Movie trailers



Literally can't tell if the two guys with blonde hair but different haircuts are the same guy or different characters?
 
I think the same guy, but at different times? He probably got in trouble for being an actual mentor instead of a spectacle maker.

Is this a prequel?
 
Oh look, a prequel.

I watched the movies and was mildly entertained, IIRC.

The premise seemed well-served by the originals - not exactly screaming out for an origin story.
 
We got a really long trailer for the new Wes Anderson film, but not the trailers for The Marvels or Indiana Jones which would have seemed more appropriate.
 
We got the flash, fast x and Oppenheimer.

All of which can wait till they are on sky, I don't plan on going to the cinema too often.
 
There's a lot of complaining that Wonka seems kind of nice and doesn't have the edge of the Wilder version, but this is a prequel so maybe it'll actually show how he develops that edge. Like maybe the young girl (I assume she's his adopted daughter?) is brutally murdered by the chocolate mob and the movie ends with him saying "I'M BITTER NOW!"

My only complaint is that with the casting of Chalamet and Hugh Grant it looks like an SNL skit that was made into a movie.

Thankfully, it's a prequel because if they tried to remake the original story again, I think there would be much more pushback, so that's a smart move. Although maybe if this film is a hit, they'll do it next. I did get the feeling that Chalamet was overacting at being eccentric, but it's a trailer, so I can't really judge it too harshly YET. Prequel or not, he's going to get compared to Wilder, and that's a high bar to aspire to.
