I think the best adult Wonka would be Ryan Gosling, if the intent is to do some Gene Wilder style stuff again. Has Jeremy Strong done any extrovert parts? But I see it would work if Jeremy played the son of a totally insane Willy Wonka played by someone like Christopher Walken, and they have a weird dinamic where he wants to be the successor while Wonka announces the chocolate ticket thing to find the next CEO

Oh God I was liking the critique on the movies and Hollywood/Corporations itself but the man brought "wokeness" into it. Swear to God, people that think like this call everything woke including if they have a single gay/trans character in a sea of straight characters. The Right is out here legitimately banning Holocaust books and Black History books and saying they're woke while even Trump (who is a dick head) calls out that the word woke is being overused. Corporations do whatever they can to make money. I think the overworked and underpaid employees are a more important topic than them putting a character to satisfy a certain group. No? We have to start a stupid culture war? Awesome

I can't get over the fact that wonka discovered the oompa loompas in the trailer. In the books, he doesn't discover the oompa loompas until he starts the company, perfects his craft, and then shuts it down for years due to spies. If he has the oompa loompas since the start, it breaks the whole timeline of the books. Him shutting down the factory and firing everyone was the main reason why people were so excited, because nobody had seen inside the factory for years. Curiosity was powerful.

As a general rule, you should expect an adaptation to change some things. This can mean rewriting the original backstory, character motivations, etc. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, because sometimes changes work really well for the kind of story the movie is going for. I'm not talking about Wonka specifically, just in general. I'll need to see more about this movie before I can form any real opinions on it.

I saw it as a child trapped in an old body. The viciousness in my peers from 1969 well into young adulthood, it was obvious to see that children are vicious. My Mom would say stupid things like "They're just jealous." Sure, Mom. My baby was just learning how to walk, when my sister brought her kid to my home; he was exactly 9mos older than my baby. Every time she tried to hug her cousin, he pushed her away/down...HARD. My sister and her best friend thought it was funny. Would it be funny if I did that to HIM? (Like Wonka would?) Finally, I threw them out. He saw her trying to walk and to get balance her little hands were on the floor and that little prick FLEW from the hallway to come over and try to stomp her hands. I lifted him by the back of his jacket--hoping that I got some hair in it--and literally threw him at my sister. "Not so funny now, is it?" (Something Wonka would say, I'm sure.) That was the last time we saw them till they were about 10yo. He was a much nicer kid by that time. Kids are nasty. Wonka was operating on their level.

Maybe a movie showing Wonka as kid friendly and idealistic would work... if it was a movie about the slow change of heart and mind into an ideal self interest, a rejection of the world that wasn't as fantastical as he wanted, and a withdrawal into his factory, where he could continue being the "dreamer of dreams."

I firmly believe that Willy Wonka has to be a little insane and evil. He's the antagonist and arguably the villain for most of the story, and Charlie serves as kind of a Final Girl as Wonka slowly picks off the children while their parents watch in horror. Not that he needs to be completely irredeemable or totally evil, but just of enough to be kind of scary and unnerving whenever he's onscreen.

If anything, wouldn't Hugh Grant make sense AS Willy Wonka? Like, he's actually around the age that Dahl clearly intended the character to be, and he's an incredibly charming guy who can absolutely pull off that sense of whimsy while also having a somewhat sinister edge. Making him an oompa-loompa is just a really strange choice, in my opinion.

I feel like one of the main issues nobody addresses about the 'whimsy' aspect of the Wonka character is that, while yes, Wonka can be whimsical, his primary and most defining feature is his eccentricity. Eccentric characters stand out for how they express their emotions, not the emotions they feel. When Wonka is whimsical, he's doing it in a cheeky, almost cruel fashion, like he's in on a joke nobody else gets. Chalomet's performance is such a blasé take on the character because it removes that eccentricity entirely, turning Wonka from the somewhat twisted character he is into another carbon-copy 'informed weirdo' with absolutely nothing under the surface. It's like they wanted to make the character as appealing as possible and just gave us a hyped-up dudebro in a weird suit whose only inflections are 'loud' and 'quiet.' Wonka *should* feel a little off-putting and regularly use an unnatural range of tones and pitches in his speech. He's just that kind of guy. Tl/dr: Wonka should be weird and Chalomet can't play eccentricity to save his life.

