Ahead of the release ꦍof his new movie Wonka, which hits the cover of this mo🐲nth, Harry Potter producer David Heyman gives us an update on the reboot TV series.

The show, which is based on the seven books in J.K. Rowling's series, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:is in development at MAX. Heymanꦯ, who produced all eight installments of the Harry Potter films, is executive producing the series. 

"[On Harry Potter] It’s early days," Heyman tells Total Film. "We haven’t even hired a writer to begin writing. It’s a bit early. But hopefully [it will be] something that’s very special, and gives us an opportunity to see the books, an💜d to enjoy a series which explores the books more deeply."

Heyman's full interview appears in the September 14 issue of Total Film. Inside, he sp⛎eaks alongside director Paul King about Wonka, the upcoming origin story of the famous chocolatier. Interestingly too, it sounds like there's an unexpected link between Harry Potter and Wonka.

"In a way, loving Dahl was one of the beginnings of my interest in Harry Potter," Heyman adds to Total Fiꦚlm. "There’s a connection. It’s family but there’s an ܫirreverence to them. There’s a sense of mischief and play which I really enjoy."

Wonka is released in theaters on December 15.
