Prequel?

As I understand it, the "prequel" that Warner Bros. is developing is meant to be a prequel to Roald Dahl's story in general rather than this film in specific, so it doesn't need to be included in this article. Thoughts? throast (talk) 20:20, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Willy Wonka prequel is NOT a prequel to this movie. It is not a prequel to any existing incarnation of the character, and is more so a prequel to the Willy Wonka from the book. This section should be removed from this page as the 'Wonka prequel has no direct relation to 2005's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. 2600:8807:C0C6:B200:41C9:B011:290E:D80C (talk) 04:10, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Run n Fly (talk) 16:34, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article describes that the Wonka prequel will be set in it's own universe separate from this film. https://discussingfilm.net/2021/06/05/nathan-crowley-joins-wonka-exclusive/

This article, that broke the news of Chalamet's casting several weeks ago, claims that the prequel is based only on "characters created by Roald Dahl". https://deadline.com/2021/05/timothee-chalamet-willy-wonka-warner-bros-1234762658/

It has no relation to this movie. If you insist on keeping this section on the page, there should at least be a similar "prequel" section on the page of 1971's Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ethanhart129 (talk • contribs)

Score recording date

@Ethanhart129: Thank you first of all for all of your contributions to the article. I've looked into it as well and it seems as though the recording date of the score is not verifiable. Unless we find a reliable source that explicitly states "the score was recorded between 2004 and 2005", we might as well scratch the "recorded" parameter in the infobox. Would you agree?

I agree. And you're very welcome for the edits! Ethanhart129 (talk • contribs)
