Tim Burton's Willy Wonka:   > reply

Posted by NoraMae (noral@c-zone.net) on November 11, 2004 6:55 AM

*I'm* looking foward to this movie.  I've seen the original Willy Wonka and I absolutely love it - it's a CLASSIC!  

I really think Tim Burton will do this movie justice.  He's an excellent director!  

And if you consider all of the different styles of characters that Johnny Depp has played, then you'd realize that he'd be great for the role of Willy Wonka.  He's not just some bland big-name actor with no depth.  He actually has talent!

I really think this will be a good movie.  If anyone could pull it off, it would be Tim Burton.

"Depp looks more like Willy WANKER. What a poof!"
Sorry but I have to comment on this.
The minute I saw the thread link Willy Wonker I knew that somewhere even with only one comment the word Willy Wanker would appear.  I was even prepared to write it myself if horror of horrors it didn't appear itself.  Just goes to show that some names will always be mocked regardless of context. What possessed Dahl to give the main character a name with such easy derision attached to it.  he might as well have called it Burt Forker.  I am childish I know.  

Anyway the film looks like it will keep fairly close to the book so good luck to I guess.

I totally agree. The classic movie was absolutely amazing. There can only be one willy wonka, and Gene Wilder was IT.

Johnny Depp looks like a transvestite. Doesn't bear any resemblance to the desciption of him in the book. He just looks like he's in drag!

Not going to see this film, just going to get the original and best out, and watch it over and over.
There can be no other.

Nobody is trying to fix anything. If you really are true fans of the original, you should appreciate the creativity and work of Tim Burton. He's a genius, and so is Johnny Depp.

i think willy wonka was written in a simpler time, when children were innocent and didn't get any masturbation connotations.
But they *really* should have followed the description in teh book.  not convinced by the costume, Wilder was good, but Depp has the potential to be better

Look, I regard myself as a Wonka traditionalist.  I am beside myself that Burton is making a remake.  By the way, it's okay to resent that, and still think that Burton is a genius - which I don't, and still think that Depp is a genius - which I REALLY don't.  They are talented, but genius?  Come on!  Orson Welles was a genius, Elia Kazan, another genius.  Let's not go crazy here.
Gene Wilder is, and will always be Willy Wonka.  End of story!

You have to keep in mind that this remake isn't a musical. This movie is following the Roald Dahl novel more closely than the first one and it will not be like the Gene Wilder movie was. Also keep in mind that it's being directed by Tim Burton so it'll be a little darker. Don't expect it to be like the original because it won't be.

RE: Willie Wonka   > reply

Ask anyone what an Umpa Lumpa looks like and they'll say an orange midget with green hair. It might have been different in the book but the movie version is what everyone remembers.

Whoever left one of the first comments about the oompa loompas, have you actually read this book? What totally ruined the first version of this movie way back when was the stupid midgets with orange skin and green hair singing crap limmericks. They, thank god, were not in the book. Tim Burton stayed as true to the book as possible, name and all. This movie will be so much better than the original.

Johnny Depp will transform this version into THE version. He does it every time, and if you dont know this, then prepare to find out. Take a look at a handfull of his other roles - Sam in 'Benny and Joon' for example, or Agent Sands in 'once upon a time in mexico'. Dont knock Depp.  He's the most talented actor around, and he's a lovely lovely guy.

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on November 15, 2004 6:23 AM

I loved the original and its demented/twistedly innocent nature, however it strayed very far from the book in so many ways. I hope this new one steps a little closer to the story and includes some of the tibits that were originally cut out in the first one. Depp is a very talented actor although at times he can't ALWAYS save a movie. (Once Upon A Time In Mexico wasn't THAT great.) Tim Burton is a directorial genius. I have no doubt in my mind that together again, they will recreate Willy Wonka into a masterpiece. Personally, I hope they make the lesser known sequel book into a movie as well "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator" where the elevator went into space, Charlie and family ran into Vermicious Kinids, and they travelled deep underneath the factory to a place called Minusworld, I believe. Gosh Dahl was awesome!

Book vs Movie   > reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on November 15, 2004 10:16 AM

Some of you people seem like the type that watch the movies instead of the reading the books, then complain when your professor calls you on it by failing your essay.

I absolutely love the original movie, and I read the book years ago before I had even seen it.  The first movie was based _loosely_ on the book.  Yes, the movie was great, but it tore the book apart, and made it much lighter so that some song and dance could be added to make it a little kid's movie.

I'm confident Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are going to do the book plenty of justice, and I hope that more of you will realize the difference in the two movies.  I'm looking forward to seeing a movie _of_ the book, not a musical _about_ the book.

the reason that none of the pictures look like the old movie is because burton is going directly from the book!!!  when he had the person write the script he told him to just read the book and not watch the movie.  when has burton ever let us down?  not with the first two batmans or beetlejuice and not with BIG FISH!! when did depp let us down?? not in edward scissorhands or ed wood and DEFINITELY not in pirates of the caribbean...how can looking at pictures give any sort of justice what these professionals are creating???

