We Had It All Wrong

Well, after only a day Warner Bros. shot down the reports of Marilyn Manson playing Willy Wonka in the upcoming remake of Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory

This is what happens with reporting today. ?One gets a news feed from a source. ?Then prints it. ?Another picks up that story, and re-prints it. ?Then another gets that story. ?Etc. ?You get the idea.

It seems the only factual information is that Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory will be remade, and it will be produced by Warner Brothers.

Tim Burton is not going to be directing this film, however cool it might have been if he did. ?Gary Ross(Pleasantville, Big) is directing the film, and has stated that Marilyn Manson will have no part in the film. ?Not even as an Oompa Loompa.

Well, as good as the film will probably be, I'm a little disappointed. ?Manson starring in a Tim Burton film would have been interesting, regardless of how much they would have butchered Willy Wonka.. ?It definitely wouldn't be something you would want to take your kids to see, and would drastically cut down the target audience.

There's still the rumored production of American McGee's Alice, so at least we might get a taste of what a darkened children's story would be like on the big screen.