How stupid it was that the kids had to listen to the adults and go to school, do their homework, be kind and respectful when they could just jump off the boat and run (swim) away with the funny silly chocolate mermaids. Tale of chocolate lagoons, sprinkle geysers, donut floaties and candy snorkles. A child finally breaks away from their mother’s firm grip to jump into the river, *all* of the mermaids following suit, jumping after them and dragging the child under the melted chocolate. The boat leaves the scene with the Oopma Loomas throwing nets and spears into the water, with Wonka saying “Don’t worry, they’ll catch your child soon!” Dammit.

Gene Wilder really was the perfect casting for Willy Wonka. He makes him out like a mad magician. He's absolutely a genius, and he's a reclusive misanthrope. It's what sells the magic of the movie, he is the kind of guy who would mix his chocolate in a fanciful way like a waterfall in a room made entirely out of candy. Willy Wonka should be more than a little bit unhinged, or else none of the magic of it tracks at all. No normal person would do the things Wonka does, so Wonka cannot be normal, he can't even be SLIGHTLY unhinged, he has to be a complete madman who's very good at hiding it.

The thing is, anyone who's ever read Roald Dahl's adult fiction has some idea of how nasty and meanspirited he could *_really_* be. It's just when that's been diluted with the fun and whimsy of his children's literature, it makes for a very compelling tonal blend that cuts through the usual saccharine fare and made those stories so popular.

Dahl nails it in a way: You have to take Wonka sharper. Take him to the edge. I think he under estimated the extent to which, especially for a younger audience member, Wilder brought a serious and scary aspect to Wonka. The boat scene is genuinely terrifying. The way he hits the girls, and shows no human empathy, and has this tremendous capacity for rage with Charlie at the end is vital. Timmy boy is very, very, very unlikely to bring that. He can't crawl down someone's throat with the power of his temper and strangle their soul. Wilder could.

Any fan of Roald Dahl knows that whimsy and horror goes hand-in-hand. Matilda was harmless if you ignore the torture box on school grounds, The Witches has a fun adventure when adult women aren't clawing a boy's mouth open to turn him into an animal. The BFG? James and the Giant Peach? Every story he's made is creepy, it teaches lessons through disturbing actions and characters. I know he rolled in his grave after that trailer came out.

Personally I always saw Wonka in a similar vain to how I saw Yubaba the bathhouse owner from Spirited away. Although Yubaba is a lot more crotchety. They’re both antagonists who are not to be defeated necessarily but to be overcome. They're pragmatic, callous business owners. They’re magical tricksters who won’t think twice about crushing anyone who would harm what’s theirs but at the very least will stick to the bargain made with the protagonists. They’re not punished at the end for their actions but you don’t really care that they are anyway because you recognize that they're at least fair (Not to their workers but to the protagonists)

One thing that really bothers me about a young Wonka is that being on the older side was a fundamental part of Wonkas character, he locked himself away and fully endulged in his fantasy land for so long that he has become a man child that is only interested in his world and doesn't care at all how the otside world is doing. He is the kind of person who could help people like charlies family, but instead chose to be the person that will fire thousands of employes, likely creating mass poverty himself instead. Him beeing older is important for this. First of all it creates an obvious contrast since it is unusual for an old man to be so child like but most importantly it is important because it makes him more guilty of his own actions. As a young man, like he is in the new movie all his mistakes are alot more exusable but as an experienced entrepreneur, he should have known better, so it really highlights his apathy for his fellow humans.