Marilyn Manson vs. Depp?   > reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on November 16, 2004 5:47 AM

Alright. Who was it that started this strange notion that Manson could ever act, let alone play the part of Willy Wonka?
Depp is one of the best actors of our time, and you're saying that Manson should play the role instead?
Also, yes Depp looks a little fruity, but that's no reason to curse or toss around the term 'gay' so freely. Surely you have enough brains to express yourself without cursing or personally insulting a person who's just doing his job. Honestly, it's just a movie! (A movie that I'm very much looking forward to, but just a movie nonetheless.)

RE:   > reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on November 16, 2004 6:45 AM

Geez, there are a lot of "Willy Wonka" fans that don't realize that the book was written before the movie.  How can you be "beside yourself" that there this new movie is going to be more faithful to the book?  Before complaining about who is cast and who the director is, read the book and watch the original movie.  You will see discrepancies and realize that Depp is a much more faithful looking Willy Wonka than Gene Wilder was.  Willy Wonka was a thin, eccentric, wiry man...  not a blond-haired, round-faced vocalist.  Also, the Oompa-Loompas did sing songs in the book.

THE FILM IS NOT A REMAKE. I REPEAT: THE FILM IS NOT A REMAKE.

It's clear who isn't a REAL fan and who is a real fan. The ones who aren't real fans are the ones saying it's a remake of a masterpiece and whatnot.

Any REAL Willy Wonka fan knows that Johnny's version is actually following the book. This is the version Roald would have wanted. I bet some of you fake fans didn't even know that Roald actually hated Gene Wilder's version.

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on November 17, 2004 5:24 AM

Marilyn Manson tried out for Willy Wonka and him and Johnny Depp were the last two choices for the part.

Obviously Burton wanted Depp for some unknown reason...maybe its Manson's rep that didn't get him the part...

Im sure the movie will turn out fine, some will be disapointed but Burton tends to follow the story, not the movie made before it so it sohuld prove very interesting.

First of all, before you all get your heads shoved too far up your asses and run around saying "they aren't following the book, they're making parts of the movie creepier than they should be"... READ THE BOOK.

Second of all, how can any of you make a judgement that "parts of the movie are too creepy in comparison to the book" when YOU HAVE YET TO SEE THE MOVIE. That's like saying "man the year 2005 was great, except when my Grandma got hit by a tractor". You just make yourself sound even more like someone who should have been an abortion.

Thirdly, Burton and Depp have already publically stated that it isn't there intention to try to upstage the original, because it's obvious that the original, and Gene Wilder, are classics.

Now pull your little panties out of their bunches and find something more worthwhile to do than get online and whine about a movie based on a book that most of you probably didn't even know existed.

Book vs Movie 1 vs Movie 2   > reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on November 21, 2004 5:47 AM

If you saw the Gene Wilder version without reading the book, it's likely that you consider it to be "the" authentic version.  If you read the book first, you may have been disappointed with the movie.  I consider the book to be "the real thing," but have grown to appreciate the movie as well.

I think that Burton is brilliant, that Depp is unbelieveably talented, and that therefore it's impossible to predict what the new movie will be like.  For the most part, I'm expecting the unexpected, expecting only to enjoy it hugely -- on its own merit, not in competition with the book or the first movie.

The problem with Hollywood today is that the studio heads are too chicken-$#!t to try something new.  This film may not be a remake in your eyes, but A) the story line, title, and characters have already been captured on celluloid. B) CATCF already has a fan base.  C) CATCF was originally a book therefore, a ?remake? - not an original script.

I have learned not to second-guess a Depp performance; no matter what role he creates.  He can be in one of my movies any day.  You can?t go wrong with a Burton-Depp-Elfman-Neill or Owen (makeup) combination.  Guys that make fun of the very talented AND beautiful tend to be lashing out because they are jealous.

And in conclusion:  THANK GOD IT?S NOT A MUSICAL!!!  Not that Depp could not pull it off, because I have all confidence in him, but I tend to squirm while a single thought is being repeatedly dragged out for 3 & ? minutes.

Looking forward to the release!

I hve a few things to say...
One) You cannot go into the film expecting it to be better, no one could do that, you have to expect difference, it will be different, still good, still entertaining, but different, Burton did not go out and try to make it better, it has been said by himslef and Depp they could not make it better, just different...now that you have that understood...
even though he is following more closely to the book, it does not mean he is going presicely by the book...so what if the oopma loompas arent exactly the same, so what if willy wonka doesnt look like the books description to a t...the whole story in general will be closer to the book than the original...so stop complaining about how it isn't ever going to be better than the first, or how it isn't exactly as the book...it is a film made by a talented man, with many talented actors which will be a very good movie...just let the complaining rest, and shit, the movie isnt even out yet...nor is it even done filming....

