"WONKA" gets an Official Release date, but who will play Willy Wonka?

via Twitter

Who can take a sunrise?....

Sprinkle it with dew?

Janelle Monae would be SICK as Willy Wonka, right?  Unfortunately, it's just a photo circulating.  She was not casted.

Actually, no one has been casted yet, so there's still hope.  According to Collider, sources are saying Warner Bros. has their eye on Tom Holland or Timothee Chalamet.  

Willy Wonka is a movie in my collection that I can quote word. for. word.  An avid fan of the 1971 original.  I hated the one with Johnny Depp.  Never finished it... never revisited.  

There has been a lot of speculation that this film will be a 'prequel', but no confirmation yet.  I'll keep you posted.  Let's see what they come up with.  WB should seriously look into casting Janelle Monae though.

WONKA is slated for release on March 17, 2023.

BLACK. LIVES. MATTER!

"This song is a vessel.  It carries the unbearable anguish of millions.  We recorded it to channel the pain, fear, and trauma caused by the ongoing slaughter of our brothers and sisters.  We recorded it to challenge the indifference, disregard, and negligence of all who remain quiet about this issue.  Silence is our enemy.  Sound is our weapon.  They say a question lives forever until it gets the answer it deserves... Won't you say their names?"- Wondaland. 

Janelle Monae, Jidenna, and the Wondaland Family release a POWERFUL track raising awareness to those in headlines for police brutality and racism.  To hear a band playing this while we march.  Man... only one can dream.  If you're not familiar with each name on the list.  Google them.  They all share a similar story.

 This is what I like to hear.  They’re baackkkk.  I got so excited when I saw they dropped a new single.  I still reminisce when I met them yearsss ago.  What a good way to come back on the scene with a slapper such as this.  Listen below:
