'Wonka' Sequel Gets Sweet Update From Director Paul King: "We've Got a Story"

The fantastical world of pure imagination originating from Roald Dahl's book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory saw a new side with last year’s Wonka. Written and directed by Paul King, the movie was a prequel that told the origin story of the eccentric chocolatier, Willy Wonka.

“We're very early, I mean we've got about half of a draft. So, we've got a story that we like, and we know where we want to take him. I'll try to get some international travel in it . So maybe that's the only tease I'll give. But hopefully, I'll get some air miles off this one.” “There’s an awful lot more Wonka story that we have that we would like to tell. It’s not like Dune: Part One where you go, 'This is what’s happening in Part Two.' Hopefully, it works exquisitely as a stand-alone movie. But I would definitely like to do more. And I’d like to spend more time in this world, and meet some more Oompa Loompas."
