I'm ngl I'm hype.

Paul King deserves the benefit of the doubt with respect to a premise I otherwise would have no interest in.

Hugh Grant as an Oompa-Loompa, though, is an immediate winner.

Right the ending made me chuckle.

i don't buy Timmy in that role

[flamingicecream]

Neither do I. Everyone else seems perfectly cast but Tim seems a little...flat?! We want true eccentricity for Wonka! He needs to be unhinged!

[ginainabottle]

based on the trailer alone, Idt he has the charisma nor the screen presence to pull this off. He does fine playing the skinny little weirdo but a role as demanding as this one clearly needs a powerful, fearless actor, which I think he's far from being. I do not get the hype around this kid at all.

[deerlike]

ia, he doesn't have the charisma and presence I'd expect of a young Wonka (i.e. a young Gene Wilder).

"Discover how Willy became...WONKA!"
