Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory...

I read somewhere that the new movie is going to be more true to Roald Dahl's book than the movie was, putting back the black humor and satirical elements that the film took out. I will no doubt see this, as it's like a return to form for Tim Burton after the fake Planet of The Apes. Personally, I'd like to see Alan Cummings play Willy Wonka. He has that sort of Wonka-ness to him, especially in the first Spy Kids movie. (Watch all of his parts in that, you'll see it, I hope.)

I love Alan Cumming. He stole that movie BTW.

I believe that Johnny Depp has been cast though, which is, in itself, not a bad thing at all.

Alan Cumming would have been perfect, but it really depends on what type of mood Burton is going to give it. I hope he goes totally creepy with it b/c i never liked the original and always thought that the character was a creepy guy.

Double wow !!!

On mansons first album 'Portrait Of An American Family' theres a song called 'Dope hat'. Manson released it as a single. The video is a take off of 'Willy Wonka and the chocolate Factory'. Manson plays the role of Willy Wonka, and he does it well. I couldnt imagine anyone else playing that role.....appart from Johny Depp.....But he'd be good in any role.
The point is, Mansons perfect for it, and i'm sick of people bad mouthing him, so lame. People who do that obviousley have know idea wot he's about. Your all ignorant.

I could not say that better then how you said it!Yea!You are right!THIS IS A CLASSIC AND SHOULD STAY THAT WAY!I like how you think sister!See you around!JM

If you're going to call people ignorant, make sure your grammar is correct.

You're = you are - You're all ignorant.

I agree, Gene Wilder, cannot be replaced he was and is the Chocolate Factory. There is no way they can remake this classic. Gene Wilder has left his stamp of perfection with this character he owns this character. I hope that they do not end up making this film over.

Johnny Depp is going to play Wonka, and the movie is supposed to be a tad
more true to the book. Though the original cannot be replaced I think it would be interresting to see what direction Tim Burton takes the film in. I think that Johnny Depp is a good choice.

Actually with the Willy Wonka remake Johnney Depp might actually play it well... I'd like to see what comes of him teaming up with Tim Burton once again. I liked how they did Edward Scissorhands,lets see the outcome of this latest venture. I just don't think anything can live up to the original though no matter how good it turns out. The original had the sweet sentiment you just can't capture with special effects in a remake.

hahaha, I found that very funny

As a kid Roald Dahl was a favourite author, nowadays he is still my favourite author for children's books (although to be fair, I have stopped reading children's books......and that includes the harry potter phenomenon). When this movie is remade and comes out, I'd be one of the first people to go see it

Jrs is one step ahead of you. Here

Yeah. I thought of that the other day when I was looking at pics of Johnny in his Willy Wonka costume. I remember thinking that if anyone could be as eccentric as Gene Wilder, it would be Jonny Depp.
When I heard a rumor that Will Smith wanted the part, I about died. If you look at the pictures in the book...Willy Wonka is the splitting image of Gene Wilder; you can't get any closer of a match. However, I like the idea that the factory can be a better version of itself with the technologies that we have now.
Anyways, thanks for noticing that I predicted the goodness of Depp playing Wonka, I was wondering that myself.

Doesn't Depp look quite queer as Wonka?

Indeed he does. Although if your implying queer as in homosexual i'd have to say yes also, but thats only because Willy Wonker has always been a little....fabulous. Depp does look quite strange in that picture tho. Granted we cant see a lot of his face but when i first saw it i thought he looked more like a vampire. A Willy Wonker Vampire....now theres nightmare material. Goodbye chocolate river, hello RIVER OF BLOOOOD!
