Scratch that, reverse it.

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.458
- Mr. Wonka, I can see you're
a man of great ingenuity.

00:00:17.542 --> 00:00:18.917
- What are you doing?

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:20.208
- I'm making chocolate,
of course.

00:00:20.292 --> 00:00:22.792
How do you like it?
Dark? White? Nutty?

00:00:22.875 --> 00:00:24.208
Absolutely insane?

00:00:24.292 --> 00:00:27.083
- Many people have come here
to sell chocolate.

00:00:27.167 --> 00:00:28.958
They've all been crushed...

00:00:29.083 --> 00:00:32.125
by The Chocolate Cartel.

00:00:32.208 --> 00:00:34.458
You can't get a shop
without selling chocolate,

00:00:34.542 --> 00:00:36.750
and you can't sell chocolate

00:00:36.833 --> 00:00:38.750
without a shop.

00:00:40.583 --> 00:00:42.917
-No daydreaming.
-What are we gonna do, Willy?

00:00:44.667 --> 00:00:45.875
-Huh.

00:00:45.958 --> 00:00:47.750
-Huh?

00:00:47.833 --> 00:00:48.875
-Huh.

00:00:48.958 --> 00:00:49.792
-A double-huh.

00:00:49.875 --> 00:00:51.417
-Do you have a pencil and paper?
-Uh-huh.

00:00:51.500 --> 00:00:52.958
-I got an idea.

00:00:53.875 --> 00:00:55.792
I know things haven't
been easy for you.

00:00:55.875 --> 00:00:57.625
They're gonna get better.
-You promise?

00:00:58.625 --> 00:00:59.833
-I pinkie promise.

00:00:59.917 --> 00:01:01.500
That's the most solemn vow
there is.

00:01:01.583 --> 00:01:03.292
-Where do we start?

00:01:03.375 --> 00:01:04.958
-A good chocolate
should be simple.

00:01:05.083 --> 00:01:07.333
-Whereas this, it's just...
-Weird.

00:01:07.417 --> 00:01:08.875
-CROWD: Whoa!
-What's happening?

00:01:08.958 --> 00:01:10.750

that makes you fly?

00:01:10.833 --> 00:01:11.792

shall we?

00:01:11.875 --> 00:01:13.667

00:01:13.750 --> 00:01:15.917
-[giggles]
-Nothin' to see here.

00:01:15.958 --> 00:01:17.375
Just a small group of people

00:01:17.458 --> 00:01:19.292
defyin' the laws of gravity.

00:01:21.417 --> 00:01:22.958
-Ladies and gentlemen

00:01:23.042 --> 00:01:25.250
of The Galeries Gourmet,

00:01:25.333 --> 00:01:27.750

-[grunts]
-Pretty sure I've gained

00:01:32.875 --> 00:01:34.917
about 150 pounds

00:01:35.625 --> 00:01:37.417
-You could change
her life, Mr. Wonka,

00:01:38.375 --> 00:01:40.333
change all their lives.

00:01:41.500 --> 00:01:42.625
-Run away!

00:01:43.750 --> 00:01:45.667
-Every good thing in this world

00:01:45.750 --> 00:01:47.417
started with a dream.

00:01:49.542 --> 00:01:51.833
So you hold on to yours.

00:01:51.917 --> 00:01:53.667
-[whispers]
Here we go, Mama.

00:01:55.583 --> 00:01:57.167
Mark my words,

00:01:57.250 --> 00:01:58.917
this is gonna be
the greatest chocolate shop...

00:02:00.125 --> 00:02:01.583
...the world has ever seen.

00:02:05.792 --> 00:02:07.208
So you're the funny little man

00:02:07.292 --> 00:02:08.250
who's been following me.

00:02:08.333 --> 00:02:09.250
-I will have you know

00:02:09.333 --> 00:02:11.333
that I am a perfectly
respectable size...

00:02:11.417 --> 00:02:12.250
for an Oompa Loompa.

00:02:12.333 --> 00:02:13.417
-An Oompa-what-now?

00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:15.250
-Allow me to refresh
your memory.

00:02:15.333 --> 00:02:16.250
[ethereal music]

00:02:16.333 --> 00:02:17.542
-Oh, I don't think
I wanna hear that.

00:02:17.625 --> 00:02:18.583
-Too late.

00:02:18.667 --> 00:02:19.833
I've started dancing now.

00:02:19.917 --> 00:02:21.750
Once we've started,
we can't stop.
