Why is the movie called "charlie andthe chocolate factory" instead of Willie Wonka?

[JEDI]

Why did they change the name from the 1970's version?

now everyone will know that Charlie won.

 

It's the title of the original book.

Anyone who didn't see the original should die, there's no good excuse.

Ohh God...those umpa-lumpas scared the living sh!t out of me as a kid...I'm still afraid of them

I wasn't talking about the change of name, I'm talking about the end of the movie/book. Thus, my sentence was correct. :Q

and tim burton is definetly a nutjob, but in a good way. I loved nightmare before christmas, and basically any of his other movies. He must be a Roald Dahl fan, because he also did James and the Giant peach, right?

Wilder was crazy eccentric looking