I'd just like to say well done to you for telling everyone to bloody well calm down. People started to get a bit over the top on some of their remarks especially to do with the Willy WANKER stuff *yawn*. Nobody expects remakes to be better than the original, different directors just want to try it their own way and alter the look. Any fans of Tim Burton's work like myself will be eager to see what he has done with this film. I do have to agree with some people that Johnny Depp does not look his best in this film but that's one of the reasons I admire him, he is an amazing actor and not afraid to act the weirdo of the film like in Edward Scissorhands or Benny and Joon for example. Oh and also, some of you people writing your own comments should learn that everyone has their own opinions and you can't force your own onto someone else, no one can be right when are expressing your own thoughts.

Johnny Depp actually almost turned the part over to The Anti-Christ Superstar, but Manson turned it down. Now that would have made the movie about 50x darker than Depp's version.

This is not a true re-make of the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory movie, it is adapation of Charlie and the Chocolate factory-The original book. If anyone has read this book, they would notice that there is quite a difference in the Gene Wilder version compared to the book. This movie is rumored to be more like the book, thus it's title "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".
I am very optimistic of it's turn out. The pics look great.

Compare Johnny to Gene all you want, but Tim Burton, along with his dream team of Johnny, Helena Bonham-Carter, and Danny Elfman, will create a new filmthat only a film maker and an actor with such talent and perspective can successfully pull off.

RE: Book vs Movie   > reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on December 3, 2004 3:33 PM

I would just like to point something out to all of you fuckers, Roald Dahl wrote the first movie, it was his vision on film. H ewnated it to be different from the book so don't go saying that they tore the book apart in the original because tearing it apart would be some dbag going and doing whatever they felt to the novel, the fact that Dahl did it makes it ok because it's his own literature. Second of all this isn't a remake of the original, it's a new telling of the book, totally different concept all together, kind of like how Planet of the Apes was not a remake but a "reimagining" yes I know it sucked but whatever. Let Tim make the movie and if it's a failure whatever. All I know is I'll be at the midnight show if there is one. Now you can all go to hell

To end all these arguments about oompa loompas and how the characters dont match up to the book, this movie will be a more faithful adaptation of the book than the original! The guy that wrote the screenplay, John Augest, has never seen the orgiginal movie and only based it on the book. This movie has been promised to be a darker adaptaion, like the book. Next time you go on a wild rant, why dont you know what you talking about

There was an earlier comment made that everyone needs to look at.  If not, then I'll repeat it for ya.  The first Chocolate Factory movie wasn't soley based off of Dahl's book.  Burton is changing that and is going to be more loyal to the book.  If you loved the original, then read the book and go see this one because with Tim Burton directing it and Johnny Depp in it, it's sure to hit big!

Johnny Depp is an excellent actor, Tim Burton is an excellent director and Roal Dahl was an excellent writer. That's why I'm looking forward to this film. Gene Wilder's Wonka was impressive, but I never got the darker feel in that film that I get when reading the book. That is why this film is perfect for Burton. I'm not sure if it's been said already, but the picture of the Oompah Loompah appears to be the guy who plays Mr Soggybottom in Burton's Big Fish.

If they want to do a Manson version, that'd be cool too. It would be like a freaky horror film. I'd love it if they did both, frankly. I'm a Johnny Depp, Tim Burton, Roald Dahl, and Marilyn Manson fan and proud of it.

Whoever is having doubts about Tim Burton and Johnny Depp in 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' (July 15th US, July 29th UK 2005) should seroiusly go rent some Tim Burton and Johhny Depp collaborations-'Edward Scissorhands', 'Sleepy Hollow'. Johnny Depp rocks in 'Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl'. If you haven't seen it why not! I have every faith in this remake, i am so excited about it.

JOHNNY DEPP IS IN CHARACTER. He doesn't look kike a poof or whatever, whoever said that.
Thats what actors/actresses do, they get made over as a character so that they can play the role and it adds more to the role.
Would you have preferred Captain Jack Sparrow without the pirate costume/makeup. Or maybe Edward Scissorhands without the Scissorhands.

I think that comment just sums up the general stupidity that some of you folk seam to be holding on to.

