First Trailer, Poster, and High-Quality Images For Wonka Are Released

Posted in: Movies, Warner Bros | Tagged: Warner Bros, Wonka

The first trailer, poster, and high-quality images for Warner Bros. other Christmas musical, Wonka, have been released.

During the Warner Bros. presentation at CinemaCon, they showed off two the trailer for both of the big musicals the studio is releasing this holiday season. We got the first trailer for the remake of The Color Purple recently, and now we have the trailer, the same one we saw back in April, it looks like, for Wonka as well, which is a film that has a giant question mark over the top of it. We also got a poster as well.

If there were a movie that is coming out this year where someone will throw out the “Who asked for this” question, it would be Wonka. So far, the social media reactions are looking a bit mixed, which isn’t that surprising. The holiday season for 2023 is much like the summer in that there is very little room for error when you have a ton of other options. That means you can’t be mediocre, and Wonka has a very good chance of being mediocre, and that means it has an even greater chance of getting lost in the holiday box office insanity.

Based on the extraordinary character at the center of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Roald Dahl’s most iconic children’s book and one of the best-selling children’s books of all time, Wonka tells the wondrous story of how the world’s greatest inventor, magician and chocolate-maker became the beloved Willy Wonka we know today.
