But what was Willy doing before?
In the movie "Wonka" we will find out what Willy was doing before he opened the most famous chocolate factory.
The story of Willy Wonka, the eccentric owner of the factory chocolate, was published in 1964 by the British writer Roald Dahl. It was a great success and in 1971 the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was released, in which Willy was portrayed by the unforgettable Gene Wilder. The film was quickly included in the "cult" list and it took a long time, 34 years to be exact, for someone to decide to deal with the story again. It was none other than Tim Burton who directed Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in which Willy was portrayed by Johnny Depp. And then the question arose, how to proceed, or whether it is possible to "beg" something else from the story.
Of course it is. If nothing else, following the example of Star Wars, Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, Batman, Superman and a whole range of other stories, it is possible to think of a so-called "prequel", that is, a story that happened before the one in the film or book. And that's exactly what they will do. The movie titled Wonka is scheduled to be released on 17th. March 2023, will be about young Willy Wonka and his adventures before opening the most famous chocolate factory. Director Paul King (Paddington) and producer David Heyman (Harry Potter) will be behind the film, but we will learn more in the coming months and year.
