We first announced in January 2001 that Tim Burton was set to direct WB's Willy Wonka remake only to later dismiss it as a rumour. As it turns out our rumour had some truth to it. However, there is still no Marilyn Manson connection.

Shouldn't that be the other way around? Besides, Tim Burtons not very renowned for using lots of Digital Effects in his movies.

burton is PERFECT for directing (hell, playing!) wonka. the original charley & the chocolate factory book ***IS*** dark! hell, the working title of the original 1971 film was rumored to be "wonka's inferno" because all the children meet such grisly ends (save charley). roald dahl, who wrote the book and did the screenplay, is rumored to not like children very much at all, though he made millions during his life off of their parents buying his children books for them. so i think burton is perfect to bring these angles out.
Eh? reply

RE: He's a director for DARKER stories... reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on July 3, 2003 6:56 PM
I completely agree. Tim Burton is perfect for it. But, as the other is considered a classic, I'd like to see Gene Wilder team with Burton and star in it again. People tend to forget what a dark dramatic actor he can be and I'd love to see he, along with Burton, redo the film correctly, as the book and Dahl intended.
Roald Dahl... Child Advocate or Tyrrant? reply
Posted by cptnspoon19 (aaron@nycmail.com) on July 5, 2003 7:02 AM
If you look at any Roald Dahl book you'll see a child getting tyrranized in some way. Wonka did it to the "naughty" children in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Witches, they were turning kids into mice and killing them. In Matilda, the headmistress Trunchbull threw children and tortured them in cells. James and the Giant Peach, James was starved by his aunts I think it was. I don't know if he was trying to say that children are underestimated as human beings and can rise up over foes or that they deserve to be beat on because they're inferior.
Brent SPINER is perfect to play WONKA reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on July 8, 2003 8:54 PM
BRENT spiner
of Star Trek fame - I am not a Trekkie...
I said 4 years ago if they ever do a Wonka remake they have to Get Tim to do it and make it a bit darker and nightmarish - Also - that Brent Spiner is the Only actor I can see in the part of WILLY WONKA. VOTE FOR BRENT Chris Paradis

So is it going to happen er what? I think Mr Burton is the perfect guy for the twisted tale. I can see Johnny Depp playing the part of the psychotic and flamboyant Willy Wonka too.....they guy is tremendously talented and diverse. I would really like to see this come about.....must do some deeper snooping......have a great day all. :o)

i think marilyn manson would be a great willy! does anyone know who is gonna be will for sure? /Marilyn is a twisted guy in real life so he would be the perfect willy!!
marilyn manson reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on October 19, 2003 1:28 PM
i think that Tim Burton should direct and marilyn manson should play wonka!i dont see why there is any disscussion here.manson would be absolutely PERFECT for wonka.he thinks like him and is he is well spoken in every day life.IF ANYONE INVOLVED WITH THE FILM IS READING THIS,LET MANSON HAVE THE PART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RE: marilyn manson reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on October 21, 2003 5:52 AM
YOUR RETARDED, why whould you want Manson to play Wanka, Depp is favor of all Burton films, Depp a great acter who is the best person for this film, Manson whould NOT, and i repeat, whould NOT be suited to play Wonka what so ever, thats the same as saying Woody Allen whould be a great candidate for Wonka. Neither of them work out for the creative and marvelous mind of Tim Buton. So enough of the Manson BS.
RE: marilyn manson reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on October 21, 2003 5:58 AM
NOO YOU, Manson is NOT the man for Wonka, hes not that twisted in real life, hes an artist with a different style of creativity, as said before, Depp is the perfect choise of any and most of Burtons films, besides, why whould Manson play the role of a eccentric candy maker in the first place, id think he has had enough of Willy Wonka crap, with all those rumors of him being Charlie in the the original 1970s verson. DIE SCUM.

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on October 21, 2003 4:46 PM
guys,haven't you heard
Depp has already been handed the part.Depp is the one who wants manson to have it.in a statement depp said this"its an exciting possibility for me to go and do another film with tim.it would be a ball.i'll keep all my digits crossed as it were.that said i'd go and see manson as wonka, i'd go see him do anything."

