Topic: Film Marilyn Manson To Be Willy Wonka
By Acheron on January 31, 2001 9:32 AM

(Fox News)Yes, you read that right folks.  Marilyn Mason is going to be starring as Willy Wonka in the Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory remake.  And he's going to make him a truely evil character.

"I really see the movie as a metaphor. I see Willy Wonka as Satan because he presents people with the temptation of picking good and evil, and they all pick evil," Manson told London's Sun newspaper.

Tim Burton will be directing the remake, and it will be released through Warner Brothers.  It is sure to catch some grief from parents around the country.

Personally, I don't like Marilyn Mason as a performer.  And his image is more than a bit disturbing.  But I do like him as a writer, and do recognise that he is extremely intelligent.  I think this will translate well to film.  Because of this I think that this might be very interesting.

No word yet on when it is supposed to start filming.

This story is complete bullsh*t.  There are numerous rumors about Manson's supposed starring role.... They are absolutely untrue.

I don't have a problem with Marilyn Manson in a movie, but the story of Willie Wonka was a happy one in which he tries to find a child to take over his candy factory.  It shows that he is a truly caring person which is why I'm confused with fact that this will be an evil portrayal of the character.

listen a--hole you nor any of your faggot friends will ever be able to appreciate anything by Reverend Manson because it takes such an underacheiver like yourself to dis him, and Korn never said they was goth, I happen to be a fan of both bands, and so many people have bad things to say about Manson, well if you would look at his lyrics and the way he presents himself it is all an act, he is portraying charectors in his album, any other time when he is on mtv or something he is as nice as could be, but you wouldnt know that because you spend so much time hating, doesnt your so called christian bible teach you to love everyone? well what is wrong with a 32 year old man named Brian Warner who calls himself Marilyn Manson? nothing, so either shut the hell up or tell Mr. Manson what you said to his face

man it has just got to be Johnny Depp as Wanka! Manson is a great performer in his own right(not to mention acting potential as seen in BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE -funny as hell), but Burton has experience with Depp and I personally believe it will be a more rounded movie with our dear Johnny.   As for who it will start and when it comes out? - Nothing have read or heard anywhere niether confirms nor denies anything.  Time will tell

"Nuff said" is a saying comic legend Stan Lee uses. So stop making assumptions. Why judge what you don't know ? Same goes for Manson. A bunch of dumbasses say stuff that they HEARD. They know nothing about him therefore they can say nothing about him.   In addition I've noticed many who pass judgement on him to have very bad spelling and grammar which proves my point:
They're dumbasses.

Dear friend,
Have you ever actually investigated the character of Marylin Manson?  As much as you christians b*tch about EVERYTHING, you never do bother checking into things, now don't you?

Yes, yes, bothered one.  Tell me how his image says "nuff" and how assumptions always mirror reality.  Was Jesus not assumed evil at first too?  Knowledge is power, dear ape.

You and all of your "random" flock are reasons why I LOATHE chrisitans.  God, on the other hand, is loved by me.

hey, you f*cking freak, you talk nothing but sh*t.  the reason why Manson cannot be Willy Wonka is because he is not worthy of being a great acting individule.  He hides behind his make-up and f*cked up eye's just to get attention, if you ask me The Zodiac Killer was more of a pioneere, Manson is just a lame excuse for teenagers being wanting to be so called free from parental rule( get a f*cking job first you little bastards).  Anyway to me manson is just a stupid obnoxious a--hole loser who depends on props and make-up.  With out them he's nothing.  Manson will never be a Metallica, Led Zeppelin, The Who and so on all the greats for their times. So i say Manson is not good enough to be Willy wonka.

To the person who said Manson will never be the Who or Metallica? Everyone said The Who and Metallica would never make it. Both bands fought 'the norm' and that is why they still exist. Manson will do the same. Do not get me started on those money grubbing whores Metallica.

What do you think "Stairway to Heavan" means ?
It's easy to listen to the music, but it's harder to understand it. People dislike what they don't understand, which is most likely why you don't like Manson.

I can't believe anyone who would compare Manson's music to his acting. It's not our decision, it's the movie studio's. By the way, have you people who dis him read Marilyn's autobiography? He really is a funny, nice, smart person, and Wonka was his idol as a kid. If he were to play Wonka, he would pour his heart into it, wouldn't you, if you got the chance to portray your idol?

