Actress Hopes to Be Part of Film or Documentary Based on the Viral Event That Left Families Shocked

Karen Gillan has expressed her enthusiasm to feature in a film or documentary about the infamous Glasgow Willy Wonka Chocolate Experience disaster. The event, which quickly went viral, left attendees shocked after they discovered that what was promised as a magical experience turned out to be little more than a poorly decorated warehouse. The event, which charged £35 per ticket, included sparse decorations such as a rainbow, some posters, and a bouncy castle, leading some parents to report that their children were “traumatised” by the experience.

Social media users worldwide were captivated by the drama, drawing parallels with the 2019 Fyre Festival disaster, organised by Ja Rule, and calling for a documentary akin to Netflix’s coverage of the Fyre debacle.

Leading the conversation was Gillan, known for her role in Guardians of the Galaxy, who shared her desire to be part of the film project on social media. She posted on platform X (formerly Twitter), “PLEASE CAST ME IN THIS… Like a movie based on this story, not the actual thing. Actually, no, either is fine.”

The response from fans has been overwhelming, with many agreeing that a full documentary or even a horror movie should be made. “I’m obsessed with this Willy Wonka story. It needs to be the next Netflix documentary – just like the Fyre Festival one,” one fan tweeted. Others echoed similar sentiments, saying things like, “I need a whole documentary and horror movie about the Willy Wonka experience, I’m so serious,” while one person joked, “Can’t be long before Channel 4 releases their documentary about the Willy Wonka experience!”
