Netflix announces the all-star cast joining Kit Connor and Taika Waititi for the upcoming film including Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton, The Magic Faraway Tree), Charithra Chandran (Bridgerton, ONE PIECE), Samson Kayo (F1: The Movie, Bloods), Christopher Chung (Slow Horses, My Brilliant Career), with Kate Winslet (The Reader, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) and Helena Bonham Carter (One Life, Nolly).
Willy Wonka (Waititi) has spent the years since the Golden Ticket contest behind bars (not the chocolate kind) for the crime of turning a child into a blueberry. Having served his time, Wonka returns to his factory determined to add a little sweetness to a bitter world. But one thing stands in his way: teenager Charlie Paley (Connor) and his friends. Facing eviction, this next generation of “rotten” kids plot to break into the factory, nab a priceless Wonka Bar, and save their homes. But like many before them who enter the fantastical world of the factory, these kids are in for a bit more than they can chew…
Directed by Jared Stern (The LEGO Batman Movie, Green Eggs and Ham) and Elaine Bogan (Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia, Spirit Untamed), Charlie vs. the Chocolate Factory is produced by Academy-Award winner Aron Warner (Shrek), Timothy Yoo (Back to the Outback, Green Eggs and Ham) and executive produced by Taika Waititi.