Manson will make this disturbing character of Wonka's SO MUCH MORE BELIEVABLE.

i liked the film first time around but Marilyn Manson would make it 100000000 times better he's smart and a person who proves it aint bad to be different  . Tim Burton is an utter genius and would do a kick ass version look @ "nightmare befor christmas", "batman",   "sleepy hollow" and "beetlejuice". I dont give one if others dont wanna see it i think ur stupid if u dont! willy wonka  to me has always been a bit evil Manson would be one of the only people that could do the role justice these days

willy wonka and the chocolate factory is about the seven deadly sins and the coruption of youth and the world itself. It is an utterly spooky story to begin with. It only suits the story to have the most shocking man in music to play the role of willy wonka. He is the one who temps the children with the sinful treats.
too bad marilyn manson isn' playing will wonka. The children already have their version of this story. They need a spooky one to suit the deviants in this world. They'll probably just screw it up like How the grinch stole christmas.

Sorry to be the one to tell you, but the world isn't a nice place (you have yourselves to blame for this). I believe the story to be a journery through temptation and sin. It's a story of greed and yearning. Many (almost all) of the children who come to the chocolate factory give in to these temptations and fall victim through their own sins. Because the book is about real temptations (although metaphorically)I think they should portray the movie any way necessary to get the point across. I really would have thought religous people would want to see something like this. Too bad they're so narrow minded to know what really goes on in this world.

Marilyn Manson is great. He doesnt have to be what people call normal just to make a movie, or anything. People need to learn to open up their minds, and start execepting new ideas. He may not be what the parents see as a proper role model, but do you see Britney Spears as a proper role model? She is supposed to be Teen material, well she is out posing for playboy and crap like that. That isnt a proper role model either. SO why dont we open up our minds people....

2. His acting credits primarily entail him playing himself--not exactly a r�sum� for a major role in a big budget picture.

On the whole, this doesn't sound too promising.

Have you ever seen the Dope Hat video he does a great portrayal of Willy Wanka ..... He wrote the intro to the Boat ride anyway..... "theres no earthly way of knowing which derection we are going is it raining is it snowing is a hurricane a blowing not a speck of light is showing that must mean the danger must be growing for the rowers keep on rowing and theirs is no sign that they are slowing ... yada yada"

You moron. How much crack are you smoking?? Marilyn Manson was barely alive, if he was even born, when that line in the boat came out. He will ruin the movie. This is a happy comedy in which a poor, deserving boy finally sees some light at the end of the tunnel. I don't care how intellegent Manson is or how hes a normal guy off stage. He's a creep on stage. I'm not some God loving guy, I just think a great classic movie should stay a great, classic movie.

Ying/Yang.. balance.. you can't have good without bad, be it good actors and bad actors or good characters and bad characters..

I think a fresh look at the story should be good - in the original, Willy Wonka *IS* quite evil particularly at the end going on about contracts & small print..

I'm wondering now whether The Great Glass Elevator was written to soften the blow of the true W.W. character - as I recall he's pretty sedate through that one.

In addition, the character of Willy Wonka IS disturbing. I feel Manson is fit for the character. I mean if Gene Wilder can play Willy Wonka (who plays a beautiful nut) I see no reason why Manson could not pull it off.

I do not live in a bubble and don't particularly care if Manson ever utters another public word. Be certain, I would never ever tell you not to enjoy Mansons creations, not in a million years but do we really need to pursue this any further as it has already been established that he will NOT be in the remake? I don't think so. However, it did make for some really interesting discussions. Very spirited.

Dude i don't think that an artist that re-uses other artist songs at all talented.  Manson is one of those artist.  Besides with out the shock quality of his image he's a nothing.  Even worse you would probably be a better person than his true self.  He hides behind his make up and mismatched eyes to feel like an outcast and people like you feel pitty for him and buy his music.  Now im not saying he dosen't have a write to do what he wants but don't try and sell me Manson as ART.  I think that if you came to me and told me "hey listen to this music, i would probably like it, but when i see a figure such as manson it all goes out the window....Example KISS they are not known for being exceptional song writers, if you disagree then you don't know what good music writting is about...."
my point is manson is not ART...

obviously you didn't listen to the umpa lumpa's or you were a spoiled rotten little kid like the ones in the movie.  Yes i agree that wonka was a bit harsh, but heck i would too if i was giving away my dream factory and everything that i have worked hard for.
Plus the children in the movie were just brats that were anoying and wanted everything, while charlie was the hero of all those kids that are diprived and come from poor families. I don't think that a classic suc has this deserves such a low blow and even to become a horror story. If anything they should stop making pg-13 movies and making them more bloddy and scarry instead of them being cheesy.

