Timothee Chalamet shares Wonka production design practically built
Hollywood actor Timothee Chalamet, who is awaiting the release of his upcoming film Wonka, has shared that everything in terms of production design was practically built for the movie. Talking about the same, the actor said, “Basically, we shot no scenes with a green screen. Everything was practically built, which was amazing. Every day, getting on the set in Leavesden, then shooting in London, where I’d never shot before – it felt like entering this magical world that Paul King had realised and that David Hayman had stewarded – who famously stewarded Harry Potter, Barbie and these other movies that have very distinct palettes, sets and feelings to three them.” Timothee further mentioned, “So, this was one of these incredibly magical sets to walk on. Every set you walked on offered something new. Production designer Nathan Crowley, who’s worked on things like Interstellar, just did a fantastic job.” Wonka is releasing on December 8 in IMAX by Warner Bros India. (IANS)
