Okay so not strictly Tim Burton related, since this prequel is not related to Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, nor is Tim Burton involved with this project.
But in any case, it will be interesting to see how Chalamet's performance compares to Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp. He is one of the most talented young actors working today, after all. For Burton fans it will be fun to see if this brings any renewed interest on the Burton version. Maybe I'll be able to sell off those Charlie trading cards in eBay now?
