A new footage of “Dune” actor, Timothèe Chalamet plays a younger version of a beloved “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” character, Willy Wonka surfaced. His latest outing, “Wonka,” Chalamet was photographed filming in Oxford, England, on Wednesday, working on a scene with a kid actor Calah Lane.

The latest film, directed by “Paddington” series helmer Paul King and writer Simon Farnaby, Wonka will serve as a prequel to Roald Dahl’s beloved children book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which has been adapted into a feature film twice before – “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory” in 1971 and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” in 2005.
