Willy Wonka gives another tour of the lifetime on his Chocolate-filled world, with all the twist and turn and often dangerous things happen to curious kids and misbehaving ones. As Warner Bros. has finally acquired the rights to "Willy Wonka" IP from the Roald Dahl Estate, it will surely be a box office hit as kids and young at heart craves for another sweet treat. A thrilling prequel is already confirmed by Warner Bros. as the early adventures of Wonka will be shown to delight and excite its fans from previous feature films in 2005, with Johnny Depp as Wonka.

Producer of Harry Potter franchise David Heyman will once again remake a fantastic character with Warner Bros. According to Variety Today, the crew that will take charge in the much-awaited film together with Heyman is Michael Siegel, who is the manager of the Dahl Estate. Kevin McCormick is exec producing. "The Secret Life of Pets" scribe Simon Rich is penning the script. Courtenay Valenti and Jon Gonda are overseeing the project for the studio.

Charlie, the lucky poor boy who gets the chance to immerse with Willy Wonka's team will most likely be the next possible franchise if this prequel will be a hit. As for this time, it will be all about Wonka and his kingdom of chocolates, adding to it that it will not show the original story as confirmed by a similar article in the The Guardian. With nearly almost two months after the 'original' Willy Wonka died at 83, this may be a memory of his portrayal of an eccentric but unforgettable character.

Warner Bros. has been trying to get the deal with Dahl early this year, marking its success as it was completely sealed this end quarter. To remember the stories of Willy Wonka, there were two books to read by like the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, but never written to specifically center on Willy Wonka's character. The release date will be further announced.
