Damn you, Johnny Depp! I never wanted anyone to make me think of Willy Wonka as attractive! *shakes angry fist*
 
I don't know...I know that he did two Batman movies, and Edward Scissorhands....:look:

What's "Birth"?

o yeh i think we cant compare the 2 movies to be able to enjoy the movie or it will be full of critisizm
 
I really love Wonka & The Choc Factory. I'm hoping this movie is just as good. I have faith in Burton & Depp. I can't wait to see pics.
 
I can't wait to see this movie. I think Johnny Depp will do a fantastic job as Willy Wonka. I am a little concerned that the movie will turn out a little dark because it is going to be directed by Tim Burton. I'm also wondering if the movie is going to be more true to the book than the first movie. I've read the book and there were a few things done differently in the first movie. Despite that, I still love the original. I'm not so sure this remake will do better than the original because that one is a classic.
 
I love the original Wonka and I love Johnny Depp. Tim Burton is ok I guess. Regardless - not looking forward to the remake. I really feel that Gene Wilder IS Wonka and any remake will just be too easy to compare with his performance. "Strike that. Reverse it" :)

I have to agree with Shrrshrr - the original is not exactly light hearted by any stretch of the imagination. I just don't see a need to remake this one at all - the original is a classic. Yes, Burton could make it darker but that doesn't mean it would be better. Very doubtful it would be close in terms of quality. Of course, I am biased against remakes as it is.
 
I saw the original 13 years ago when I was 6. I am intresting to see if Johnny Depp can out do Gene Wilder's portrayal of Willy Wonka. I don't think he can but I got high hopes.

I was excited when I heard about the remake. But, what do you mean by he might make the movie dark? Do you mean as in turn it into a horror movie? If that's the case then I don't want to see the re-make. I loved the original(1971), it's one of my all-time favorite movies along with Secret Garden etc. When will this new re-make it theaters?
 
Yes, but the original film IS dark - it's incredibly creepy and intense (just because people think it's a dark romp doesn't mean that it is or that it was meant to be when it came out - kids, including me, were freaked out by a lot of it - which was part of the intention).

And while I like both Johnny Depp and Tim Burton (although I don't care for ALL of Tim Burton's movies), I just think that the original is too well known to not make the obvious comparison.

*shrug* But I guess nothing is sacred in Hollywood, and there really aren't any original thinkers there.
 
Well, I sure hope they don't make scary Oompa Loompas anymore. :lol: I was it a bind after that 'cause I was scared, but I also found Gene Wilder (Wonka) disturbingly sexy at the same time. Must be the candy. :lol:
 
But do you think it will be good as a dark movie i think the light heartedness of it now is what we all remember!! i do wanna see it cause i love the movie but too many people are gonna be like nah the first was better! I like my old movies.
 
Why? Because Tim Burton is making it, and he'll suposedly be able to make it all dark, just they way Rahld Dahl wrote.
