The new Willy Wonka prequel, simply titled Wonka, looks to be a movie celebrating the inherent positivity of imagination and the joy of cinematic escapism. Timothee Chalamet touched on this and more in a new interview with Vogue.
“In a time and climate of intense political rhetoric, when there’s so much bad news all the time, this is hopefully going to be a piece of chocolate,” Chalamet said. “To work on something that will have an uncynical young audience, that was just a big joy. That’s why I was drawn to it.”
