Critics and filmgoers are free to have their opinions on Wonka, but one of its writers wants to make it clear that one common complaint is actually a misconception.Serving as an origin story for Willy Wonka, the eccentric chocolatier first introduced in Roald Dahl’s novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Wonka was directed by Paul King, who co-wrote the screenplay with Simon Farnaby. The film has garnered mostly positive reviews, landing at 83% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, though it hasn’t been without criticism. However, some fans of the original feature film starring Gene Wilder have been condemning the filmmakers for their attempt at “remaking” that movie. Taking to X, Farnaby clarified bluntly, “It’s not a remake.””We wanted to make a movie with a beginning, middle and end that wouldn’t feel like one of those things where you kinda go, ‘Oh, I only just saw a quarter of the story.’ The movie is its own thing,” King told Entertainment Tonight. “It’s set 25 years before the factory… there’s 25 years and plenty more things that happen to Willy Wonka.”
