Everybody give a cheer

sooooo evil... 🙁

And the movie looks horrible too.
 
I loved the original but it was much tamer and gooey gushy than the books were, I can see why dahl wouldn't have liked it, this looks like it attempts to rectify that which I can admire. I guess i'll have to watch it and see what happens.
 
i adored the original when i was a kid.

nearly wore out the VHS watching it.

that being said...i have mixed feelings based on that trailer.

i like johnny depp, but...i will reserve judgement til i see the movie at this point.

 
Is there a way to install quicktime on an xp machine without iTunes? Quicktime is fine, but I want to keep itunes as far away as possible.
 
I cannot wait for this movie! Johnny Depp is one of the finest and most versatile actors we have today, and if Burton's back to his old form again...it'll be great!

Trivia for
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)
from imdb

Steve Martin, Robin Williams, Christopher Walken, Nicolas Cage and Michael Keaton were all considered for the role of Willy Wonka.

Johnny Depp's second chocolate-based movie (the first being Chocolat (2000)). Depp doesn't like the taste of good chocolate - he prefers the cheap, Easter bunny type.

Martin Scorsese was at one point attached to direct.

A camera lens worth $540,000, wasn't properly secured when trying to get a shot of a vat of chocolate. As a result, the camera fell into the vat which destroyed it.

This is the fifth film that Tim Burton and Johnny Depp have made together. The others are Edward Scissorhands (1990), Ed Wood (1994), Sleepy Hollow (1999), and The Corpse Bride (2005).

Screenwriter John August had never even seen Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) when asked by Tim Burton to write the script. After finishing the screenplay, he finally watched the 1971 version, only to be surprised at how much darker the "family film" was to his own.

Johnny Depp was so impressed with Freddie Highmore's performance in Finding Neverland (2004) that he convinced Tim Burton to cast him as Charlie Bucket.

Not like you're rushing to judgement or anything.
