I *heart* him), I'm guessing it's a musical because Danny Elfman is working on it, and Michael Keaton or Christopher Walken will be Willy. Gene Wilder was the man, he still is the man.
😱 The trailers out it looks cool

Dude, that trailer looks pretty damn terrible. Diddnt we all get the point from the original Charlie and the Chocolate factory? I know Depp is a good actor, but there is no way in hell that he will replace wilder, and Burton is defaintly not going to out do, or express charlie and the chocolate factory in a more entertaining way. I thought Burton learned his lesson with remakes after Planet of the Apes...i guess not. I love how he said that planet of the apes was not a remake, and either is charlie.
The trailer does look cat in the hattish I have to admit but I still think it looks good.It's not going to be released until around next summer so I think that version of the trailer was just released to keep people happy.
'Charlie and the chocolate factory' isn't really a remake it's more of a closer adaptation of the book, where as the the Gene wilder version 'Willy wonka and the chocolate factory' wasn't. So they will be different in some ways and I'm glad that it's Burton thats doing it. Everyones allowed one mistake and planet of the apes was his.
I've Just found a transcript to the song in the trailer.
Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka
The amazing chocolatier
Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka
Everybody give a cheer
He's modest, clever, and so smart
He barely can restrain it.
There's so much generosity.
There is no way to contain him...
to contain him...
to contain, to contain, to contain...
Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka
He's a genius who just can't be beat
The magician and the chocolate whiz
Willy Wonka, here he is!
Lets see Tim Burton is firming this movie and I am not sure if I want to see it.He is one scary guy.And you know from seeing "NIghmare before Chirstmas"
This movie is going to be dark and scary.So no I dont think I want to see it.JM
Wow. Do you know about anything before you speak? Tim Burton doesn't only make scary movies. Have you seen Big Fish? Great movie, not dark AT ALL. And Nighmare Before Christmas was a dark comedy, not scary at all either.
