00:00 - Three, two, one, action!
00:02 - This movie was like a breath of fresh air
00:06 with a story that's outside the bounds
00:07 of Roald Dahl's original material.
00:09 I thought it was magical.
00:10 - I really wanted this movie to be able to sit
00:13 as a companion piece to the original movie.
00:16 I know how much it means to people
00:18 because it means a lot to me too.
00:20 - Paul's doing a really exciting reinvention
00:22 of Willie's origin stories.
00:24 - In this story, Willie is going to have to find help
00:26 from other people.
00:27 He can't do it on his own.
00:28 He gets help from the Wash House gang.
00:31 - We recognize that he could be brought into the fold.
00:34 We see the effect of that teamwork come into play.
00:37 - So you're the funny little man who's been following me.
00:41 I will have you know that I am a perfectly respectable size
00:43 for an Oompa Loompa.
00:45 - I don't think it would be a Willie Wonka film
00:47 unless there were Oompa Loompas.
00:48 It felt like they had to be there.
00:50 We would try to think of somebody who could be
00:52 very superior and judgmental and very funny at the same time
00:56 and Hugh Grant was the only person to play it.
00:58 - That's my last jar!
01:00 - I said good day.
01:02 - In this story, Willie's ambitious enough,
01:05 wily enough to come up with a plan
01:07 to not only help the Wash House gang
01:09 but also realize his dreams as a chocolatier.
