Some more fun facts:

The tickets costed 40£ each

Not just the promotional images, but also the scripts for the actors were AI generated

The AI also created a whole new character called the unnamed (Edit: unknown, not unnamed), a shadowy chocolate-maker who became evil and lives inside the walls

Edit: Also they didn’t have any chocolate and each guest only got a single jelly bean and a 6cl shot of lemonade

I actually wanted to post that character, but I wasn't sure anyone would know what it was. It's so bizarre.

Genuinely, The Unnamed is still a more logical extension of the Willy Wonka lore than the actual sequel book, which involves a plot by shapeshifting aliens to take over a space hotel, Willy Wonka being declared an enemy of the state by the president of the US, and confectionery that can alter time itself.

They are making a horror movie about the unnamed I read somewhere

Bound to be a masterpiece!

I think the evil chocolate maker that lives in the walls was called The Unknown