Grandpa Joe really must be played by Don Knotts, it's simply too perfect. Really, Burton ought pay my suggestion some mind, seeing as I have (rather had) a Grandpa Joe, and he was rather Knottslike, as I recall.
RE: johnny depp reply

did johnny depp's words confuse you? he said he wanted manson to have the part. now i am a huge depp fan,but i'm a manson fanatic!if depp
has been handed the part
[which he has]and says he wants manson to have it,manson gets,end of story!

i didnt know tha depp was handed the part, thats awsome that guy is awsome not only can he play a good pirate, but now hes gonna make a good wacked out candy man, thats sick i really like that idea of him having the part, manson on the other hand, hes a genious he knows how to get peoples attention, but im not into twisted films and what not, i just think the dude is weird im not gonna hate on the guy but i just think hes weird thats all
RE: word wonka reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on December 2, 2003 1:20 PM
manson is a genious, that part you have right.but "twisted",not
quite.hes just a well spoken,politicaly correct man,with a great view on the world,thats all.but if you have any respect for johny,you would agree with me that manson is the perfect man for the genious wonka!

duh!who would not like to play the lead role of wonka?depp never said he did not want to play the role of
wonka,in fact he said he
did want to but he was going to give it to marilyn because they are
good friends,and depp wanted to give marilyn a chance to be in the spotlight[not that he is not already.]
RE: marilyn manson reply
Posted by horseslikeruleman (heyyou@hotmail.com) on December 18, 2003 11:58 AM
marilyn manson is a wonderful artist and would be wonderful as wonka because in this movie it is either basically giving into the senses and picking something good instead of picking the chocolate and candy that would give you the stomach akes. Think about this people!!!
Marilyn is the biggest subject of good and evil. He knows all aout that type of stuff!!!
I love him by the way and am also a poet myself but am only 14 years old!!
manson for wonka! reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on January 7, 2004 1:43 PM
sorry! daniel day-lewis will just have to wait for another movie to get a part in, because marilyn WILL GET wonka's part if he does want it[which according to his web site he defenitily does.]bottom line-if manson wants the part, manson gets the part!
Jonny Depp reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on January 13, 2004 5:45 PM
You guys are all crazy! First of all Manson is a crazy fool and The Cholate Factory would be a box office failier if he did it. The producers have no intentions to give it to him so you should all stop obsessing. Jonny Depp is the best canidate, and Burton loves him. Depp is just the right mixture between weird and accetable. People would go and see it, (especially if they saw Pirates!)and everything will be wonderful. So there!
RE: Jonny Depp reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on January 24, 2004 8:40 AM
you are right, the producers do not have any intentions of giving him the part,BUT DEPP DOES.there you overobsessed johnny depp fans go again shuting him down.depp says he wants marilyn to have the part!why can't you just agree with the man you like?isn't this what the whole conversation is about,giving depp what he wants?so do depp a favor, respect his wishes.oh yeah, and learn how to spell his name right!
manson???? reply

If tim Brton is making the re-make of Willy Wonka its gonig to be good just cause its Tim Burton, but i think they should have Marylon Manson in the movie, even if that is just a rumer its a great idea!
RE: willy reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on June 27, 2004 3:52 PM
jonny depp is awsome compared to that freak mariln manson.jonny depp would defentily be the best willy wonka.if marilin did it every thing would have to be black he is a freakin retard and all u peeps that like him a freakin retarded too .all the movies jonny depp has played in are a sucsess other than marilins 1 film i havent even hear the title ,.i bet u that if u ask anyone they would want jonny depp to play willy wonka . parents probably dont want to see that freak mariln playin some candy man on a movie they want a real actor like jonny depp .signed jonnys biggest fan
RE: marilyn manson reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on July 4, 2004 8:50 PM
Though Marilyn Manson will not be playing Wonka, I still believe that he would enjoy it himself, simply because he has always said that he doesn't want to take a part that people would expect. I highly doubt that many would expect such of a role from him. And he may add new kind of twist to the old story. Or at least give Wonka a new look, so to speak. Not in clothes or style, but in physical attributes.

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on July 21, 2004 8:21 AM
guys depp like everyone else has said over and over and over and over and over again would indeed do the part justice but give marilyn his props too. depp would bring in the crowds but would everyone want this deep and wonderful story to go poppy and mainstream instead of cult classic. the last thing i would want to see is a bunch of teenagers running around wearing t-shirts and boggins plastered with logos of willy wonka they purchased from hot topic. ahem, nightmare before christmas. leave this story to the true burton. he has yet to dissapoint and he will make the best decision. so don't worry about it!
