that makes more sense. i wasn't quite sure how anyone could hate johnny depp.
i haven't heard anything about it recently. but before Hunter's death, Benicio and Depp we making "The Rum Diaries" into a movie. i hope they finish the movie. it would make a fitting tribute to Thompson.
and not just that, the original movie was Willy Wionka and the Chocolcate Factory, whcih was a collective story gathering a bunch of different stories...this movie is the actual book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory...so in a way it is a remake, but it also is a movie telling this one individual story
I'm not ranking on his whole body of work. I just hate that Hollywood is so bankrupt of original ideas that they keep selling my childhood back to me.
Just say "NO!" to remakes!
If it were a remake, maybe I'd feel the same way; but, it's a taste of my childhood, brought back..since this is based on the actual stories...I don't think this takes anything away from Gene Wilder......like Finding Neverland is not another Peter Pan movie.
I have to admit Johnny Depp is such a multi faceted actor, I'm pretty excited.
i think you might be suprised when you see them in this new movie
"If you've seen the cinematic version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, you'll notice some differences between the book and the movie. Most notably perhaps are the Oompa-Loompas. In the film, they are orange creatures with bright green hair that work and sing in white overalls. In Dahl's book, the Oompa-Loompas are black pygmies from Dark Africa wearing deer skins and leaves. (Considering this book came out in 1964, one can easily see why the change was made for the film.)"
Hurm I thought the original movie (classic) ended with Charlie and co, leaving via the glass elevator which then would have been the start of a sequal had they done it. I could be wrong but I thought the 2nd book was never brought to screen.

i must be confused about your question
there were two books made
then a movie with gene wilder which incorporated both books into one movie
now, many years later, there is a new movie coming out with johnny depp which is totally seperate from any movie that has been made before, it is not a sequel or anything...this is a movie based on the first book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory...and will have nothing to do with Charlie and the Glass Elevator
i was so against this movie being made back in the days when it was rumoured Nick Cage was going to be Wonka,etc but when the whole Depp/Burton thing came together I changed my mind and now I want to see it. Plus, as it has been said, the book is dark and not always easy for kids. That sounds right up Burton's street.
very excited
it wasn't that long ago that I actually sat down and read the book and wow, what a dark, twisted motherfucker of a trip...
also, if you have the SE of Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory, there's a feture you'll hear the the producer talk about initially trying to make one big commecial for a candy bar that ended up being manufactured poorly and melted on the shelves...

When I first heard a remake was planned I immediately thought about Planet of the Apes (this is before I even heard about Burton directing). But when I heard Johnny Depp I thought, well if you've got to do it, who else. Now with what I've seen and heard so far I think I am going to like it and will go see it while it's in the theater. With all my satellite channels only 2 or 3 movies most years get that honor
