Charlie vs. The Chocolate Factory (film release)
Friday 1st January, 2027
An animated adaptation of Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has been announced for streaming with a high-profile filmmaker attached, though production details and a release date are not yet confirmed. This gives you a chance to talk about LEGO’s ties to imaginative, family-friendly storytelling and product tie-ins — especially in the UK and other key markets where Dahl’s story is culturally significant — as interest will rise once casting, visuals or release dates are revealed.
Why have we flagged this?
Strong alignment: LEGO's brand stands for imaginative, family-friendly storytelling and merchandising tie-ins, and a high-profile new adaptation of a beloved children’s book creates clear opportunities for planned campaigns (themed builds, social content, nostalgic storytelling) and reactive PR (commentary on adaptations, expert nostalgia angles), especially in the UK and other markets where Dahl is culturally significant.
