Besides, based on the very dark trailers, do we really need a remake of the loveable classic featuring a much kinder Willy Wonka as played by Gene Wilder?
Please spread the word!

He doesn't need my money for Willy Wonka, because NO ONE can top Gene Wilder, but he'll get some for the sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean.

Also from the trailers doesn't Depp look like Michael Jackson in the movie?

Wonka was a very dark book. Dahl was a good writer, but somewhat dark by today's standards.

He got some of it for Finding Neverland, and he'll no doubt get some more of it in some future movie. But not for this one, I can never get that Ooompa Looompa song out of my head.

Why does everyone like him in the Pirates of the C? He played it like a flaming homosexual....
Everytime I saw him flounce I was distracted from the film story.

Never saw the original. Think Depp is a very convincing actor with a wide range. I also have a 2 lb. hammer that has more brains than he.

Wouldn't touch this with a barge pole. Anti-American or not.
To: mlmr
He played it like the original meaning of the word "gay." PotC's the only thing I've ever seen him in that I liked.

He doesn't "deserve" my money. But I'd say he's earned it by past performances. His movies are usually good and odds are this one is good as well. He can have his opinion and howl at the moon if he wants.
To: Jon Alvarez
I don't know that Wilder was very accurate to the books, or whether Depp is either. As for anti-American's in Hollywood if you go ignoring all the work done by liberals there your movie viewing will be scant. Depp is a talented actor, if a poor patriot, and poor evaluator of global politics. Still 50% of America roughly voted for John Kerry beleiving he would help the lower class while knowing he was a treasonist bastard and mega mega rich guy. So maybe that's the part of America Depp was calling dumb. If anything describes liberals it's happy puppy dumbness combined with uninstigated aggression.

I think that for this one they left out the songs. From what I understand Roald Dahl's widow had ultimate creative control, and the movie will be much more true to the book than the Gene Wilder film.
