The release date of Wonka—a film that delves into the extraordinary story of the world’s beloved chocolate-maker—has been moved up.
Initially set for January 2024, the Timothée Chalamet-starrer will now hit local theaters on December 6, a week ahead of its release in the U.S.
The announcement comes alongside a new trailer showing Wonka fumbling around as a magician, inventor, and chocolate maker. Hugh Grant, who plays an Oompa-Loompa, also appears in the trailer singing part of the famous ditty associated with Oompa-Loompas.
Directed by Paul King (Paddington, Paddington 2), the film also stars Calah Lane, Keegan-Michael Key, Paterson Joseph, Matt Lucas, Mathew Baynton, Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, Jim Carter, and Olivia Colman.
Wonka, distributed in the Philippines by Warner Bros. Pictures, hits Philippine cinemas on December 6.
