Wonka debuts on premium digital platforms in the UK and Ireland on January 22nd and on 4K UHD Blu-ray from March 1st (Ireland) to March 4th (UK).
Based on the extraordinary, iconic character at the centre of Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, one of the best-selling children’s books of all time, Wonka tells the wondrous story of how a young chocolate maker, armed with nothing but a hatful of dreams, manages to change the world, one delectable bite at a time.
Starring Timothée Chalamet in the title role, this irresistibly vivid and inventive big-screen spectacle introduces audiences to a young Willy Wonka as he becomes the world’s greatest inventor, magician and chocolate maker. Neil Baker, editor-in-chief at Cinerama, said, “Wonka is as sweet as a snozzberry and as decadently delicious as a scrumdiddlyumptious; a sugar-coated treat,” while Calum Cooper, lead Cinerama writer, called Wonka “a sugar rush of ingenuity, beauty and charm.”
Starring alongside Chalamet are Calah Lane, Emmy and Peabody Award winner Keegan-Michael Key, Paterson Joseph, Matt Lucas, Mathew Baynton, Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, Jim Carter, with Oscar winner Olivia Colman, and Hugh Grant.
