Nov. 14 (UPI) -- Warner Bros. Pictures is teasing the new movie Wonka.

The studio shared a clip from the film Tuesday featuring Timothée Chalamet and Hugh Grant.

Wonka is based on the Roald Dahl novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which was previously adapted for film. The new movie provides an origin story for Willy Wonka, an inventor and chocolatier.
