King also hypes Chalamet's singing voice.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Wonka director Paul King explains why his upcoming moving starring Timothée Chalamet isn't a musical. Serving as a prequel to Roald Dahl's beloved Charlie and the Chocolate Factory book, Wonka stars Chalamet as the young candy-maker and chocolatier, chronicling one of his earliest adventures when he meets the Oompa Loompas.
"The Oompa Loompas sing a lot in the book, and Dahl always uses poetry. But I didn’t want it to just become a musical where people are singing dialogue to each other for no discernible reason. I felt like it was more like a movie with songs than a musical.”
