Just no

The trailer for Wonka, a based-on-nothing prequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, came out yesterday and, well, no thank you. The last time I had such a visceral negative reaction to a trailer was with the Harry Potter prequels, and this feels exactly the same: like a glossy, big-budget, competently acted cash grab that literally no one asked for, and no one wants. Also, it's a musical, just to make matters worse.