Having just read the entire conversation, I think it's fair to say;
Stop taking this whole thing quite so seriously.
Those of you who want to see the film, you'll see it and I hope you enjoy it, those devotees of the first film, don't see it and reminisce over the first film.
The original was a fantastic book, the film of this book was (as a piece of  filmography) very good, Burton's new film, will (I hope) be equally as good, but I will not be comparing the two. There is no point. At all. Like many of you have said. The "original" film was quite far away from the book, but I think you'll agree that it was still a good film. Those of you who are so (strangely) aggravated by the thought of the remake...why such hostility? Do you feel the same about the Lord of the rings/ shall you feel the same about the up-and-coming "Phantom of the opera" This film (Phantom) is said to be a "re-make" of the musical and not the book, as such, are we to protest?
NO! - We?ll embrace what we're being offered.
Do we not?
- As far as im aware, none of you, or myself, are Johnny Depp, Burton, or indeed in quite the same business as them, so how can we give them such agro? They are both very good in their chosen fields,
as was Dahl,
and wilder.
Lets remain broad-minded guys?
It?s a big world.

Thanks for listening.

The screenwriter for this film read the book and wrote the play NEVER HAVING SEEN THE 1971 VERSION (though, he must have lived in a closet somewhere all these years... you can't escape that movie...).  Therefore, it is not intended to be a remake of the 1971 film, but a film interpretation of Roald Dahl's original text.  So, get over your clouded preconceptions and just watch the movie when it comes out and enjoy... bah...

Willy Wonka has a PURPLE jacket, if im not mistaken i do believe Johnny Depp's is BROWN! if you havent noticed the colour makes a slight difference?!?!?!?! As much as i like J depp, he doesnt look like the part but i say he'll act the part to his best, which will be quite cool! Cant wait to actually see it!! DEAD KENNEDYS rock!!!!!!!!!!!!1

those of you who think Gene Wilder played the best Willy Wonka, you're right and wrong. Gene Wilder fit the perfect role for a happy willy wonka, but if you ask me or anyone we all know Johnny Depp would fit the role for a wired quirky willy wonka. the 1971 version was an altered version of the book, Burton is doing the Book version it's not that hard to understand. so if you're arguing about whos better as wonka just read this and look at "who'd be better for each of the 2 roles", Gene for a happy wonka, Johnny for a Quirky wonka. Gene wilder was yesterday sadley enough but c'mon Johnny Depp is today, be happy it wasn't anyone like Orlando Bloom or Decaprio playing wonka. Johnny Depp has played more roles than almost anyone is hollywood, from a Notorious Cowboy Criminal to an Astronaut to an unstable pirate. Face it Johnny Depp is todays Willy Wonka and they coulnd't have chosen anyone better to play Wonka.

I don't think it's a matter of trying to out-do or re-do the first one -- i think it's a matter of, here is someone else's version of it, their take on the story.  it doesn't mean it's better or worse than the first one, just means it's Tim Burton's outlook on it, so respect him for his viewpoint -- i'm sure it's not about trying to be a *better one* than Gene Wilder's. Obviously it's a classic, and no one can out-do a classic.

also-- WHERE IS NOAH TAYLOR'S CHARACTER?  and if Christopher Lee is playing Wonka's father, how can you knock this version already when we have such quality actors like Lee?

Original screenplay   > reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on December 15, 2004 11:49 AM

For those who commented that Dahl wrote the original screenplay, so what was on screen was the film he wanted to make...

The studio was very unhappy with the Dahl screenplay, so David Selzer was brought in to compltely rewrite it (he introduced the whole Slugworth plotline) and Newley and Bricusse were commisioned to write brand new songs to turn it into a musical (which wasn't the original intention).

Dahl was furious with this treatment, and as a result pulled the rights to the  "Glass Elevator" sequel.

What is up there is, in my opinion, absolutely fantastic (and one of my favourite films) - but it certainly isn't what Roald Dahl wanted the film to be.

that's why they're not FIXING anything; they're taking a different approach. the cinematography, the characterization, the costuming, the visuals in general, the story line, and the inclusion of details are very different. it will be another look at the novel, not an improved take on the movie.

Johnny will be different at Willy than Gene was, but it will still be good. Everyone should give it a chance whether you enjoy johnny depp or not.

RE: ....   > reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on December 16, 2004 6:05 PM

I agree with you.  Noone is trying to "fix perfection".  That's why this is called a remake and not a revision.  This is just another version.  If you liked the 1st time, but you don't go see this one how do you call yourself a fan?  You can't completely be a fan without being open to other versions.  Maybe this one will be a little bit closer to the book.  I think noone can replace Gene Wilder,but that doesn't mean I don't think that Johnny Depp could be just as good.

The role of Wonka needs someone the kids can look up to, a role model they can trust and have faith in. Depp fits the bill, he is an excellent choice. I have not only seen the original film, but have read both the book  and it's sequel, Charlie & the Great Glass Elevator, which I am sad was never made into a movie. All that matters now is that the magical Mr Wonka is back to delight a new generation!

"i mean, he doesn't write the scipts [sic] to the movies, he just reads them."

Really, if you believe it to be so simple to act well then you must live in a fantasy world.

