Grab your golden ticket - the chocolate factory is back in business with Timothée Chalamet at the helm! “Extra’s” Terri Seymour sat down with Timothée and Hugh Grant in London to talk “Wonka,” which Timothée calls the role of a lifetime. Hugh also chatted about playing an Oompa Loompa and doing some singing and dancing of his own! “Wonka” hits theaters December 15.

Tim is so eloquent and kind, for the love of chocolate cant think of one thing he has in common with a Kardashian.

A publicity stunt kylie

This looks so good, love hearing what the actors think and feel. Long time big fan of Hugh Grant and Timothee seems to be a delight.

Terri is such a great interviewer

really hope the film is as good as the trailer.

Absolument magnifique ❤❤

Wonka is prequel to first movie, not Johnny Depp's one.

[@sairaramjit1271]

Incredible film.. I was very impressed.

[@user-fy9wc5lw2w]

I think I know how Hugh should've explained it: Oompa Loompa Doompa-dee-doo. I've got some special news for you. Oompa Loompa Doompa-dee-dee. If you are wise you'll listen to me. I was surprised with the role I had. But I must say it's not that bad. I don't mind that they make me small. Though I'd realy like to be tall. (But that's not how it works in the film) Oompa Loompa Doompa-dee-day. I never wanted this role anyway. But I guess it'll have to do. Now I leave with an Oompa Loompa Doompa-dee-doo.

[@Nazaba09]

SUCH a good movie.

[@yosoykibbles]

that is how one does an interview! Wow!

[@ZanderGames1268]

I loveeee this movie

[@RavenousFallen]

It all reminds me of the video game ET. This role of Willy Wonka is so big that if it fails it could destroy his career and Warner Bros altogether.

[@barbarablue2571]

Hugh Grant had said how he hated play an oompa lompa. But really is very funny his work here

Mariah careys pure imagination remix is AMAZING!!!

[@Musicalnotes9678]

I hope Timmy is ok. He can’t seem to find his words as he has in the past 😞

[@lalotime]

I think he just doesn't care about the roles he has had. They just give him a ton of money and he does it. From what I hear he is a more classic Hollywood star. Wants roles that are more meaningful to him

[@Musicalnotes9678]

@@lalotimehe has always cared. He used to be eloquent quick descriptive and excited about his work and his costars. I hope he isn’t being negatively affected by the “company” he keeps. Now he seems slowed with generic statements, lacking his previous light. “Heartwarmed”? Hope he’s ok

[@debbiegarnsey6900]

I know what you mean. Maybe as he has become more successful he doesn't feel the need to try so hard

[@maylinjx]

Or he was just a bit tired that day, we all have days where we have more energy than others @@Musicalnotes9678

You can tell they’re sleepwalking through their enthusiasm for their project. The boredom pours out of them. Even after getting a cool 9 mill for this garbage

Miscast. Jeremy Allen White should have played Wonka. He looks exactly like Gene Wilder.

How? He's too old

[@delrey874]

@@corin5753 Jeremy is only 32. Not that much different from Chalamet (27)

WONKA REVIEW: C+ AT BEST. It was JUST OK, but I was ready to go home half way thru..THE kids were either asleep or very bored they didn't get it. The priest and his friends corrupt the police were corrupt shall I go on. Was not a feel-good movie but what's new

[@user-cy7yj9hy9e]

Why do they keep remaking lame movies? Just boring and stupid. The premise is even lame.

[@xalyssa._]

It’s a sequel

[@tangerinesarebetterthanora7060]

Isn't it a prequel?​@@xalyssa._
