Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

[House of Pancakes]

Looks promising.

[Boondock Saint]

With Depp and Burton you can't really go wrong. But he looks rather creepy there.

I LOVE the original so of course I'm a little weary on them remaking it, but I have faith.

Plus, it is a more straightforward adaptation of the book, which I have never read, so it will be different. No musical numbers for starters.

Wonka's musical numbers were sick.

Yeah, I love the original...

Also, to book has musical numbers (the songs the Oompa Loompas sang after they gotr rid of each kid) but that's it. The book is really dark, it rules :love:

[Anybody Thrilla]

The Oompa Loompa songs are the only ones you need. Should be hot.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Might ruin a few childhoods, though.

[Gouda]

What?! I never knew they were making this movie. Burton and Depp, huh? Should be.... different.

Johnny Depp looks like he's going to molest Charlie or something in that picture though.

[Smitty]

Why does he look like Alex from A Clockwork Orange meets Willy Wonka?

[Champion of Europa]

Grrr, pictures have been removed off the sites.

[Danny Electric]

I want them to make The Glass Elevator(?) into a film.

[John la Rock]

what

this looks promising. Depp can make this film worth watching

[RemyRed]

Looks like a horror movie.

[Xero]

Should be cool, I'll be seeing it. Dunno how it will live up to the original, though.

I orignally heard that Marilyn Manson was considered for the part of Wanka.

How different is the book from the original movie? Besides the musical numbers, I mean. How "dark" is it?

[samichna]

Willy Wanksta

[DegenerationY]

YES. I can't wait for this movie.

Johnny Depp :love:

[Fox]

This shall be disturbing.

[Shaggy]

I heard this was gonna be a darker version of the original movie. Sadly many kids will probably see this movie thinking for the happyness of a kiddy film.


CANT WAIT

[Dave Youell]

I've seen what the umpa lumpas looks like.

they look like shit

They are little old men with headphones no

no green hair

no David Dickenson orange skin!

Rubbish

[PoisonIvy]

This shall indeed rule several kinds of ass.


Oh & of course, Johnny Deep in freakish costumes = :drool:

evil chocolate factory

[Loose Cannon]

Looks like a horror movie.

**dreadful music plays.

...He pleasures them all with scrumptious treats ...


...What you don't know....

**Kids scream


This Summer.....

worst oompa loompas ever :(

[Xero]

That is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. WTF are they now, 50's era aliens?

[GARAGExBANDxGEEK]

Looks and sounds really shitty

[KleptoKlown]

I think those oompa loompa costumes are for the TV room that shrinks/transfers chocolate. I dont think they'll be all they wear.

Although the book makes the oompa loompa more like little troll doll type things.

[Champion of Europa]

Here's the pics of Depp as Wonka I tried to post before they were eliminated off JoBlo and AintItCoolNews.com:

[samichna]

Dunno if it's gonna be good or not... :-\

[slextremely]

It's Depp and Burton, all im saying is July can't come soon enough.

[FakeLaser]

Kinda sketchy on it.

[DaveWadding]

Depp looks pimpin.

[Xero]

Does he have candy in his cane? It must be a candy cane!


*Rimshot*


:shifty:

[PoisonIvy]

As much as I love Johnny, the gloves are verging on gay.

[samichna]

kid, those gloves are sickkkkkkkk

[Azriel]

He looks totally different from those promo shots and the poster

[Azriel]

Here are some shots of the kids:

[Bad Company]

Its gonna be good :D

[Funky Fly]

His skin looks kinda messed up. How much make up is he wearing?

[Azriel]

More than is possibly neccesary I'll wager.

[DaveWadding]

Whoa, Dave Wadding is an actor? [/beating everyone to the punch]

[RemyRed]

{lepto]{lown']I think those oompa loompa costumes are for the TV room that shrinks/transfers chocolate. I dont think they'll be all they wear.
That part of the movie always seemed stupid to me, wouldn't they make more of a profit just selling the giant Wonka bars as opposed to trying to sell people TVs that'll just transfer over some Giant Wonka bar from their pod thing?

[Azriel]

I wonder if they're going to put back the songs in this version, but probably not.

[DaveWadding]

It's a fantasy story :roll:

[RemyRed]

lol I know.

[Boondock Saint]

Teaser trailer is up:

http://movies.yahoo.com/movies/feature/charlieandthechocolatefactory.html


I dunno. Teaser doesn't impress me but I trust Burton will come through, like he usually does. That song is annoying as hell though.

I still see this as a useless remake, however, I am also excited about it at the same time. I still think this will turn out good though.

[Champion of Europa]

I love that trailer.

[Azriel]

it was pretty good.

[Shaggy]

I like the song in the trailer. I was laughing at it the whole time.

[The Mackem]

Johnny Depp looks too young to be Willy Wonka. I'm not going to buy the whole, Willy Wonka gives out Gold tickets because he is retiring storyline now.

[Jason Cage]

Yeah wtf. Hes like 45 years old and looks in his late 20's or something. :|

[Savio]

Why are they calling him willy?

[DaveWadding]

Why are they calling him willy?
because that was his name in the book?

[Gouda]

Johnny Depp looks too young to be Willy Wonka. I'm not going to buy the whole, Willy Wonka gives out Gold tickets because he is retiring storyline now.

It's being more contemporary. He's retiring so young now due to complications of the heart from constantly eating chocolate and sweets.

Wow... Christopher Lee is playing Wonka's father? I don't recall him having a father in the books.

[DaveWadding]

he didn't. Unless that was in GGE, which I never read.

[Savio]

[Boondock Saint]

New trailer is up:

[Ninti the Mad]

That isnt going to be a dark movie.

So gay. I'll watch it anyway for nostalgia though.
