Director Paul King praises Timothée Chalamet's singing voice in the upcoming film 'Wonka,' likening it to Bing Crosby. While the movie features musical numbers, King doesn't classify it as a traditional musical, aiming for a balance between songs and storytelling. The star-studded cast includes Keegan-Michael Key, Rowan Atkinson, Sally Hawkins, Olivia Colman, and Hugh Grant as an Oompa-Loompa. 'Wonka' is based on Roald Dahl's characters from the novel 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' and is a new adaptation following the 1971 and 2005 films.
