While the term Hollywood still refers to one particular neighborhood in Los Angeles, it was about a hundred years ago when it started becoming an encompassing metonym for the American movie industry itself. Hollywood directors are practically synonymous with western cinema. Paddington‘s Paul King directs and co-wrote the screenplay with Simon Farnaby. Additional stars include Natasha Rothwell (White Lotus), Rich Fulcher (Marriage Story), Rakhee Thakrar (Sex Education), Tom Davis ( Paddington 2), and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith ( Zack Snyder’s Justice League).

Joining Timothee Chalament in the fantasy film are Calah Lane ( The Day Shall Come), Emmy winner Keegan-Michael Key (Schmigadoon), Paterson Joseph ( Noughts + Crosses), Matt Lucas (Paddington), Mathew Baynton ( The Wrong Mans), Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins ( The Shape of Water), Rowan Atkinson ( Johnny English), Jim Carter ( Downton Abbey), and Oscar winner Olivia Colman ( The Favourite). Oscar nominee Timothee Chalamet ( Call Me By Your Name) charms his way through the trailer onto 2023 must-see movie lists by transforming into a young man with a huge imagination and the courage to take on the chocolate cartel. Pictures’ official Wonka trailer reveals how Willy became Wonka…which makes much more sense after you’ve watched the trailer.
