In the 50-plus years of James Bond, the wait between films has never gone longer than six years.

Denis Villeneuve is going from “Dune” to Bond.

Like the “Paddington” movies, “Wonka” was dreamt up by Paul King, a lifetime Roald Dahl fan and a writer and director whom his collaborators somewhat universally agree may actually be Paddington in a human costume.

Timothée Chalamet will play Willy Wonka in a musical based on the early life of the eccentric chocolatier.
