Warner Bros Pictures’ Wonka will make its streaming debut exclusively on HBO GO, Friday, March 8.
From Paul King, writer/director of the Paddington films, David Heyman, producer of Harry Potter, Gravity, Barbie, and Paddington, and producers Alexandra Derbyshire (the Paddington films, Jurassic World: Dominion) and Luke Kelly (Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical), 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, as he becomes the world’s greatest inventor, magician, and chocolate maker.
Simon Farnaby (Paddington 2) and 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, The Handmaiden, Oldboy), Oscar®-nominated production designer Nathan Crowley (Tenet, Dunkirk), editor Mark Everson (the Paddington films, Johnny English Strikes Again), Oscar®-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming (the Paddington films, The Dark Knight, Casino Royale, Topsy-Turvy), and composer Joby Talbot (the Sing films). Neil Hannon of the band The Divine Comedy is writing original songs for the film.
