'Wonka' starring Timothee Chalamet promises to be a 'perfect holiday treat'

Are you in search of a feel-good movie to enjoy with your loved ones this holiday season?

"Wonka," starring Timothée Chalamet, is set to premiere in Philippine cinemas on December 6, a week ahead of the United States, making it a must-see pre-Christmas film.

As a prequel to “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” "Wonka" transports us back in time to when the enigmatic chocolate-maker Willy Wonka was just starting out, filled with hope to share his chocolate with the world.

In the movie, we also meet "Noodle," Willy’s friend played by Calah Lane; the iconic “Oompa Loompa,” portrayed by Hugh Grant; and other whimsical characters that add to the film's magic.

In a press release, director Paul King said that “Wonka” is “the perfect Christmas movie.”

“It’s like a great chocolate. It’s got a fun, colorful exterior and a warm, sweet center which will leave you with a delicious aftertaste! And while it would be great fun to scoff the whole box down on your own, you’re better off sharing it with your family and friends,” he added.

Embark on a journey into the world of chocolate starting December 6, and be sure not to miss “Wonka” in cinemas."
