Movies of a teenage Timothée Chalamet, or ought to I say Lil’ Timmy Tim, have been circulating for years on YouTube with tens of millions of views. Wonka director Paul King was effectively conscious of those movies and informed Rolling Stone that they performed a component in Chalamet touchdown the main function.
Paul King stated that Timothée Chalamet didn’t even should audition for Wonka. “It was a straight provide as a result of he’s nice and he was the one particular person in my thoughts who might do it,” King stated. “However as a result of he’s Timothée Chalamet and his life is so absurd, his highschool musical performances are on YouTube and have tons of of hundreds of views. So I knew from stanning for Timmy Chalamet that he might sing and dance very well.“

The lately launched trailer for Wonka set the stage for what Paul King calls a “correct” musical that pays homage to the “golden age of MGM musicals.“ However that doesn’t imply that the movie is missing the darker facet present in Roald Dahl’s novels. “Actually, I attempted to have darker characters than [what] you’d discover in a ‘Paddington’ film, for instance,” King stated. “It’s a crueler world and it’s a meaner world that Willy Wonka finds himself in as a result of that’s the form of metropolis that Charlie grows up in. In contrast to the ‘Paddington’world, not everybody is good in a Roald Dahl world. I undoubtedly obtained to play with these grotesque concepts, however I hope to not harm a technology of kids.“
