Timothee Chalamet, the man with hair more luscious than a field of daffodils under a rainbow, is strutting his vocal cords like a peacock in the latest teaser trailer for his upcoming flick, “Wonka.”
This 27-year-old heartthrob, famous for making fans swoon in “Call Me By Your Name,” is ready to take on the role of Willy Wonka himself. Yes, the candy man with a top hat and a heart full of sugar! But this time, it’s an origin story. We’re diving deep into the cocoa-scented secrets of how this whimsical character from Roald Dahl’s magical mind opened his legendary chocolate emporium.
In a teaser dropped on a fine Monday (November 13), our boy Timothee unveils his hidden talent – crooning. That’s right, he’s serenading us with Willy’s iconic tune, “Pure Imagination.” It’s the world’s first-ever taste of Timothee’s vocal prowess, and it’s as sweet as a golden ticket!
This tantalizing teaser also gives us a glimpse of Willy’s mother, played by the wonderful Sally Hawkins. She’s there to cheer on her boy, and in the background, Timothee’s voice carries us away on a chocolate river of dreams.
The supporting cast is a mixed bag of hilarity and talent, with Peter Joseph, Rich Fulcher, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Calah Lane, Colin O’Brien, Rahkee Thakrar, Ellie White, Murray McArthur, and Tracy Ifeachor all onboard. But the real kicker? Hugh Grant is stepping into the pint-sized shoes of an Oompa Loompa! It’s an eyebrow-raising casting choice that’s sparked more debate than whether to eat a snozzberry or not.
So, mark your calendars for December 15, because that’s when “Wonka” unleashes its sugary spectacle on the silver screen.