And I believe Manson would be able to reprise the role of Willy as an Evil sob with no problem. (just look at him) and we do know he is an intelligient, if odd looking individual

Putting asside that I am 25, and I also have a strong dislike for Manson, I think he will mess it up like most remakes.
In todays time, remakes of things are common, but some are good, and others just mess up the classic.
Willy Wonka is a classic childrens movie, and manson should havenothing to do with it.

This is to all the delusional f*cks out there who think this classic movie is a nice childrens movie harbering "happy memories of childhood",

Lets face it, this is one f*cked up movie!!!

a)Wonka owns a slave race of Oompa Loompas
forced to work round the clock, and sing catchy slave songs,

(racial discrimination??)

b)They are forced to sign a contract without
knowing what their agreeing to,

(selling their souls?)

c) The boat and tunnel
scene, "faster & faster..." aka Portrait,
Need I say more?

d)they drink a "magical drink", and float toward huge fans,

E) Augustus drowns in a
pool of chocolate, and is then suffocated in a pipe while his mother watches,

F)The bubblegum girl gets turned into a bloated blue round thing and is rolled away by the "slaves"
to be Juiced!!!

(dont ask me how they did that)

theres an endless list of disturbing events in this movie without even going into Wonkas persona and his true motives behind his actions.

But n e who, Manson would make a f*ckin rad
Willy Wonka.

Pity Tim Burton would f*ck it all up.

I think everyone blathering here has missed on big thing: before there were movies, there were books. Yes, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory the movie was filled with music and "seeming" happiness, (see two posts above) but THE BOOK by Roald Dahl, kinda disturbing. Tim Burton is the perfect director for such a twisted tale, and Manson is my pick for Wonka, a truely sick individual. Although Nicholas Cage would be "wonderful" because we all LOVED 'Gone in 60 Seconds'. Basically, if you want happy sappy stuff and bad songs, rent the old one. I'm excited to see the real stuff for a change.

what i see this boile down to is
if there is going to be a remake of the classic (which we all know is true) what would you rather see... a copy starring Cage in a fun filled movie the whole family can watch .. or change...
Cage could make a good wonka .. but manson has watched the movie since he was a kid.. he has his own interpretation of the movie, and probably knows all of the lones already.. out of any actor who could remake it.. manson is by far the best choice in my view
the movie was f*cked up, i only saw it a year ago and i think it was f*cked ....
and Marilyn Manson will make a great Wonka

As i See it Marilyn Wants to Be Willy WOnka as for all i know its is faverite movie, all of his portrait of an american family adn Smells Like Children was all based around Willy Wonka

Why cant he do it i think he can, he'll make a perfect Willy Wonka, and whos to say that Mister Willy Wonka was Good any Way or a Childrens film the candy could be interpreted as drugs in a crack factory, and obviously Roald Dalh was on sometihng when he wrote it

Any way I think that all of you who think that Marilyn WOuldnt be Perfect Should take their Heads out of Their Arses and look at the Great BIg White WOrld (We are Drained of our COlours)in which we Live

It all depends on how it is done.  The great thing about the original is that it can be viewed on two different levels:  the cute little kiddie movie, and the darker level that shows the flaws in humanity.  Everyone but Charlie over indulged without feeling remorse, and everyone was taken away to an unspeakable fate except for Charlie.  Sure, he drank the floating liquid, but he and his grandfater were sorry, and therefore where the heroes of the story.  Some movies just aren't appreciated when viewed on the simplest level.  I, for one, saw the movie's darker side when I was a mere tyke, and it scared me.  As long as Burton and Manson don't turn it into a slasher/thriller, it should be a good movie.  Let us just hope that, no matter who stars in it or directs it, it turns out better than the recent tide of remakes (anyone see Charlie's Angels?  Anybody, anybody?  Beuller, Beuller?).

Willy Wonka is my favorite movie and my personal opinion is leave it alone, wether it is Maralyn Manson or Tim Burtin or anyone else, I think that Gene Wilder is a genious.  that is just what I think, but that is fine if you think different.  See how I did that with out bieng so jugdemental?  so in closing i would just like to say... "Give Peace a chance."(John Lennon)

willy womka is a severly unhinged person.  he is mad, crazy, bonkers.  i think it would be a perfect cast if manson played him.  
also, i don't think the movie was ever a warm hearted childrens movie. it was pretty dark and almost sadistic.
i think tim burton will do a superb job and i look forward to seeing it!