You should really try directing actors for film at least once... you'll quickly see that it takes a very special talent for a performer to act well, and yes--I would say it takes a level of genius to not only act well but also consistently create new believable characters.

Johnny Depp's range of ability is mind-blowing from a professional point of view. Stop and think about the variety of characters he's portrayed, each one defined by personality traits he's given them, that he's cultivated based on the script. The script is lifeless without the 'genius' of a talented actor.

RE: Book vs Movie   > reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on December 19, 2004 1:47 AM

Actually, R.D. wrote the first draft of the script to the "original".  Once it was complete and turned over to the movie studio, they changed it.  He never intended for this movie to be a musical, that was added to peak interest from kids.  He was incredibly unsatisfied with the original.  When the studio decided to make the "remake", the R.D. estate basically said, only if Tim directs it.  I have no idea if this will be more or less like the first one, but what does it matter?  I will go see it because I love Tim.

When the writer of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory saw the first version of the movie he was greatly dispointed because it was way darker than his book was.  So what I would be expecting is a fun, light hearted movie...not dark like the first one.

I'm a Marilyn Manson fan, but I don't think he would've done justice. I believe Johnny Depp will do great, he's a wonderful actor. Think about what you all are saying, you haven't even seen the movie. How can you judge it so early now? And his clothing seems more elegant. But if you think about it, he has money, people with money dress that way. I'm trying to put it in simple terms so ignorant people that only know how you curse can understand what I'm saying, I know you close-minded jerks won't because you're mind frame is set on one thing, but I had to add my two cents.

Damn right and manson would have made a better wonka, and depp will ruin the name of burton and willy wonka.  I dont even want to eat the candy anymore, because of Johnny Homo.

That just cracked me up.  Calling Depp a pouf and saying Manson (the one guy who actually DOES take it up the arse) should have played Wonka.

let's get some things straight, obviously (what, are you blind??) this film wont be an exact adaption of the book as there is only one parent for each child... sound familiar???
Also, Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka was perfect. just the right amount of joy, evil, quirkiness and hatrid for awful children!!  One question, where do people get this strange notion that Roald Dahl's book is soooo much 'darker' than the film, I personnaly think it's the other way around... Wonka's jacket was plum, which is closer to moron than purple, so let's leave that alone.  I am sure that the main reason Roald didn't like the original film very much was MAINLY due to all the political crap he had to go through with the studio.  For what it's worth I love Dahl, Burton, Depp, Manson, Wilder, Elfman, Bea Arthur and my mummy

Gene Wilder is and will always be the greatest original Willie Wonka.Just like Marilyn Manson will always be trully Brian Hugh Warner a true blue Wonkwer such as myself and as Johnny Depp and lots of other people who have actually been around when those 2 books and the oringinal movie first came out.Its not about sex/drugs or really even gothic music it is about the little people like you and me having a shot like these well known famous people have had and still do at finding our selves and making our dreams come true no matter how low the chances are.Its also about family .Come on people how can you forget.I did not .You should not either.Tim Burton and all these other actors deserve a chance just like Charlie deserved the golden ticket.This is how dreams are made so please if you want to crush chilhood dreams that goodhearted people like us have do it where we cannot read it and hear about it.Thank you for your time hopefully you people will change your opion about this movie.From>StarMoon214

I really hope to god that this movie will be an acid trip realized, and scare the shit out of anyone that sees it.  I hope that Burton, and Depp suffice, and keep it dark and distrubing.

The movie's done... so why is everyone freaking out about Depp being Wonka?  If you cant appreciate the art, then don't go see it.  I cant believe people have so much time to agrue this.  Forums should be positive, and at least slightly intelligent.  Perhaps with all the weather going on in the northeast all the kiddies have time to rank and rave and mis-spell their curse words.  

Kudos to the guy that pointed out "fucken" is a redneck word.. hahaha

let's all just remember that since johnny came out of the closet in 03, its important for him to choose more masculine roles. and as far as tim burton, that suit that was filed against him in that child molestation case angered many people, so he needed to prove his fidelity by doing this film.

"C) CATCF was originally a book therefore, a ?remake? - not an original script."

How can you remake a book?  Especially into a movie?  It's just a different adaptation of the book.  Not a remake of the 1971 film.  I mean, there are at least a dozen Romeo and Juliette (sp?) movies out there.  Are they all remakes of the first one?

Anyway.  That's all I have to say.  Except for Johnny Depp is not a fag.  And I'm not refering to the poster who I quoted.

Actually...Depp himself said that he would like for Manson to play the part...although that sint happening. Manson has played in other movies though. Depp also based part of Willy character on Manson which is cool cause Manson based some stuff on Willy Wonka. It was one of him favorite movies.

Don't you guys know that things go in cycle? For some reason, in the past 2 decades, society seems to need to redo things. Whether it is A Brady Movie, Batman, Psycho, Starksy and Hutch or Willy Wonka.

