The modern take on Roald Dahl’s beloved tale “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” is the upcoming movie “Wonka,” featuring Timothée Chalamet in the lead role. Throughout the years, there have been various adaptations, such as the 2005 film “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” starring Johnny Depp as Wonka and Freddie Highmore as Charlie. However, many believe that none can compare to the original 1971 film “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory,” with Gene Wilder in the main role.
Leading up to the release of “Speak No Evil,” we had a conversation with Beatriz Sequeira, a Blumhouse producer. This upcoming psychological thriller is garnering buzz due to James McAvoy’s exceptional performance. The film hits theaters tomorrow, September 13th. Sequeira, who serves as executive producer on the project, has been juggling other exciting Blumhouse productions like “Wolf Man,” where Christopher Abbott steps into the titular role. Initially, Ryan Gosling was slated for the iconic character, and interestingly enough, Abbott and Gosling have previously starred together in a major film (“First Man”). Sequeira shared her thoughts on the casting change.
Clint Eastwood’s upcoming, possibly last film has announced a release date. The story revolves around Justin Kemp (Nicolas Hoult), who serves as a juror in a high-profile murder trial. As he begins to suspect his own guilt in the victim’s death, he finds himself in a moral quandary. He could potentially manipulate the jury’s verdict to either convict or acquit the accused murderer. The film also features an impressive ensemble cast that includes Toni Collette (from “Hereditary”), J.K. Simmons (“Whiplash”), Gabriel Basso (“Hillbilly Elegy”), Zoey Deutch (“Zombieland: Double Tap”), Chris Messina (“Birds of Prey”), Cedric Yarbrough (“Reno 911!”), Amy Aquino (“Bosch”), Leslie Bibb (“Iron Man”), Adrienne C. Moore (“Orange is the New Black”), and Kiefer Sutherland (“24”).
