Although “Wonka” is barely simply now hitting theaters, it appears destined to change into a field workplace hit this vacation season. If all goes properly, director Paul King wish to make a sequel. Chatting with Complete Movie, the filmmaker cited Dahl’s obvious curiosity in telling extra tales with Willy Wonka, and King feels the identical manner:
“Dahl was undoubtedly inquisitive about taking Willy Wonka on. There’s drafts that did not actually go wherever, and there is a quick story. He did not actually write sequels, however this was the one e book the place he clearly felt there was extra within the tank there. There’s an terrible lot extra Wonka story that we have now that we wish to inform. It isn’t like ‘Dune: Half One,’ the place you go, ‘That is what’s taking place in Half Two.’ Hopefully it really works exquisitely as a stand-alone film. However I’d undoubtedly love to do extra. And I might prefer to spend extra time on this world, and meet some extra Oompa Loompas.”
There is a sequel e book referred to as “Charlie and the Nice Glass Elevator,” however that story picks up after the occasions of “Charlie and the Chocolate Manufacturing unit,” with Charlie Bucket and his household nonetheless adventuring with Wonka. Imagine it or not, that e book takes Charlie and Wonka to area, consists of Vernicious Knids as harmful aliens, and it is fairly the departure from the unique e book. So it is unlikely that the sequel would take a cue from Dahl’s follow-up e book, nevertheless it appears each King and Chalamet have an thought of what sort of tales they will inform.
In an interview with Leisure Tonight, King confirmed that “Wonka” takes place 25 years earlier than the story that we have seen unfold in “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Manufacturing unit.” Responding to a crimson carpet query, King remarked, “It is set 25 years earlier than the manufacturing facility — however such as you mentioned, there’s 25 years and many extra issues that occur to Willy Wonka.” So it is protected to imagine that it is inside these 25 years that the sequel to “Wonka” could be set, slightly than leaping to a brand new adaptation of “Charlie and the Chocolate Manufacturing unit.”