I am not against the idea of movies being updated to fit the times but some movies should not be touched. What's next? Gone With The Wind starring Brad Pitt and Pamela Anderson?

yeah yeah...Johnny Depp..blah blah blah..let's consider other things about this film. CHRISTOPHER LEE as Wonka Sr.!!! ( Dracula to you elder readers,Saruman to you younger Lord O' The Rings peeps.)What the??

Of course Burton's wifey has to be in it as Charlie's mom. Danny Elfman returns for Burton with more music.

That guy in red (seen way up ^ up there.)IS an Oompa Loompa...and yes,from the T.V. room...remember,they run all of Wonka's stuff.

But as dark as the film may get,it will never be done EXACT to Roald Dahl's works. For one the Oompa Loompas were pygmies.(Anyone who has read the original books with the original drawings can tell you this.)

All that aside...the "classic version" will always be such. But I am willing to try out the new one,just to see a non-musical version.

Just so you know, Dahl wasn't happy with the original version, and that's why they never made a movie version of "the Great Glass Elevator" since they never got the right to it. Now, stop judging this movie, which you have never seen, and make yourself useful, by leaving.

Thank you for being smart about this. For one thing you are right because this is closer to the book. Also if anyone int his discussion is a true Tim Burton fan they would remember that he does NOT make remakes. If you remember Planet of the Apes 2001, he said it was his teak on that story rather than a remake of the original movies.

The book is the book is the book!  Gene Wilder is the real Willy Wonka people know of the 70's and up till now.  Even if the book was the best book in the world, it all comes down to the movie.  This is where stars are born and history and careers are made. NOT THE BOOK.  Look at Harry Potter.  The writer is great, but what does she look like? Can you say HOLLYWOOD?  Give the new movie a chance, but don't deminish the 1st movie because it strayed from the book.  It is all about the movie and the reason is more people will see a movie than read a book.  That is the fact! Without seeing the 2005 movie is unfair to pass judgement.  When is the last time you sat down with a bucket of popcorn and read a book?  Wilder was and is FANTASTIC!  Give Depp a chance to give us a chuckle just for chuckle sake and end it there.

Now I seriously doubt that  Johnny Depp ruin Willy Wonka.  I must especially point out that I believe Johnny's coat is a shade of RED, not brown...and even though I'm not of the contention that EVERY older movie needs to be 'refreshed', I do think this will be a very intriguing version. No, he doesn't look the part so much as Gene Wilder; but that's quite alright.  I do agree with you that Johnny will act the part to the best of his abilities.  We shall all see when it comes out!

I love the Gene Wilder version...I will probably very much like and accept the Johnny Depp version.  What people MUST keep in mind is that this film is simply THAT...a film.  Johnny Depp will do his best; he usually always does.  My hat remains tipped to Gene Wilder with respect; but Johnny is the only actor TODAY who could recapture this character.  I simply couldn't see anyone else taking this role now.

People...Johnny Depp is married, with a family.  Can we please move off the 'fag' wagon please?  The man has classic features.  He is wearing what he was instructed to wear by Tim Burton and those who designed the costumes for the film. Nothing more.

well maybe depp looks like that because that's how the director pictured it. tim burton is known for putting weird and crazy spins on things along with depp. there's a lot more people involved in the costuming and such besides the character. i think it will be a great version because tim burton and johhny depp would never try to make it exactly like the original.

What are you all complaining about?   > reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on March 12, 2005 1:39 PM

Personally I cannot wait to see the movie and I am seeing the first showing, besides that: What are you all complaining about? Its a movie. It is not necessarily going to follow either the movie or the book, what movie can completely do that. I am going to look at it apart from them. It is a movie and should be viewed as any new movie should be. Whatever your reason for watching it judge it apart from the original and the book. One no directer can put everything from a book into a movie and they must make it original in some way (look at Harry Potter for instance). And second the first movie can never be recreated, but there can be a NEW movie on this book. I do not see why you all are fussing about it. I think it will be spectacular because of the director and the cast. Take it as IT is not as YOU think it should be, isn't that what most do to a NEW movie that they know nothing about?
(I know this doesn't help my point but Manson? I cannot imagine him being in a movie that loads of children are going to see... That may be why Johny Depp is the main guy, because if Manson acted some might not have seen it as well as Johny is a well known and especially good actor right now, many want to see his movies so that makes the rating and the numbers/money go up)

I absolutely agree. I gor the original movie in 1986 when I was four and my Mum thought I'd hate it. How wrong she was! I virtually know every line, and I just know with absloute convition that I will hate the Depp version. Even from the trailer I can see that all the witty and yet dark responses Willy Wonka has are missing from the new one. The original was so wonderously crafted with Wonka's strange yet intriguing verse, often lines from famous origin,e.g. Shakespeare, that a 'dumbed down, Depp version will be tragic.

