i think this looks like shit, personally

ok.....this looks pretty stupid. Gene Wilder was the best and will never be replaced in that role. Jonny Depp looks to femmy.

11/11/2004 8:35:42 AM

they are remaking Willy Wonka? or are they making the sequel?

11/11/2004 8:40:45 AM

Charlie and The Chocolate Factory (2005)

Quote :

"Cast (in credits order) Freddie Highmore .... Charlie Bucket Johnny Depp .... Willy Wonka rest of cast listed alphabetically Helena Bonham Carter .... Mrs. Bucket Ty Dickson .... Oompa Loompa Ray Donn .... Crowd James Fox Jordan Fry .... Mike Teavee Garrick Hagon .... Denver Reporter David Kelly .... Grandpa Joe Christopher Lee .... Willy Wonka's Father Missi Pyle .... Ms. Beauregard Annasophia Robb .... Violet Beauregarde Lance Smith .... Oompa Loompa Harry Taylor .... Mr. Gloop Noah Taylor Philip Wiegratz .... Augustus Gloop Julia Winter .... Veruca Salt "

His father? Arg leave the classics be people!

I thought they said they were going to make this a dark version or something, that doesn't look creepy to me at all

Aww man, looking at the whole cast list makes me sad...violet's father isn't in this one, meaning no "You're turning violet violet!" quote, unless they let that annoying chick who's going to be her mother

ah, ok, well I never read the book, so maybe this will all be more like the original story then

[Edited on November 11, 2004 at 8:59 AM. Reason : .]

its a remake in the sense that its being done the way the book portrayed the story. not that the original wasnt good, it just didnt really match the tone of the book.

11/11/2004 8:56:21 AM

his gloves look like they're made of latex

11/11/2004 9:18:21 AM

looks kind of like val kilmer in drag

have faith in tim burton

11/11/2004 9:59:31 AM

he has a pimp cane though

11/11/2004 10:02:57 AM

any trailers or teasers?

11/11/2004 10:19:16 AM

^supposedly there is one with Polar Express



Danny Elfman is doing the music and singing the Oompa Loompa songs (He did Jack Skellington's voice in NMBC)

who was the kid who originally played charlie bucket, and will he be making a cameo like charlton heston did in planet of the apes

11/11/2004 10:34:25 AM

JOhnny depp and the chocolate pirates!!!!


arrrgh!

11/11/2004 10:38:50 AM

i'm doubting this one, but i have faith in tim burton.

11/11/2004 10:50:43 AM

I would have complete blind optimism for this project were it not for Burton's PLANET OF THE APES.

11/11/2004 10:50:46 AM

this looks horrendous.

gene wilder is wonka, that androgynous thing up there is not wonka.

11/11/2004 10:53:29 AM

Oscar Wilde and the Chocolate Factory?

11/11/2004 10:58:02 AM

Excitement level for this movie is dropping rapidly with these hideous pics so far.

11/11/2004 11:06:47 AM

seriously, this looks gay as hell now

11/11/2004 11:08:10 AM

is this going to be a movie geared towards kids

or is it going to be a little darker than your average kid flick

either way i'm sure johnny depp will make wonka subtley super psycho

11/11/2004 11:11:31 AM

the wonka bar wrapper looks the same.

Did Charlie and the Chocolate factory introduce gene wilder? i thought he popular before then. When was Blazing Saddles released?

11/11/2004 11:12:54 AM

i think saddles was after 73 when willy wonka came out. I was really looking forward to this before I saw these pictures, willy wonka is one of my all time favorites. Stop. Don't. Please.

11/11/2004 11:16:49 AM

since when does collegehumor get those first pictures before we find them anywhere else?

i'll agree with you there, but the depp factor has to cancel out planet of the apes, just as burton cancels out secret window (even though secret window wasnt nearly as bad as planet of the apes)

shots of the set in there

11/11/2004 11:30:06 AM

i still can't wait to see what this movie is gonna be like...even though the pics are a little discouraging

11/11/2004 11:36:16 AM

keep in mind those are just character shots... so much of the compelling atmosphere of tim burton's films comes from the settings and the universe he creates, so i'm holding out hope that his vision of the rest of the original film's elements will make the character's appearances seem less cheesy.

11/11/2004 11:44:24 AM

man
i hope this sucks
so that way johnny depp won't be so pop-culturish anymore...

next, we have to figure out how to make pirates lame again - because i hate when stuff i love turns trendy


btw
my joke for the pictures is:

nobody explained to johnny that this isn't charlie and the chocolat factory?

I'm not sure I'm following your train of thought with all the strikethroughs and corrections, but are saying BIG FISH makes you less secure or more secure with Tim Burton's abilities as a filmmaker?

11/11/2004 12:44:01 PM

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory fudge packing plant

11/11/2004 12:47:27 PM

big fish was more happy than dark and creepy, though big fish is kinda dark and creepy.....but its still more happy

11/11/2004 12:53:36 PM

He looks like Jim Carrey in those pics.

11/11/2004 12:54:04 PM

11/11/2004 12:57:29 PM

Depp's Wonka will be nothing like Wilder's Wonka (that sounds a little dirty), and that will be done on purpose. A lot of the script for the first movie was rewritten because Wilder made the character cute and lovable rather than a pompous jackass. Depp will play him as the pompous jackass. It's going to be a very different kind of movie, not meant to be at all the same as the first one. I was actually discouraged to hear that the oompa loompas were still going to sing.

Also, if you forget that Planet of the Apes was supposed to be Planet of the Apes, it wasn't a bad flick.

11/11/2004 12:58:00 PM

bwahahahahaa

awesome

that's creepy as fuck

11/11/2004 12:59:55 PM

^^Yes it was.

11/11/2004 1:03:10 PM

about the kid that was charlie in the first movie

that was the only movie that he was ever in

11/11/2004 1:06:53 PM

oh yes, child, it really is this long!

11/11/2004 1:08:04 PM

ya ive always thought planet of the apes was good if you look at it apart from the rest of the series

[Edited on November 11, 2004 at 1:10 PM. Reason : and gene wilder's first feature film was bonnie and clyde in 1967]

11/11/2004 1:08:15 PM

what's wrong with big fish? i thought it was good.

11/11/2004 1:11:45 PM

big fish kicked ass folks

if you don't like it
you can geeeeeeeehtttttt outttt