Listen up. Simply stated all I've ever heard it takes to be an actor (since I don't know myself) is that it takes heart, character, and enthusiasm. Now if you've ever listened to ANY of Manson's albums, seen him live, or heard anything from him, you'll know he is all of those things. He loves what he does. Now in the book Willy Wonka, WW is an evil character. Besides even if he weren't Manson would add a new spin on an old classic. Thank you and good night.

I have read marilyn manson's book he is very intelligent and i think he would make a great willy wonka people are very selfish in their oppinions you shouldn't say sh*t you don't know nobody is normal. some people think they know it all and there as twisted as the people they define as crazy. he will do just as good as any actor could do although he is not afraid to express himself like others which would make him better at what he can an already has done. so be open minded and except what is going to happen.

I'm so sick and tired of people claiming to understand the great truths of the universe about "normalcy" and "art," but who can't even read a damn post without jumping to conclusions!

1) Whether or not you like something has nothing to do with whether or not its "art." If you don't like Manson, that doesn't mean his music isn't art. Likewise, if you DO like Manson, that doesn't mean his work IS art. Your personal f*cking tastes are not the determiner of "art," even if your ego is swollen enough that you think anyone cares.

2) Just because someone doesn't like Manson doesn't mean they are automatically Christian. By assuming they are, you're just falling into the same trap that assumes that Manson is evil because he's "different" from the so-called mainstream. Furthermore, you're showing your own stupid assumptions about the world! A Manson-hater might in fact be Jewish, Hindu, Muslim... or even Pagan, agnostic, atheist, or something else entirely. Don't preach about people having to listen to and recognize Manson as brilliant if you can't stop your idiot mind from jumping to conclusions about their reasons for their opinions.

I don't care one way or the other about Manson and his music.  Nor do I care about Christianity. They're both part of the cultural landscape. But rabid, STUPID Mansonites are just as annoying as rabid, STUPID Christians to me.

Marilyn Manson would make an absoloutly PERFECT Willy Wonka.  He has the personality to shine at the role.... Truly, an evil portrayal of Willy Wonka is what it's always been... people just have bad perceptions of evil.  Willa Wonka was kind of a nut... Manson's kind of a nut... but in a good way... Manson is God (=  I'm God!  God is in all of us!  FIRE!

Surely the whole point of Willy Wonka is not that he is evil, but just that he is eccentric with a dark side.  How would he be so admired by the kids if he was some kind of monster?  It is a dark SIDE, it is not always apparent.  That's why Nick Cage would be better.  Have you ever seen his older stuff?  He's got the mad eyes for it.
Also, he's actually an actor, who will have the ability and experience to carry it off.  As much as you all seem to admire MM, it doesn't appear that he's made any films before.  I wonder how many studios would be prepared to finance a high budget film of this type with such a wildcard as the main pull?

as for the remake. ANYTHING tim burton does will be bad assed.  forget manson, while i like his music and live shows, he shouldn't be the main focus of this. tim burton is a cinematic genius...no matter who portrays who he will not let it be a bad movie.  besides, i think a twisted willy wonka would be sweet.  if you don't like the idea of it, don't watch it. simple.  or, in the case of the christians, if it turns out to be "evil" just try to ban it...god forbid we offend those rightous people.

Let Manson redo it, we need another version anyways.  The only reason the original wasn't evil-looking was so that you Ku-Klux-Khristians wouldn't b*tch about it.

The fact that people are so mad at this ENTERTAINER, blows my mind. If he makes you so mad, then don't see the damn movie, don't listen to his music, and when he is on T.V. turn the damn thing off. You are all idiots!!!  The man is a freak show, and that is what he wants AND THAT IS WHAT IS MAKING HIM RICH. So don't FUGGIN look if it bother's you enough that you have to call people who enjoy him FAGGOTS....I personally could care less either way, and think that he would be an excellent Wonka.....and am personally very excited to see what Burton and Manson can do together!

Listen up.  I'm not one of the average "groupies" on this website, and this is my only post, but I think I should grace people with a little bit of information.  The actual book was written by Roald Dahl. Lesson 1 is, Roald Dahl was not your average happy go lucky childrent's writer.  He was a really messed up guy.  None of his writing projects daisys and tulips popping up out of the ground with the sun smiling and children laughing.  Dahl mixes harsh reality.  Maybe Wonka doesn't represent Satan.  But he sure as hell isn't a kind, good hearted old man looking for someone to take over his chocolate factory.  The origional movie should not even be a comparison for wonka, because it was written by someone else, and is rarely like the book.  The movie was aimed stricly for children, and aimed to please and make kiddies wet themselves with rapture.  I haven't read a Dahl story that has made me do that yet.  In the book.  There are several likenesses between wonka and satan.  First off, look at the picture's of wonka.  He's a short little guy with a goatee, and small, beady eyes.  I half expected to see horns when he took his hat off the first time I read it.  As for his personality, (this is getting way too long, so I'm through knocking with details, read the book) he's not kind.  If he's not satan, or an associate, he's at least crazy.