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on April 17, 2005 3:04 PM

I was a huge fan of the original book.  I probably read it five times when I was a kid.  I loved the illustrations.

I didn't like the movie as much for two reasons.

First, I didn't like the way the design of the Oompa Loompas.     They were weird looking and ugly, although I understand why they could be like they were  in the book.  I am glad Burton has gone back to the drawing board when it comes to the Oompa Loompas.

The other thing I didn't like in the movie was the incident where Charlie disobeyed Wonka by drinking soda pop.  My recollection was that Charlie was never naughty in the book.  

I hope Burton stays closer to the book and isn't afraid to let Charlie be a goody-goody.  In my mind, Charlie was a hero for goody-goodies and there is no shame in that.

Depp has covered such a broad range over his career. He is a fantastic choice for the part. It takes true-blue commitment to something to get the kind results Mr. Depp achieves. He transforms completely into his character without the arrogance of acting with a trademark that so many other actors feel compelled to incorporate into all their movies, i.e. an accent, phrase, look, etc. When Johnny takes on a role, any previous role he has played is nowhere to be seen. And that's very refreshing to me. He makes the effort to challenge himself. I have complete respect for Mr. Depp and am personally looking forward to the transformation of what was my latest experience, from "Captain Jack Sparrow" to this wonderful role. (I'm counting the days until Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3 as well.) I can't think of anyone better for the part. Johnny, you're a true actor and you bring fantastic talent to the screen. Thank you for your efforts.

I really enjoyed the new Willy Wonka!  I think there was DEFINITELY no other fit more for this role than Johnny Depp.

Johnny is THE most talented actor out there TODAY!  He takes his roles and mixes other peoples characteristics into one character and makes that person his to where NO ONE could mock his personality.  He is his own person I greatly admire that!

Tim Burton *did* give justice to this movie because he is a stinkin' GENIUS!  He really brought this book to life!

I have seen this movie 3 times and cannot wait til it comes out on DVD!  I could never watch the old Willy Wonka again!

I must say I am shocked and disappointed yet again by moviegoers of the world. You, the public, never cease to amaze me in your narrowmindedness and eagerness to shit on anything that's different from what you expect. Will people never stop complaining about the Oompa Loompas not being the moderately annoying orange butterballs of the 70's?
This movie is not a remake of the Gene Wilder classic (and classic it is)!!! It is NOT a sequel! This is Tim Burton's vision of a classic piece of literature. I find the man's style to be fascinating and very artful. He's true to the book, he even used the original Oompa Loompa songs from the novel. It's not BASED on the book, it's the movie version OF the book! The Gene Wilder version, while a very good movie, was nowhere near as true to the book as this one. And while Roald Dahl may have been on the scene, that doesn't mean that Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is the DEFINITIVE version of Dahl's whimsical novel. But, I will say, NEITHER is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (The movie). Different director's have different visions, but Tim Burton's work is much much MUCH truer to the book.
Next, I would love to see people stop picking at Johnny Depp's look in this movie. I thought it was perfect. Willy Wonka is an eccentric candymaking genius, so the funny haircut and the wierd clothes are to be expected. And the pale skin? The man had not been outside in several years, OF COURSE he's going to be pale. He doesn't look like Michael Jackson, and Marilyn Manson would NOT have been a better pick.
I deeply respect Mr. Depp for his amazing ability to completely disappear into his character when he does a movie. The man is one of the great actors of our time, and I wish the general populus was intelligent enough to be able to see talent. I'm not saying that Depp is the ONLY great actor, but he is definitely very talented. You don't have to like him, but he at least deserves to be recognized for his talent.
Now, I would personally be a very happy individual if the idiots of the world would realize that just because a movie isn't what they saw as a child, it's wrong. It's the attitude like that that got Pudding banned in Protestant England way back when. That attitude that causes people to become recluses and hermits and hate the world for not meeting their expectations. The people who refuse to be open to different versions of things will have an increasingly difficult time being happy. To really get the most out of life, it's important to be open and enjoy things for what they really are.
This is a beautifully done movie and a work of art. I for one will never forget it. I just wish I could do a simple web search without seeing people who have nothing better to do than to complain about things being different.

you narrow minded little dweeb! y cant ppl leave him alone. he is a great actor and they werent trying to make him bloody evil. if u watch and concentrate you can see that he acts the way he does because of his troubled youth you plonker. and for all those ppl still complaining about the ump lumpas, i suggest u just read the damn book!

i agree. i love both tim burton and johnny depp. i loved the first one but this one was fantastic and i dont even compare them because there is no point as they are completely different. if they were made by the same person i could see why ppl wud compare them. people need to realise that just because there is a new version out, that it doesn't change anything about the original we all know and love.

