Concept Trailer: Four Wonkas

Logline: Four iconic Willy Wonkas – played by Timothée Chalamet, Johnny Depp, Crispin Glover, and Gene Wilder – unexpectedly meet outside a mysterious chocolate factory, triggering a surreal and whimsical adventure into the depths of their shared imagination.

Scene 1:

EXT. CHOCOLATE FACTORY - NIGHT

A gothic, fantastical chocolate factory looms against a stormy sky. Rain slicks the cobblestones. TIMOTHÉE CHALAMET’S Wonka (a brooding, modern Wonka) stands alone, a single, flickering cigarette illuminating his face. He’s dressed in sharp, contemporary clothing, a stark contrast to the factory’s antiquated architecture.

Suddenly, JOHNNY DEPP’S Wonka (a flamboyant, eccentric version) bursts onto the scene, his purple coat billowing in the wind. He’s followed by CRISPIN GLOVER’S Wonka (a disturbingly unsettling, almost grotesque interpretation), his movements jerky and unpredictable. Finally, GENE WILDER’S Wonka (the classic, beloved Wonka) appears, his demeanor cheerful yet slightly bewildered.

(SOUND: Ominous music swells, punctuated by the rhythmic dripping of rain.)

DEPP WONKA: (Loudly) Well, fancy meeting you all here! I say, what a delightful coincidence!

CHALAMET WONKA: (Deadpan) Coincidence? I think not.

GLOVER WONKA: (In a high-pitched, unsettling voice) The chocolate… it calls to us…

WILDER WONKA: (Smiling) Oh, goody! An adventure!

(VISUAL: Quick cuts showcasing the four Wonkas’ contrasting personalities – Chalamet’s intense stare, Depp’s manic grin, Glover’s unsettling twitch, Wilder’s childlike wonder.)

Scene 2:

INT. CHOCOLATE FACTORY - VARIOUS

The four Wonkas enter the factory. The interior is a kaleidoscope of bizarre and wonderful sights – rivers of chocolate, sentient candy, and rooms that defy logic. Each Wonka reacts differently to the surreal environment.

(VISUAL: Montage of surreal imagery – giant chocolate bars, rivers of molten chocolate flowing through fantastical landscapes, Oompa Loompas with unsettlingly realistic features, rooms that shift and change.)

(SOUND: Whimsical, slightly unsettling music plays, blending elements of classic Wonka themes with a more modern, experimental score.)

Scene 3:

INT. CHOCOLATE FACTORY - GRAND HALL

The Wonkas stand before a massive chocolate fountain, its chocolate shimmering with an otherworldly glow. They exchange cryptic glances.

CHALAMET WONKA: We are all pieces of the same puzzle.

DEPP WONKA: A puzzle… of pure imagination!

GLOVER WONKA: The chocolate… it holds the key…

WILDER WONKA: To what, my friends? To what?

(VISUAL: Close-ups on each Wonka’s face, highlighting their individual expressions of curiosity, fear, and excitement.)

(SOUND: Music builds to a crescendo, culminating in a powerful, emotional swell.)

Scene 4:

EXT. CHOCOLATE FACTORY - NIGHT

The four Wonkas emerge from the factory, silhouetted against the moonlit sky. They look different, transformed by their experience. The factory itself seems to have changed, its appearance more fantastical and less menacing.

(VISUAL: Slow-motion shot of the four Wonkas walking away, their shadows stretching long and distorted.)

(SOUND: The music fades, leaving only the sound of the wind and the distant, echoing laughter of Oompa Loompas.)

(TEXT ON SCREEN: "Come with me, and you'll be… in a world of pure imagination.")
