On Monday, it was announced that Spectrevision would launch Mutant, a new collectibles, poster and vinyl brand that would include many of the creative visionaries behind Mondo, the beloved Austin, Texas, brand that was absorbed and mostly discarded after being acquired by Funko. Now, TheWrap can exclusively reveal one of the very first Mutant releases – a deluxe vinyl edition of the “Wonka” soundtrack.
“Wonka,” of course, was the recent Warner Bros. release that imagined the hardscrabble beginnings of Willy Wonka (Timothée Chalamet), before his majestic chocolate factory (or glass elevator). Inspired by the Roald Dahl books and incorporating elements from earlier versions of the character (mostly Gene Wilder’s take from the 1971 movie), “Wonka” still had a unique tone and vision all its own, thanks to the direction of filmmaker Paul King (who also co-wrote the script).
