See, I think that alot of people are going to be thinking that this is a copy of the original movie....which was very "70s". It was stylistically placed in that point in time.
I think that this remake will have influences from our "time" more or less...(That made sense before I typed it, really...)
I won't be expecting Johnny Depp to be doing a Gene Wilder impersonation.
I think I'll reread the book before I see it, too.
Hopefully It won't have the same/or any music, to further separate it from the original.
