[TV Show News] Taika Waititi Making Not One, but Two ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ Animated Series for Netflix
OMG he’s so hot right now.
Everyone wants a piece of Waititi! I’m everyone.
Every project I’ve seen to date that he’s been attached to, I have immensely enjoyed it.
Can’t wait to see what hilarious and goofy things he has in plans for this.
Taika Waititi is partnering with Netflix on a pair of animated series — one based on the world of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and another based on the Oompa-Loompa characters.
Waititi, who won an Academy Award for the “Jojo Rabbit” adapted screenplay, will write, direct, and executive produce both projects. The two “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” movies were based on the 1964 children’s novel by Roald Dahl about the adventures of young Charlie Bucket inside the chocolate factory of Willy Wonka.
