Young Frankenstein (1974) dir. Mel Brooks

Blazing Saddles- Welcome the New 'Black' Sheriff

One of the funniest scenes ever- Excuse me while I whip this out 🤣

A poster I made for a client weeks ago for a school musical! I edited the movie’s typeface to something more retro, & subdued the psychadelic 1970’s color palette. But I tried to keep the original zany tone of the story. I also had to keep that iconic purple!

Willy Wonka’s Appereance

The new Young Willy Wonka seems more like a mixture of Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp’s Willy Wonkas than just being a specific one of them.

For example, Young Wonka’s outfit seems more like Gene Wilder’s Wonka with the hat and the bright uniquely patterned shirt but the general colour scheme of his outfit such as his coat looks more like Johnny Depp’s Wonka.

Timothée Chalamet’s Wonka also doesn’t wear gloves. This is similar to Gene Wilder’s Wonka but it could also be because when he got older he wore gloves to look more professional or perhaps to hide the injury scars he got in his chocolate factory.

Timothée Chalamet’s Wonka has brown hair, similar to Johnny Depp’s Wonka.

Timothée Chalamet’s Wonka’s hair is also curly, he also has an optimistic charming smile and energy similar to Gene Wilder’s Wonka.
