In our new releases from PGGB members and partners this week, we're highlighting the extraordinary character at the centre of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Wonka tells the wondrous story of how the world's greatest inventor, magician and chocolate-maker became the Willy Wonka we know today. Catch the film in cinemas from Friday 8th December. Thirteen PGGB Members, including our Operations Executive, Hannah Clarke, and twelve Partners worked on this film!
Also in film, The Velveteen Rabbit, a short based on the classic book by Margery Williams, celebrates the magic of unconditional love. When William receives a new favourite toy for Christmas, he discovers a lifelong friend and unlocks a world of magic. Available to stream on Apple TV+ now, with one PGGB Member working on it.
In Television, Apple's highly acclaimed espionage drama Slow Horses, starring Academy Award winner Gary Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas, returns for season three today! Two PGGB Members and ten Partners worked on this production.
