Wonka
Summary
Wonkadirector Paul King break a direct reference to Violet Beauregarde ’s chewing chewing gum from 1971’sWilly Wonka & the Chocolate Factory . The 2023 prequel to Roald Dahl’sCharlie and the Chocolate Factorysees King drawing inspiration from the 1971 master as its main distributor point of visual focussing . This includes the figure of the Oompa - Loompa ( Hugh Grant ) and the use of the birdcall " Pure Imagination " as a recurring motive , and sung by Timothée Chalamet ’s Willy Wonka near the closing of the movie .
In an interview withThe Hollywood Reporter , King talks about some oftheWonkareferencesfrom the 1971 movie that he wanted to flesh out . While ab initio discussing the classic Gene Wilder line " scraping that , reverse it " as a way to signal that Chalamet ’s Wonka will eventually become Wilder ’s version of the role , he also discourse how the Big Night Out Chocolate directly refers to Violet Beauregarde ’s three - course manducate gum in the original . match out what he said on the topic below :
It was n’t so much about recontextualizing the [ 1971 ] movie , but I sure enough need this to sit alongside that . So there ’s loads of niggling gestures that we use . Willy says , “ Scratch that , overturn it , ” which is a line that Gene Wilder has in the movie and I do n’t conceive it exists in the record book . And a mass of the movements … Because it ’s such a visual performance that Gene Wilder gives with the cane and all of a sudden hit a handrail when he ’s walking down the steps at the kickoff of “ Pure Imagination , ” we use all of that and lean into it . They ’re just small sensory faculty of , “ Oh yeah , do n’t forget that he ’s going to become that character . ” So there ’s probably a bunch of them . The Big Night Out Chocolate is a slight bit like the three - course of study meal in a spliff of chewing gum [ that Violet Beauregarde consume in the ‘ 71 plastic film ] . We were interested in the musical theme that a drinking chocolate could be a night on the township with 12 different drinks .
Wonka Celebrates the Legacy of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
WhileWonkais more implicated with drawing the origin of the titular chocolate maker ’s art , the film directly referencesWilly Wonka & the Chocolate Factoryon many occasions . Aside from the Oompa - Loompa designs and the utilization ofPure mental imagery , the film reinterpret many line from the original moving-picture show , straight off winking at it but also lionise the survive bequest the original has in the corporate resourcefulness of viewers . One of the more memorable line in the original 1971 film materialize near the picture ’s end , where Wilder ’s Wonka slash out at Charlie Bucket and Grandpa Joe , saying:“You get nothing ! You lose ! honorable day , sir ! "
The last part of the transmission line is said by Grant ’s Oompa Loompa after he fly the coop Wonka ’s maw . Another ingenious credit to the movie fall out when Willy Wonka is confronted bythe Chief of Police ( Keegan Michael - Key ) , who references the chocolatier as " the Candyman , " which call back to the Candyman birdcall occurring at the outset ofWilly Wonka & the Chocolate Factory . All of these here and now , including the Big Night Out Chocolate , reinterpret and expand what was introduced in the 1971 picture show while also celebrating its timeless legacy .
Timothée Chalamet is the third role player to depict Willy Wonka on the crowing screenland , with Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp also bringing the case to lifetime in the 1971 and 2005 adaptations ofCharlie and the Chocolate Factory , severally .
While it ’s unclear if there will be moreWonkainstallments after the prequel , its lineal reference to the 1971 original show King ’s erotic love for the source material that inspire the film , includingDahl ’s original bookand the movie that is still being look out by jillion of home worldwide each year . Should the dealership continue , there is still far more to explore beyond the volume and the 1971 movie , admit potentially exploring the lead up to his eventual introduction to Charlie and blow over of his chocolate factory .
