I kind of think that there shouldn't be a re-make because the original is such a classic, sweet film but after watching Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow i could definately see him as Will Wonka, he'd be amazing! As long as they use JD i'll love it. I can't really think of another actor who could pull off Willy Wonka as well as the original.
im kind of excited to see how crazy the movie will be. i think it probably will have a lot of differences from the origional, so im curious as to how fun they will make it. i love weird movies like that. the part of willy wonka is kind of similar to the part of sam in benny and joon, so maybe we will get to see a bit of sam in johny when he plays willy wonka! not too shabby!
when i first heard that johnny was gonnna do the part i got a little nervous because i wasnt sure if he would be right for the part, but im totally confident now. i think it will be awesome.
I can remember singing "I want it now" for ages after i watched Charlie and the Chocoalte Factory for the first time! I must've been 6 or somthing, maybe even younger, it drove my mum and dad bonkers!!! I loved all the original characters although i also think that i could be a much better brat than Veruca!
just read a johnny article and it said this at the end about willy wonka hehehe:
Depp doubts that Burton will make him belt out musical numbers like Wilder did in the original, but he's not exactly opposed to the idea, either.
''Sure, why not?''
Because you've never sung before...
''That's all right.''
Aren't you scared of anything?
Pause...
''Clowns.''