like all chocolate factory owners, willy wonka is a reprehensible monster who hoards the wealth he earned off the backs of slave labor like a repulsive bloated dragon while hiding the reality of his monstrous actions behind the sugary nature of his product. There were clips circulating on TikTok from a stage production of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory that kept the songs from the Wilder film but explicitly and unambiguously depicted the unworthy children being violently killed while their parents were forced to watch; quite memorably Wonka instructs an Oompa Loompa to shoot a blow dart at the inflated Violet Beauregard after she is rolled away; there is a loud bang and splattering sound, and her father returns to stage covered in blue viscera and intestines, clutching his daughters severed leg. “She EXPLODED” he screams in horror, prompting Wonka to make a quip. “SHE EXPLODED!!” he shrieks again, spitting chunks of his daughter’s innards out, his mind utterly destroyed from the death of his child, prompting another quip. He repeats the horrifying fact again, and wonka commands an oompa loomla to fetch a shovel and bucket to scrape her remains up so he can FERMENT AND CONSUME IT AS ALCOHOL LATER. Now there are two schools of thought about this version of the play: some find it to be closer to the original vision of the author, and i can’t disagree. Roald Dahl despised children, was racist, and delighted in portraying all but the most submissive and quietly accommodating children as worthy of suffering and death. Where I differ from this school of thought is in the presumption that if the author’s vision is accurately portrayed, the show is de facto Good. I am of the school of thought that this production brought into sharp relief how sickeningly passively evil and unsympathetic Charlie Bucket is, as a character. Like the Germans who sat by, happy to watch their neighbors and friends shuttled to their doom to profit off their discarded possessions, Charlie watches without raising a fuss as unworthy children who dare to express their own desires are murdered. But for Charlie there is no Nuremberg, no, the little shit gets awarded the factory and becomes rich and powerful by virtue of not challenging the murder of his peers. Now add to this the apparently delighted new york theatre crowd recounting with delight how children were brought to every performance, and left well before the end screaming and sobbing, traumatized to the point that the theatre will forever be regarded as a place to be avoided, and I find myself both approving of the revolting portrayal of wonka, and condemning the production as an outright celebration of fascist cruelty. I will add that since any sense of satire was apparently lost on the audience as a whole, I will not entertain any defense of it on those grounds. Satire of fascism that is only recognizable to the already antifascist is worthless, and usually functions as especially insidious propaganda, as it delights and affirms the fascists while making those who claim to oppose fascism believe that it is not only secretly on their side, but that they are cleverer and more worthy for knowing that the explicitly enthusiastic advertisement for fascism is actually (very quietly) mocking fascists. “How do they not understand that it’s SATIRE” they’ll snark, as a handsome and badass character gets everything they want and all opposition is killed while whining effeminately. How indeed. Tl;dr wonka is trash, dahl is trash, that violent broadway revival that existed to horrify children and delight nasty theater millennials is trash, you are probably trash and so am i. get runned over by an chevy everybdoy

Rather than a prequel, I would have loved to have seen a film exploring Charlie stepping into the role of Wonka, because he's not just taking over the factory he's taking the brand and image of Wonka. Maybe it's just me, but seeing a kid from poverty trying to take on the role of Wonka might be interesting, especially if he doesn't meet the worlds expectations of the eccentric chocolate genius. How does Charlie, after Wonka's departure, fill those shoes? I know Willy Wonka is considered the main character by many, and he's also the more recognisable face from the franchise, but Charlie is actually the main and titular character after all. (I haven't read the second book so idk what happens, but after the explanation I heard in this video, I wouldn't even consider using it as material for a sequel unless it wasn't for a new audience and was only for fans of the original books personally.)

