Of the two musicals coming out in December, The Color Purple seems much more like a sure thing than Wonka. However, if there was any reason to have faith that Wonka will turn out all right, it's director Paul King.
King has made some of the best feel-good movies of the last decade and seems to know how to hit that soft spot we all have. It doesn't matter whether or not you were a fan of Paddington Bear as a kid; you walked out of those movies feeling the world was good even if, in the back of your mind, you know that it isn't. It takes work to make your audience completely forget how terrible the world is around them, and it very much seems like King is attempting to do that again with Wonka.
'Cher Monsieur Jeunet…'' Not the movie we expected to hear, but if anything, a black comedy that includes cannibalism, murder, and a group of underground vegetarian rebels in a post-apocalyptic world where grain is the currency being the source of homage for Wonka just made the film way more interesting.
