First Trailer Out For "Wonka"... Hugh Grant is an Oompa Loompa?

The first trailer for "Wonka" dropped yesterday, featuring Timothee Chalamet as a young Willy Wonka.

 

 

Director Paul King calls it a "companion piece" to the 1971 classic "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory," starring Gene Wilder.

 

The best part of the trailer is EASILY the end, where we see Hugh Grant as an Oompa Loompa.  King cast him in that role for a very specific reason.

 

 

He says, quote, "So I was really just thinking about that character; somebody who could be a real [poop] . . . Because he's the funniest, most sarcastic [poop] I've ever met."

 

 

King also did the "Paddington" movies, and Hugh was the villain in "Paddington 2".
