Wonka Trailer
Transcript
I’ve spent the past seven years traveling the world, perfecting my craft.
You see, I’m something of a magician, inventor and chocolate maker.
So quiet up and listen down.
Nope.
Scratch that, reverse it.
Mr. Wonka, I can see you’re a man of great ingenuity.
What are you doing?
I’m making chocolate, of course.
How do you like it?
Dark? White? Nutty?
Absolutely insane?
Many people have come here to sell chocolate.
They’ve all been crushed… by The Chocolate Cartel.
You can’t get a shop without selling chocolate, and you can’t sell chocolate without a shop.
No daydreaming.
What are we gonna do, Willy?
Huh.
Huh?
Huh.
A double-huh.
Do you have a pencil and paper?
Uh-huh.
I got an idea.
I know things haven’t been easy for you.
They’re gonna get better.
You promise?
I pinkie promise.
That’s the most solemn vow there is.
Where do we start?
A good chocolate should be simple.
Whereas this, it’s just…
Weird.
Whoa!
What’s happening?
Who wants a chocolate that makes you fly?
Well, let’s find out, shall we?
Who’s for Hoverchoc?
Nothin’ to see here.
Just a small group of people defyin’ the laws of gravity.
Ladies and gentlemen of The Galeries Gourmet, my name is Willy Wonka.
He’s good..
Too good.
Pretty sure I’ve gained about 150 pounds in the last two weeks.
You could change her life, Mr. Wonka, change all their lives.
Run away!
Every good thing in this world started with a dream.
So you hold on to yours.
Here we go, Mama.
Mark my words, this is gonna be the greatest chocolate shop… …the world has ever seen.
So you’re the funny little man who’s been following me.
I will have you know that I am a perfectly respectable size… for an Oompa Loompa.
An Oompa-what-now?
Allow me to refresh your memory.
Oh, I don’t think I wanna hear that.
Too late. I’ve started dancing now. Once we’ve started, we can’t stop.
