Timothee Chalamet Looks Cool in a Lavender Latex Outfit for 'Wonka' Premiere in Tokyo

Timothée Chalamet is stepping out for lunch amid his busy schedule!

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Every fan of “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” (1971) loves the scene where Gene Wilder, as the mystical candy maker, takes his guests on a psychedelic tunnel ride, zooming through the bowels of the Chocolate Factory as he chants a little verse (“There’s no earthly way of knowing, which direction we are going…”), getting angrier and more hysterical by the second. Wilder’s Wonka was a sweetheart, but he had a hidden maniacal side. And in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” Tim Burton’s majestically wacked 2005 remake, Johnny Depp, then at the apex of his movie stardom, went full Depp, playing Wonka like some louche vampiristic cross between Anna Wintour and Michael Jackson.

You might not be able to tell it from the trailers but Wonka, the latest movie inspired by Roald Dahl‘s classic 1964 children’s story “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” is, make no mistake about it, a full-on movie musical that I found to be more in the tradition of ’60s-era films like Oliver, Dr. Dolittle, Albert Finney’s Scrooge — basically a throwback to that kind of feel-good musical confection designed to be released during the year’s end.

Timothée Chalamet didn’t realise at the time, but his high school singing performances ended up forming his audition for the lead role of Wonka.

Timothée Chalamet is revealing how his new movie Wonka relates to 1971′s Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.

Timothee Chalamet showed off his one-of-a-kind sense of style while attending the premiere for his new movie Wonka at Cinema UCG Normandie on Friday (December 1) in Paris, France.

Timothée Chalamet has said that he didn’t reach out to Johnny Depp for advice before playing Wonka.Depp starred as the eccentric chocolatier in 2005’s Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, which was directed by Tim Burton and served as the second film adaptation of Roald Dahl’s beloved children’s novel, following 1971’s musical Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, starring the late Gene Wilder.On Tuesday (November 28), at London premiere of Wonka, Chalamet was asked by E! News if he spoke to Depp about the role. And while he said he didn’t, the 27-year-old actor did offer some praise to Burton’s take on the story.“[Charlie and the Chocolate Factory] came out when I was about 10 or 11 years old.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Timothée Chalamet’s highly-anticipated “Charlie and the Charlie Factory” prequel musical “Wonka” has finally been unveiled to critics and entertainment journalists, and the first reactions are calling it a “winning confection” and “an instant holiday classic.” “Wonka,” directed by “Paddington” and “Paddington 2” filmmaker Paul King, casts Chalamet as a younger iteration of the famous chocolatier. The film is set years before Wonka opens his world-renowned chocolate factory and follows the young man as he fights to open his first shop. The supporting cast includes Calah Lane, Keegan-Michael Key, Matt Lucas, Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, Olivia Colman and Hugh Grant.

Warner Bros & Heyday Films’ Wonka rolled out the red carpet in London this evening for the world premiere of the feature musical.

Ellise Shafer “Wonka” director Paul King has been open about what drew him to cast Timothée Chalamet as a young version of the whimsical chocolatier: his YouTube videos from when he was in high school. Any Chalamet fan knows that several videos exist online of the actor singing and dancing pre-fame, including a rap song devoted to the art of statistics and a passionate talent show performance of Nicki Minaj’s “Roman’s Revenge.” In an interview with Rolling Stone in July, King admitted that watching the videos was all he needed to cast Chalamet.

Timothée Chalamet has a perfect puzzle for you. The 27-year-old star of the upcoming “Wonka” film serenaded his Golden Globe-winning co-star Hugh Grant with the “Oompa Loompa” song Tuesday at the Tokyo premiere of the movie.

Ellise Shafer For Timothée Chalamet, starring in “Wonka” as the titular eccentric chocolatier is still the stuff of pure imagination. At the film’s Tokyo premiere on Monday night, Chalamet donned a purple Prada jumpsuit and joined co-star Hugh Grant — who plays an Oompa-Loompa named Lofty — on stage to say a few words about what the role means to him.

Chalamet then performed the choreography from Sivan’s song ‘Got Me Started’, which ends with him pulling his pants down and revealing his bright red underwear.After appearing to the woman in hospital several times, Chalamet is joined by all three members of boygenius – the trio of Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, Julien Baker.
