Directed by (), produced by (Harry Potter), written by paul king, starring Olivia Coleman, and Cara Lane will be officially released on December 8th.


The film is a prequel to Wonka, a young inventor who owns the world’s most famous chocolate factory, and his wonderful adventure before opening the chocolate factory.



Fairy tales for adults


The protagonist of this film is willy wonka, a chocolate magician from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the masterpiece of British children’s literature writers. He brought a wonderful and interesting fairy tale.



The young and lively Wonka is not only full of imaginative ideas, but also has extraordinary chocolate making skills. However, such talent has attracted the envy of the "chocolate gang" in the town. They colluded with the evil sheriff and tried every means to prevent Wonka from opening his own chocolate shop. But in the end, the sunny chocolate magician released the mystery of chocolate with his mother’s blessing and changed the world with the power of dreams.



The eccentric Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is familiar to most audiences, but his mysterious past is still little known. Why candy is his dream job and how he built his own chocolate empire will be explained in this prequel Wonka.


In addition, there are many fairy-tale visual effects in the film, the most striking of which is the iconic chocolate cherry tree in the film. In the film, Wonka scatters chocolate candy under the pink cherry tree, which is fantastic, just like a fairy tale fairyland. The plot and story structure are not complicated, and the protagonist Wonka’s purpose is also simple, that is, to share his chocolate with the world. The upright and the villain in the film are clear at a glance, and the simple and direct binary opposition saves the audience the trouble to guess.



If Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a dark chocolate, Wonka is like a piece of milk chocolate, silky and filled with marshmallows.


Sweet tea or Depp, Wonka, who do you pick more?


In the fairy tale world of Wonka, willy wonka, the hero, is like a magical chocolate inventor. He can take out all kinds of ingredients from his tall gentleman hat, and the chocolate making treasure chest he carries with him can make candy that surprises everyone.


Compared with Wonka, a neurotic genius portrayed in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in 2005, Wonka played by Sweet Tea is more grounded and more friendly to friends and strangers. It is inevitable that these two popular Hollywood actors of different ages will be compared when they play the same role.




Sweet Tea plays Wonka at the age of 26, and it is indeed more "young and beautiful" than Depp, who was 42 years old at the time of shooting. At present, we can see that the young Wonka is really sweet and lovely in the trailer released, but it is precisely because of his "sweetness" that many viewers are worried. After all, Wonka’s personality is not "sweet".


Wonka’s personality is very strange and contradictory. Wonka played by Depp is endowed with strange and funny characteristics and is called a stone freak by film critics. However, the director still recognized Wonka, a sweet tea version, and thought it was a very lucky encounter and cooperation.



The director once said in an interview, "I really don’t think there are many people who can play this role." Willy wonka’s manic, naughty and mysterious energy can be found in sweet tea. He is also excellent in singing and dancing. He has the voice of an angel.


In the film, there are also old players who join us. They are like icing on chocolate, adding a lot of color to the film and contributing amazing performances. The Opalempa played by hugh grant exudes a funny smell, and the dwarf dance is unforgettable. There is also the church priest played by Rowan Atkinson, who is greedy and cute. Even if he doesn’t deliberately make fun, his picture really makes people laugh. Olivia Coleman, the double heroine of Oscar and Golden Globe Award, is also a very interesting villain, a character full of fairy tale texture.


This is a fairy tale for adults. Wonka makes people escape from the cage of life temporarily with extremely infectious emotions, and makes people immersed in this dream that they don’t want to escape. This winter, let’s go to the cinema for a cup of warm hot chocolate!