I saw something online that I think describes the new Wonka movie exactly well. They hired a rabbit to play the role of a hare; for people who don't get the metaphor, hares are to rabbits like what coyotes are to dogs; not exactly feral, but as you get closer it gets clearer that something is wrong here. Gene Wilder's Wonka and Johnny Depp's Wonka, despite being two very different Wonkas, they're both different kinds of unhinged. Wilder's was a more of mad scientist while Depp's was more like the Michael Jackson of the candy world. They emit a kind of unnerving energy, that something is quite off about them but you can't quite tell what. From what we see so far with Timothy Chalomet, I don't really feel that kind of nervousness. If I had to pick an actor who could that sort of unnerving energy while also doing the spectacular showmanship of it, I would pick either Bo Burnham or Chris Fleming; which, while not being really renowned actors, but I feel like with how they each respectively are a bit unhinged the way they articulate and dictate.

He’s literally a factory owner running off slave labour in the middle of a depression set around the early 1900s I would say. He’s meant to be a madman in a bleak setting, and while his factory breaks the setting, him as a person fits in there perfectly, the whimsy as a facade to hide that he’s just another factory owner. It’s such a British story, so why every movie is American and whimsical is beyond me

Agreed I think an issue is that people are stuck on Wilder’s portrayal of Wonka as cynical and world weary, which WORKS. But I think a younger Wonka being starry-eyed and naïve IS understandable. It wouldn’t make sense for him to be so jaded from the very start. I think the villains’ actions were too personal for him to be so jaded yet, as they can be dismissed as a couple of bad apples at the top. What a sequel needs is for him to really discover that human rottenness runs deeper than the people who are outright villains. He needs to learn that the problems are the systems those villains put in place and the apathetic MASSES who are willing to look the other way for their own gratification. I think that movie would be too bleak to ever be made honestly though.

He has a moment in where he talks about “changing the world”…but when we see him older it could well be that he TRIED and FAILED. And so he did the next best thing: retreat into a fantastical Eden of his own design where he and his subjects could make candy in peace. And when he gives his tour of the chocolate factory he is acutely exposed to the slice of humanity that lead him to shutting himself off from it in the first place. The fact that they’re CHILDREN makes it WORSE. The people of the future are being raised to be like THIS??? Yeah guess it was right to give up on humanity after all.

I think there’s one untapped aspect here that was glossed over: the Purpose for the Lottery. Wonka was trying to find a “worthy” heir to his factory, fortune, and secrets. Sure, morality tale, yeah, and he’s not meant to be relatable, but also, he’s trying to leave one of the kids holding the bag while he flees-or a more charitable version: he realizes someone like him cannot exist so he’s trying to make up for all the terrible things he’s done to become what he is.

I think a Wonka prequel could work, but you would need an INSANELY creative writer to pull it off. Mainly when it comes to the bizarre backstories he has. When it comes to Wonka's character, yes he should be a young adult brimming with creativity and determination to be the best at his craft, but at the same time, he NEEDS to have his negative traits on full display. Something like showing Wonka as an amazing prodigy, but also show him as a control freak who accepts nothing less than perfection.

He needs to grin cheerfully while handing out pink slips to his workers like he's giving them bonuses and they should be grateful. Then he should turn and skip to his office, humming cheerfully before calling security to remove the fired employees from the premises. And no, they're not allowed to collect their things. If they want their things, they'll need to dumpster dive later (until he gets the incinerator built and then... nope, that stuff's just gone). That's the image in my head that I have of Wonka. The very image of "we're a family" and "work should be fun!" but at the same time, he's working his employees to the bone and firing them for insignificant little things - often things they had no control over.

I don't think we're in a place in culture or history where one can have whimsy or any positive outlook towards the future that's not based solely on a power or success angle, and that in itself is depressing. Having that fact pointed out blatantly in reinterpretations such as this just makes it that much worse and adds to that cultural mental drain.

