Timothée as Wonka - first picture

Whacking off Willy’s Weinet

Kill your fat self, OP.

What a stupid thing to actually exist.

Seriously, whose cock is he sucking?

I think you meant to say kill him with fire.

Arrest everyone involved in making this movie!

R5, you must be new here.

Wonkathée.

So what does this mean for his career?

I hope this bombs. It's such a stupid idea for a movie.

I really like Timothée. Who knows, he might be wonderful.

The Candy Twink can

Cause he mixes it with love

And makes the world taste good!

How is he getting all this work??

Another version!?

The first one was perfect. Stop it!

Looks more like a Dickens character

Bwahahaha.

This is so fucking wrong. Chalamet sucks.

Isn't Mr Wonka meant to be older and fatter? Timmy looks creepy in that shot

He looks OK, costume is fine….but what can they do to make this story ineresting after two movies?

Aren’t there other decent novels out there?

At first I thought this was a stupid idea as well, but now that they revealed it will have songs by Neil Hannon (aka The Divine Comedy), I can't wait to see it. He's a genius, and perfect for this.

Sample Neil Hannon song for those not familiar with his work:

This looks like a biopic of Gene Wilder while making the original Willy Wonka in 1970. In fact the idea of a Wilder biopic is at this point, much more interesting and less 'done to death' than another take on Dahls book!

[quote] "Chalamet sucks."

Of course he does. How else do you think he got this part, R17?

Is he playing an emaciated rodent?

Is it going to be a Wonka version or “The Joker”?

Remaking this is like remaking The Wizard of Oz. DOA.

Is Armie in this? Love him.

R23 As he is known for a big dong maybe people would prefer to suck him.

Please don’t try topping the 1971 Gene Wilder ‘Wonka’ film again. The ultimate version has been already been done, and the other remake with Johnny Depp was a disaster. Cancel this shit and let us enjoy the real one.

R27 Are you a Charmie? It seems they are the only ones left who still love Armie.

Has there ever been a remake that was better than the original ? I havent even seen the Depp version . I hated it from the pics released beforehand. I hate Depp anyway so it wasnt a stretch but still,the idea of a charming,magical movie been regurgitated over and over is more than enough reason to hate.

R34 Do you dislike Timothee too?

R28 LOL no he isn't

This will be box office poison just like all his other films to date.

The Depp version is simply dreadful.

This is an origin, you fat whores.

R35 I have no real idea who he even is. Ive not seen his movie that made him a name .So no,I dont hate him,but no one will ever take the place of Gene Wilder in that role. No more than anyone else could be Scarlett Ohara.

^ whuh?

whuh? for R39

origin movie. It is an origin movie. Og Wonka when young.

Tim o Tay IS the Demon Twink

R44 He's not interesting enough

How novel.

What do you even do for a Wonka origin story? Setting up a factory even a magical chocolate one doesn't sound that fun, and I doubt they're going to focus on his dubious employment/slavery practices. All that's left is 2 hours of Chalamet stuffing his face with sweets for the feeder audience, and probably a tacked on romance subplot... Hopefully not with an Oompa Loompa.

I can see why he was cast. He looks the part.

Wonky Willie.

R48 looks what part??

Looks like he's wearing Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter costume from Alice in Wonderland.

He so wants Johnny Depp’s career.

I mean, didn’t the Depp version give the origin story? Something about a dentist?

It’s stupid anyway, because Willy Wonka is a mystery and should remain one.

He is signed with Sunshine Sachs. The same PR firm that represents Harry and Meghan. That’s why this mediocrity is everywhere.

Shunshine Shacsh.

He looks trans here

Well...it can't be worse than the Depp remake can it?

He looks like he rapes Oompa Loompas and then throws their lifeless bodies into a chocolate river.

Too much of a pussy to comment on Armie

So he's banged Depp's daughter and now he's going to take over Depp's roles. He should just bang Depp and get it over with.

Well that's pretty much what I thought he would look like as Wonka.

