Charlie and the chocolate factory
 

there is supposed to be a remake of charlie and the chocolate factory coming out soon. it is going to be nothing like the old one. In this one, when the greedy little kids do wrong, BAD things happen. the oompa loompas are supposed to murder them or something. This is what I heard at least. It's going to have Jonny Depp as Willy Wonka.

now that sounds like a movie!!

I heard it was Robert Downey Jr. playing Willy

o ya? either way it will kick ass.

Johnny Depp will be playing Willie Wonka,Tim Burton is directing and this version is supposed to be closer in tone to the original novel, which is quite dark and this one is NOT a musical.

he is in dire need of redemption after his last 2 outings ... my fingers are crossed.

I kind of hope it isnt too dark though .. i'd like to be able to take my kid to it...god knows we both watched the origional together a million times

Depp or Burton?


Im definatly looking forward to this!

burton .. re. planet of the apes and big fish.

Havnt seen Big Fish, but Planet of the Apes was enjoyable

Wow, Johnny Depp in a Tim Burton movie. That has never been done before...

I'm sorry, but Johnny Depp will make a horrible Willie Wonka

I'm a big Burton fan myself, but I have to agree that Big Fish was his 2nd-worst movie behind Planet of the Apes. But I also think Corpse Bride will redeem him somewhat, and Wonka may bring him back full force. He probly got a bit miffed when everyone was saying that he had lost his touch when he made Big Fish.

And I also don't think Depp would make too bad of a Wonka. Have you seen Benny & Joon? He's pretty Wonka'd-out in that one.
