The character went viral during the failed Glasgow event after the AI-generated script mentioned a character that was never mentioned in any existing version of "Willy Wonka."

The character quickly gained the attention of the internet due to the horrifying experience that it gave the children who attended the event. According to the AI-generated script, The Unknown is "an evil chocolate maker who lives in the walls."
Due to its unexpected popularity, Kaledonia Pictures announced its plan to produce a horror movie based on the character. The production explained that the production was only miles away from Glasgow and it was a surreal experience to see the place all over social media.
"The film, gearing up for production and a late 2024 release, follows a renowned illustrator and his wife who are haunted by the tragic death of their son, Charlie. Desperate to escape their grief, the couple leave the world behind for the remote Scottish Highlands - where an unknowable evil awaits them," Kaledonia Pictures shared with Bloody Disgusting.
Fans Hope to Cast Actor Behind 'The Unknown'
After the announcement, fans are hoping that the production will cast the actress behind The Unknown. The 16-year-old actress, Felicia, shared that it was her first paid acting job. The actress also revealed that she was contacted by The House of Illuminati to play a different character.
"At the end of the actual whole script itself, there was supposed to be a fight scene between The Unknown and Willy Wonka but that got scrapped because there was meant to be a giant hoover that sucked The Unknown up. Obviously, there was no hoover," she explained.
The Kaledonia Pictures stated that it will share more details about the production. The film is also targeted to be released sometime in late 2024.