Oh yeah, so cringy and sappy. Also, Willy Wonka was note about Wonka, but about the children, it is a children story after all, showing all the different children and from which families they came. This is basically just recycling the Wonka name and chocolate making, the original story gets destroyed, nothing of the brilliance of Dahl is left. It feels empty and meaningless. I'm very sure it will fail because of it, because if there is one thing that makes more movie reboots fail today it is "NOT STICKING TO THE SOURCE MATERIAL" to adapt it to "MODERN AUDIENCES", so you basically destroy the essence of it. How absurd that is can be illustrated by doing a remake of the second world war, where of course Hitler is now a woman and the Nazis don't kill people, but just fight in online forums and outrage culture is now what the war used to be. Dear Hollywood producers: Stick to the good story that you are basing your completely unoriginal reboot on please! Because you can't write, we know that, you can't create original and interesting characters, we know that. You have to recycle, because you can't make an original interesting movie to begin with. So just stick to a good story without changing everything about it and you will make a decent good movie. But few listen, few even seem to know good from bad anymore. The audiences can though and that is why more movies fail today than ever before.

Gene Wilder is such a special performer. You can see discovery and plotting behind his eyes, there's always this sense of being tricked, and his whole presence is so embodied and curious. "What will he do next!?" is such a special element to him as an actor. He's so ALIVE. I always got the sense from him that he was a weird rich guy who was living his childhood dreams at the expense of everyone else. I also just think the music, especially "Pure Imagination" is so ominous and whimsical at the same time. He has a sense of drawing you in, wanting to look closer, to lean in and there's a scariness to it. It's such a complicated performance that's supported beautifully by the sounds in the world. There's something about Wonka that is funny and Gene Wilder is just a brilliant comedian, they need a comedian in the role, someone who really understands comedic timing in a physical way.

Speaking of disenfranchised people, one thing that I’ve hated ever since Burton’s take is how much Hollywood has stopped casting little people to play little people roles. Burton found *one guy* and multiplied him a bunch of times. Most studios just cgi an actor smaller. There are talented people who would be amazing in these roles that are pushed out for bigger, able bodied names. How many incredible talents like Peter Dinklage and Warwick Davis are out there and we don’t know them. And this applies to every disability Edit: I don’t think I explained my point clearly. My main point is how commodified disability is in Hollywood. It's often used as oscar bait or comedy or fantasy short hand. There are so many great stories and talents out there and it hurts to keep seeing them used that way over and over and over again. And the same way hollywood execs would rather throw hundreds of thousands of dollars are PR firms and software than pay their goddamn artists, Hollywood would rather slap a head onto a cgi body than take the time to write a story with genuine little person character On another note, Daniel Radcliffe or Elijah Wood would be incredible Wonkas. Two people who began as child actors, starring in extremely popular franchises, part of the massive corporate machine, and both of them have decided to become niche artists. Both incredibly smart, talented, and have played entertainingly unhinged characters. They have my vote

It is lacking that darker side to Wonka's personality, but I think at least in my mind that this is before Wonka was driven mad by being stabbed in the back by the employees he trusted and spending years alone in his factory living with that reality. This Wonka isn't a crazy old man yet, he's a young man with dreams to make the greatest factory the world has seen. Because of this he is more whimsical.

It's also that Wonka has become "hyperreal". Like, Wonka at first was a reference to something real (billionaire entrepreneurs), and was so conflicted and interesting because of it. But through pop culture osmosis he's become "hyperreal"; he doesn't refer to something real but only to himself. He's become "Willy Wonka" rather than "a character based on billionaires". And what kind of character is Wonka? He's a whimsical chocolate maker. Kind of what happened with Homer and Mr. Burns in the Simpsons. They turned from biting parodies on real things into toothless hyperreal characters that only have reference to themselves. CCK Philosophy has a great video on that, and I definitely see shades of it in this treatment of Wonka.

A man who cares more about his company than thousands of jobs/lives, who has altruistic dreams but doesn't care about any one person. This story is so so relevant. Would have loved to see them take it further that way seems like they are trying to make Wonka into the good guy. You're supposed to kinda hate him and be impressed/wowed by him. Charlie is the main character who is actually a good person, uncorrupted.

