![]() ![]() Nobody’s ever expressed interest in Charlie-driven film spinoffs, while Dahl’s own sequel, 1972’s Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, has remained unfilmed. ![]() But that was then, back when Chalamet was still in short trousers: in Hollywood time, that IP has practically crystallised with age by now.Īfter all, this week marks a full 50 years since the first big-screen stab at Dahl’s 1964 bestseller was released, making Wonka an enduring figure of fascination for generations of children, while the ostensible hero of Dahl’s story – wholesome 11-year-old poppet Charlie Bucket – faded in his top-hatted shadow. ![]() Sure, Tim Burton and screenwriter John August attempted to forge a Wonka backstory – a whole lot of daddy issues, naturally – in 2005’s lavish but little-treasured Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and nobody much cared for it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Readers will thrill to the story of Cara, an earth girl who becomes both ward and savior of the unicorns.

And this year, it was The Perfect world of Miwako Sumida for me. It isn’t often that you read a book and do not want it to end.
