I personally think this may be a terible Idea .I don't think it looks good at all.I will go see it to give it a try but i have a bad feeling about this .Why did they feel a need to remake this anyway .Thats like remaking the Graduate ,they got it right the first time.Two thumbs down .Click Here For the Willy Wonka Trailer

i think it looks really good

When I saw it this morning on Windows Media Player it was buffering all wrong and I was left with the impression that it was a total flop.
Now, I think it will be mildly successful, but not be a very good movie. It looks goofy. I don't think Johnny Depp and slapstick belong together.
And I was incredibly excited about it when I first heard the news.

also, people who are against remakes on the basis of "they got it right the first time" get no credit.

It looks pretty cool, but I still think they blew it by casting Johnny Depp.

Who would you have chosen for the role of Willy Wonka?

I heard they were considering Chistopher Walken...I'd have liked that.

Honorable mention:
Burt Reynolds: *smacking wonka gum* "yeah, she's a sweet ride the Wonka mobile." Dom DeLuise as an Oompa Loompa.
Samuel Jackson: I'd like to see him sing "Pure Imagination"

I'm intrigued. I think it looks promising.

pure hilarity and total awesomeness.

the scene near the end where he scolds charlie would be so much better with a couple of "motherfucker"s added in.

"you think wonka's a bitch???"

I refuse to answer again.

well, well, well...hadn't seen that. My bad.

Well, that's because it's well over a year old. I can't belive Carl even remembered.

When Chistopher Walken is involved, I remember.

I am looking forward to this remake. I can only quote the original so many times.
Whatever happened to Peter Ostrum? (Charlie from the original)

From IMDB.com:

Neither do people with lack of ideas .

I think it looks pretty sweet. Tim Burton, Danny Elfman and Johnny Depp are perfect choices in my opinion.

exactly.

i was under the impression that it wasnt a remake of the movie, but rather a different interpretation of the book. i realize that its basically the same thing.

Well the book is different than the original movie. Maybe the two movies will be so different they are uncomparable.

I'm extremely excited about it. I can't remember any time I've looked this forward to a movie, actually. The trailer would be much better if it didn't have that song playing in it.

My only complaint is that Johnny's hair should look crazier than that.

Yeah, I'm kind of hung up on his hair, too. I think he looks like a girl.

It's like one of those pageboy haircuts all the Privates have.

this could be fun...maybe. that song is terrible. I like the scissorhands reference in the trailer...

I missed that. Care to fill us in?

or that guy from submethod. minus the elf curls.

i am assuming he is talking about the end of the trailer when they sing "willy wonka here he is!!!" (or whatever they sing) and he throws his arms up like "tada!" to show the factory. he has a big pair of scissors in his hand. very good eye herman.

thanks...and that's exactly what i was talking about.

i'm going to have this stupid song stuck in my head for days

I agree. Gene Wilder's hair was crucial to the character, I believe.

his hair is weird in the new one ne way....i mean....y wear enough hair products to make your hair look THAT much like plastic when u are wearing a hat??....I saw the original willi wonka guy in another movie and he killed people and had to go to jail...from that day on i saw the happy candy guy as a killer saddness

as long as the little orange Oompas or however u spell it are in it the movie will be great...i hope

olive's scissorhands impression is better than johnny depps

I hope they are safety scissors!

ahhh no, depp is a complete ledge, come oN.. p of the c!!

i'm so lost. help?

I think she's saying he's a legend [....] Pirates of the Carribbean.

Whoah...internet abbreviations have become a completely new language.

Yes, new.. and annoying!

I was thinking it was Pick of the Crop. Which he is, too.

Yes, but to an extreme extent. Burton made certain to find a screenwriter that had NEVER seen the original, and had ony read the book. He didn't see the film until Burton was finally satisfied with his script. His thoughts of the original film?

"God, that's a really sadistic and dark interpretation of the book."