There's a lot of controversy on this board, and I'd like to post my opinion. Mason is a great artist, not just limiting him to music. I've seen paintings by him, and they are very good. His music is another VERY high point. I'm no freak, I'm not popular, i'm a christian, but not to the extreme as most of you think we are. In my point of view Wonka was a good character, at least in my childhood.I then watched the movie recently and saw it in a whole new light. It's about greed, gluttony, and all sorts of evils. Marilyn Manson is an exceptional choice to play Wonka, though the fun loving view of him from the original will be torn apart, and I don't mind. Manson reveals what Roald Dahl might have been implying when he wrote the book. And if you're going to insult me, don't waste the screen space, I don't read those little one liners that insult people because of their views on art, that's just childish!

This was found on Marilyn Mansons website.
But I have to say, given Mansons taste for flair and entertainment, I think he would be perfect in the role of Willy Wonka. That's just my .02

Johnny Depp speaks on Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory remake  
Johnny Depp is keen to take on the lead role in Tim Burtons's, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory remake, but he'll happily step aside if rocker Marilyn Manson wants the part.

Manson and Depp are the only names in the running to recreate the beloved ROALD DAHL eccentric, and Depp admits the rocker would be the perfect Wonka.

He says, "It's an exciting possibility for me to go back 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 Willy Wonka. I'd go and see him in anything."

For all of you who are bashing Christians, stop!Didn't you know that NOT all christians are extremley religeous, follow the bible to the slightest detail, and hate Manson? They are individual people too, although they blindly allow the bible to make a lot of decisions for them, they still have their own opinions.
p.s.:I think manson would make a great WW. Even as a child, I watched the original movie, and could sense that something wasn't quite right with Mr.Wonka, I believe he was supposed to be evil, and when the movie ended, and WW hadn't eaten anyone, or poisoned anyone,(as I was expecting the whole time), I felt like I was being led into a false sense of security. I think MM would do a great job portraying WW, and hey, even if he doesn't, Johnny Depp's really hot too.Also, for all those dumbasses who are calling everyone freaks, keep it up. Everyone's a freak to some extent, wether you would like to admit it or not, and I encourage it, that's what makes everyone an individual, or at least a little bit more interesting.And yeah, it is really funny if you read it all the way through, keep it going!

However, I am severely disappointed that Manson is not getting this part as he is my favourite musician and my favourite PERFORMANCE ARTIST. His image is one thing, and I love his twisted but realist views... And his music also rules and he has major talent in music production. Sure his voice isn't sweet or a particulary good one... but its real and human and we can all relate to it... just like his songs.

I think that perhaps the movie needed Manson
's fresh creative ideas because I certainly believe a movie where Wonka is slightly demented and evil would be a very interesting one... I think that Manson has very gripping personality that would really be great...

So, in conclusion:
Marilyn Manson rules!
Johnny Depp rules! (And he has got the part)
Christians are generally blind followers
Anyone who hates Manson or thinks he is an attention seeker is ignorant.
Marilyn Manson wears the make up and does the things he does for
PERFORMANCE ART... He IS playing characters in his albums... (Omega :D) But yeh... read a little about him and then listen to some of his songs (His new album rules! along with Mechanical Animals... Holy Wood is really good too...)

Thank you
Brett

I believe this will be a movie you won't forget. Manson will either make it or break it. I think his style and sence of morbid reality is perfectly acceptable. We've already gone so far, why not go all the way.

It is all rumor nothing has been established yet.  No one knows whos going to portray Wonka because Tim Burton doesn't know who is going to be Wonka.  For all we know it could be Manson, Johnny Depp, Jim Carey or Julie Roberts so stop assuming stuff. And besides nobody can pull of Wonka like Gene Wilder.

Although manson is undoubtedly a talented person, i think it would be a bad idea for manson to play a role like this.  Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory is a kids story and manson has never been an entertainer to kids.  Dont get me wrong, I highly admire and respect manson for his talents but i think everyone would agree that they dont want to see the "Anti-Christ Super Star" playing the role of Willy Wonka.