As long as Tim Burton isn't directing... what a disaster.

R59: He said the same thing about Woody Allen.

I can’t believe Annamarie fucked that guy!

It's not a remake. It's a prequel.

[quote]So what does this mean for his career?

Have you ever heard of "Glitter"?

I don’t hate this guy the way other DLers seem to, but honestly, how is he getting so much work? His looks are average and so is his acting.

R67 His insanely fanatical fanbase and a top notch agent are playing a large part. The latter is leveraging his popularity to help get him roles.

His followers believe he's another Daniel Day-Lewis in the making, but I don't see anywhere near that level of acting capability.

[quote]how is he getting so much work?

The two words Hollywood loves most:

WILLING WHORE.

R69 You dirty old queen, you are imagining things.

If he was a willing whore, Tye Sheridan wouldn't be Cyclops.

I don't mean literal whore, you botched abortion. A Willing Whore in Hollywood is when some actor gets notice in some indie film or tv project, gets cred, then gets attention and accepts every offer that is presented to him no matter how ridiculous, along with the requisite publicity and endorsement deals. Previous examples of the Willing Whore include Adam Driver and Ryan Reynolds.

Oh God please let this be the thing that sinks him.

He belongs in a live action version of Ratatouille.

R74, I'll eat his eggplant.

I do not want this, thank you very much.

A lot of set photos in the Daily Mail. That’s how you know it’s gonna be a flop.

I could just about see him as Mike Teavee.

He’s getting all the major roles. Seriously WTF. I understand he’s a very talented and handsome young man but there are thousands of unemployed young, handsome and talented actors out there. I’ve heard he has a very large cock but letting some old powerful faggots suck his cock doesn’t guarantee him landing a major role 😡

The next James Bond!

There is a strong rumour that the Broccolis will be choosing someone in their twenties to capitalise on the youth demographic, which squeezes out a lot of fat-fighting wheezing geezers like Henry Cavill. Lithe heart-throb looker Tim-o-theé, particularly after his Dune turn, is surely in the running!

He is going to age soooo badly.

R80, he's not British.

Where were all these roles when I was up and coming?!!!

He'll never be a James Bond. He could play a mini-me version of some older, girthy actor, though.

[quote] I understand he’s a very talented and handsome young man...

No, and no!

They've postponed Sunset Boulevard till he's old enough to play Norma.

R86

That's witty and funny.

Thank you.

[quote]They've postponed Sunset Boulevard till he's old enough to play Norma.

A decade on, and with a fat suit, he'll be able to play Madge.

[quote] The story will focus on how he meets the mysterious Oompa Loompas and how they came to work at his factory.

They're actually doing it. They're actually making a musical about Timothee Chalamet in Victorian costume going to Africa and enslaving an entire tribe of pygmies to work in his factory.

And the media, which would normally tear something like that apart, will instead praise it because of their adoration for Chalamet

I wonder if this will be some dark and heavy handed prequel that shows us how Wonka became so damaged. Complete with a joker esque backstory. If so....groan.

Why do we hate him again?

Too ambitious and ratlike.

No Walnut Whip or Creme Egg is safe from Timothee as Wonka!

I mean seriously, he's just ugly. And what's with the sores on his tongue?

I feel like I've already seen this. And I didn't like it.

But what do you DL experts think: is he hetero?

Straight-leaning bi R97.

R98: Who gives a shit? He’s butt ugly and a shitty actor.

Timothée ass wonky.

R98 If he is bi he would be one of the rare bi guys I would want. Otherwise bi is not my thing.

Gene Wilder IS Willy Wonka! The rest is just Bullshit!

Who is that at R95?

R103

Henry Kissinger, Rose.

R103 R104

Henry Kissinger 2.0

What’s his ethnic background?

I like skinny guys. He's sexy.

Why is this a thing? Why is he a thing?

Make it stop.

I don't like good-looking guys.

I like them skinny and pale, like they're dying.