some small questions   > reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on August 24, 2005 12:11 AM

all those ppl who are still just complaining about the movie 1) why did you go and see it? 2)why bother comeing on this thing about the film if u dont like it? and 3)why are you so up your own ass that you can't except that other people have different ways of putting accross things. back when the first one was made, they did not have the technology to do what they have now and they couldn't make the umpa lumpas what it says in the book as there was issues about racism (hence the orange). im only 15 so i wasnt around wen it was made but i loved it all the same and now the original is my 2 year old sisters fave film but wen the new one comes out on dvd here in england i will show her and hopefully she will like them both the same. why cant u just accept that some people have different opinions about things and that tim burton, johnny and co could not have pleased everyone as that would have been impossible. as you can tell, i love both films as they both show great artistic ideas and should be appreciated

Ok....I loved the movie and i hearted willy wonka more....I do not think it would have been the same if there if johnny depp was not cast as ww....not because he is "Like totally hot and awesome" but because he just had the weird factor growing and was very mysterious i guess....It was pretty good....

Please take that damn stick out of your arse. who cares who is the bigger fan as long as people enjoy the movie, however your toxic attitude has all but extinguished my feelings for this movie. everything you are saying and doing isnt the attitude of the fan you claim to be, you should be trying to get people to understand your point of view not criticise.

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on October 27, 2005 4:44 PM

look. The reason Willy wonka and the CHocolate Factory was called Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory was because it was a musical adaptation of Raold Dahl's book. The Reason CHARLIE AND THE CHOCLATE FACTORY bears the same name as the book is because it is a DIRECT adaptation of the book. It is not a remake. It is not to be looked at as the same movie as Willy Wonka and the cf. they are 2 completely separate films. One is influenced by the book, the other is based on the book. Those of you who are comparing and contrasting the two are wasting your time. Both are great, classic movies and both deserve respect.

I loved both films. I too read the book first when I was about 6, and was glad to see the second film adhered more closely to it. I loved Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka, but think Depp brings his own interpretation into the character and makes it much deeper. The first movie freaked me more than this one did, probably cause I was a kid when I saw it. I loved the chocolate room in the newer version. For some reason the oompah loompahs bothered me in the newer film....they look like plastic beings!! Wonderful film. I'd watch it again.

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on November 15, 2005 6:22 PM

I had these really strange dreams!!!! Ill tell you them!!!! okay I was at the factory sitting in the room at a long table. Johnny Depp at the end of the table. I was sitting at the side of him. four seats down on the other side was Willy Wonka! the rest of the seats were filled with the family of Charlie Bucket. We were all leaning forward and wathcing Johnny Depp (let me make this straight it was Johnny himself eating not Willy wonka) eat like a baby! Everyone started to laugh! I woke up, then I fell asleep again! this time i was trapped by glass under the ocean! a fisher man came to save me. he told me where the factory was. I ran all the way back. When I got back I met up with Willy and he hugged me!!! HEEHEE!!!! *smiles hug self* then i seen some kids playing with a big yellow ball in a circle. A dog came over and licked the back of my neck (and I could actually feel it) then I woke up.
He was soooooooo cute!!!!!!! In the movie and my dream *sigh*

Please people stop trying to kill each other! Yes, Gene Wilder's version was good but Tim Burton's is good also. I would also like to point out its not a remake but just another point of view on the book. For you people who want Manson to play the role, sorry it's too late, it's been given to Johnny Depp so quit whining like a five year old! And also to people who say Johnny Depp's gay, please get a life and a dictionary. And please don't use that lame comeback " I have a life", i mean get a proper life instead of this pathetic excistence you inhabit. Johnny Depp is a talented actor, very handsome and all round nice guy.  Ok i have now finished my rant.

The Name Willy Wonka   > reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on September 9, 2006 10:15 PM

Roald Dahl told me that the name is based on a game, rather like frisbee, that he played as a child.
It was known as "Skilly Wonka", tho he had no idea why.

He said the name sounded a bit silly and he liked it, so he changed it to Willy Wonka so that he could use it in his book.

No important meanings to it, he liked the sound of it, and had good memories of the game he played as a child.

I've been living with the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory story for most of my life.
My REAL NAME is Charlie Wonka.
Yes, really.

I was a teenager when the book came out so I have first claim to  the name(s).

You fools who giggle because the name reminds you of 'wanker' really ought to try to graduate from your 8th grade mentality.

Mr. Dahl created a number of great characters, and some wonderful stories for us all.

Marilyn Manson is not cute like him! well I think this movie is really beautiful, it's like a child dreams'... it's a fantasy movie, for children and all the people... Manson couldn't b there!!! the movie is great with Depp, a lot of people like him as Wonka, and it's true, he is really cute, handsome and sexy, not only like Willy Wonka; Jack Sparrow is sexy too! oh yes! He's a really really really great actor... Simply Wonderful!
