Wonka - Sept. 26

After years of exploring the world for the best chocolate recipes, Willy WONKA (Timothée Chalamet) decides to try to sell his chocolate in the Gallerie Gourmet, alongside legendary chocolatiers Slugworth (Paterson Joseph), Prodnose (Matt Lucas), and Fickelgruber (Matthew Baynton). But Wonka loses all of his money on his first day in town and ends up deep in debt to deceitful, mean-spirited laundress Mrs. Scrubbit (Olivia Colman). With the help of his fellow laundry workers -- young orphan Noodle (Calah Lane), former accountant Abacus Crunch (Jim Carter), wannabe comedian Larry Chucklesworth (Rich Fulcher), former telephone operator Lottie Bell (Rakhee Thakrar), and Piper Benz (Natasha Rothwell) -- Wonka finds a way to make his dreams come true. But he'll need to outsmart the greedy chocolatiers and the chocoholic police chief (Keegan-Michael Key).
