A candy-starved world demands a new Willy Wonka from Paddington's Paul King
It has been almost 13 long years since Tim Burton’s Charlie And The Chocolate Factory needlessly updated a beloved kids movie, and Warner Bros. has apparently decided that it’s now time for yet another update to the classic tale of a boy who gets rewarded for really liking candy—but not liking it so much that it’s weird. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Paddington director Paul King is in talks to direct the new version of the well-told story, which is apparently called Willy Wonka to differentiate it from Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory and Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. (The next remake will just be called Charlie.)
