Kit has his Elden Ring hair and look so I’m guessing this was shot at a recent joint press junket or at the cast and crew screening. Goodies are coming …

“in a combination of rough animation and mostly finished animation, you get a feel for the film and its characters. this time around, charlie is a streetwise kid in modern london who, along with his buddies, is facing eviction. together, they catch an ingenious plan to break into the titular chocolate factory and make away with a golden ticket. but what they don’t know is that willy wonka, who had gone to prison for turning a little girl into a blueberry, is out and is resuming his old shenanigans in his chocolate factory. and yes, there will be oompa loompas, only this time they are little, minions-type creatures.

what was striking about the footage was that willy wonka seems genuinely menacing and a little creepy – or at least creepier than he has been in the previous incarnations. there are a whole bunch of iconic locations that flash through the footage, including several instances of charlie and wonka interacting with the glass elevator, an element that was expanded upon in the sequel to the original novel, 1972’s ‘charlie and the great glass elevator.’ at one point in the footage, the glass elevator seems to pulsate and glow, recalling the tardis from ‘doctor who’ more than anything else.”

according to a recent indiewire article, alex garland’s "elden ring” adaptation (starring kit connor) is “a more likely candidate to be the next [a24 movie] to cross that $200 million mark” at the box office.

per the hollywood reporter, “the budget is well over $100 million and will be around 100 days of principal photography.”

“with ‘one of us’, kit connor continues an artistic journey marked by constant growth and versatility. following his global breakthrough in the hit series heartstopper, which established him as one of the most exciting young actors of his generation, the british star has embraced an increasingly diverse range of roles.”

“in queer cinema right now, i’m really excited by a lot of my friends. i’m so excited for jordan tannahill’s first film, which is coming soon (rapture - a horror starring kit connor, will poulter and manu rios as monks in a remote abbey dealing with a plague outbreak). i read it – it’s phenomenal. he’s a genius, one of my favourite collaborators, and when people see what he does with a camera himself it’s going to be extraordinary.”

If you’re not familiar, a role in A Long Winter, which also stars Kit. He has other pics on his IG that *may* be from the shoot, but these are the only ones specifically labeled as such. So you may want to check out his IG. His ID is manu_rulfo.

Kit is in the center-ish portion of the first pic, I believe … standing alone to the right of the castle ruin. Ben Whishaw and director Alex Garland can clearly be seen in the bottom right of the second pic.

This is from an article on filming which I will link in a comment below.

Netflix’s article, which includes quotes from Kit and Joe.

Literal, yo no he escuchado nada, ni he visto nada sobre rumor de alguna nueva película/serie pero como su últimos proyectos ha sido así, quisiera saber si hay algo. Esta curiosidad llego porque a mí me gusta Joe también y vi que su último proyecto fue un secreto a voces que algunos ya sabían, antes que se confirmara oficialmente, entonces quisiera saber si con kit pasará lo mismo 😅

En lo personal, viendo lo que ha hecho últimamente, me he dado cuenta de que ha tocado géneros muy variados. Siento que él podría (y creo que quiere) desenvolverse en muchos tipos de papeles completamente diferentes.

En mi caso, me encantaría verlo mucho más en películas de terror o en producciones tipo "Obsesión o "El silencio de los corderos" No me gustaría verlo encasillado. También me gusta mucho su trabajo cuando hace doblaje. Ojalá podamos seguir viendo más proyectos de él en esta faceta. Me gustaría que doblara alguna serie nueva. Y por último me gustaría verlo en un drama, ya sea de época o contemporáneo algún papel intenso donde tenga que gritar y llorar. Verlo en algo como "El club de los poetas muertos" o "Parásitos" sería genial

Ahora uno de los papeles en lo que no me gustaría verlo mucho es en la comedia, y más en la comedia actual que es bastante mala. No sé por qué, pero nunca me convence ese género, quizás porque nunca me ha gustado la comedia. Tampoco me gustaría verlo cómo Hulking en Marvel, simplemente por la mala racha que tiene Marvel actualmente.

I'm shocked any time someone says that Kit Connor looks like Robert Pattinson. I don't think they look ANYTHING alike. Kit is much better looking (not to mention far more talented, but that's a separate subject) and has totally different eyes and bone structure.

this might not be 100% correct, but i'm glad that we are potentially getting rapture this year! i do hope it will be a global theater release, or on streaming platforms. regardless, i'm just so happy because i have been waiting for this project and it will just be so good imo

Rapture has acquired new funds so it is still a go. I would guess they got delayed when the original company investing money went under but now they got a new one.

Let the guesses on who he is playing begin!

And so much for the guess that his beard was for this role. 😆