I think popular culture has already given us an excellent caricature of corporate capitalism: Max Shreck (Christopher Walken) of BATMAN RETURNS. Yes, he's technically a Tim Burton character and not a Batman character, but that doesn't make him any less compelling. In Daniel Waters's original screenplay especially, Max appears as multidimensional as a cartoon villain can possibly be. His only ambition in life is to make as much money as possible so that his family will be wealthy forever...but he's smart enough to understand that he can't be blatant in his ambitiousness. So he performs acts of virtue-signaling such as tossing free Christmas gifts to the people of Gotham City (which he reflects he's only doing because it was surplus merchandise he wouldn't have been able to sell anyway), and placing a pair of dollar bills in a Santa Claus's charity bucket for the TV news cameras to catch, making sure that the one everyone will see is a $50 bill and the one underneath is just a single. Most nefariously of all, Max wants to build a power plant so enormous that will monopolize all the electricity in the city, claiming that his only motivation is making sure that Gothamites will have all the electrical power they will ever need. Finally, he manipulates the city's political system in order the gain the leverage necessary to demand what he wants. At the same time, he's a "good guy" in that, unlike the movie's other villains, he harbors no desire for revenge and/or mass murder. Sadly, Max Shreck is at least as relevant a character now as he was in 1992. He's definitely more plausible than that other fictional energy tycoon, Montgomery Burns of "The Simpsons," who, despite being an outright crook and total misanthrope, benefits from everyone just looking the other way unless he does something REALLY heinous - and even then, he's always forgiven in the end.

Let us not forget Wonka played a huge role in Charlie’s family being impoverished and their town being a slum. Charlie’s grandpa had a job. But then Wonka fired everyone because of he was worried about his trade secrets being stolen (this is an entire argument about the merits and downfalls intellectual property and open source knowledge all on its own). Grandpa Joe was fired along with everyone else who lived in that town and everything went to shit (happens when coal mines get shut down irl all the time-whole towns suddenly unemployed). And then when Wonka DOES open his factory again, instead of hiring local and putting money back into the economy, he “hires” free labor from a race of small village people from Africa and pays them in coco beans (yikes). Does Wonka use this newfound freed overhead to lower his price of chocolates? No lmao. It’s still too expensive for a kid like Charlie to get other than for his birthday. And, of course, Wonka’s competition made it so cavities were on the rise and so William Bucket, Charlie’s dad, who worked at a toothpaste company was fired so his job could be replaced by an faster automated robot to keep up with sales (yes, this is an explicitly stated plot point in the 2005 movie). And somehow the take away from the 2005 movie is still that you should be good and don’t step a toe out of line despite greedy capitalists wringing you for every last cent you have to your name. 🙄

Mr. Wilder was simply too perfect for his role. He instantly interpreted Willy Wonka with surprising insight on human nature. He extracted from the script a jaded and skeptical millionaire - as rich as a modern billionaire basically - that went through the viscissitudes the corporate, business minded life can give you and someone that dealt with it by becoming eccentric, making a clear division between the cutthroat people in the industry and himself. Eventually he reached the peak as the factory owner of a widely known and appraised candy factory, and with it came the paranoia his life of climbing up the steps of capitalism taught him to have. He then isolated himself physically, and his eccentric nature took over the factory, creating a world of wonders, what is to him an oasis in the desert the world outside it is. Still, he can't change who he grew up to be, and so his character as a realistic factory owner infuses his eccentric and in this case wondrous persona and coalesces into the person we know as Willy Wonka. He saw Wonka as someone that has lived through a tough and dystopic world, shaped by it, molded by it and even managing to thrive within it but that wants to be something else, someone he saw himself being as a child and holding that vision of him with his dear life until he could finally let it free. But of course he couldn't protect that innocence and wonder perfectly, so he tried his best to recreate it and to try to do his best with whatever remained of it. That is how the contradictions within Old Wonka coexist so well together. At least that's how I interpret Old Wonka. I find it amazing how Gene Wilder managed to extract something like this from the story before acting it out. He read the depth that the character could have and it resonated with him, creating the amazing performance Old Wonka is.
