But I want a new Tim Burton Willy Wonka movie NOW! Buy it for me, Daddy.

Johney Depp said something to Variety that he thinks he should be Willy Wonka...I think that would be cool!

I love the story of Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. I am not that fond of the old movie, however.

I concur Mr. Theory, although the oompa loompa's are pretty sweet.

Travis youre right, this article says Depps a front runner, they list Christopher Walken too. I wouldnt be able to decide between the two. They are both so awsome.

oompa loompa doomady doo... i got another problem for you...

Going "up the chocolate channel with the oompa loompas" always bothered me a bit.

Attention: Tim Burton

Remake "The Lone Ranger" with Depp as the ranger..... He'll like ddoing the part.

Another classic, soon to be ruined like Miracle on 34th Street? This is going to be a tough act for Burton to follow, but I hope he nails it. He has the kind of style that could pull this off.

Maybe Gene Wilder can play Grandpa Joe this time around?

Wonka sort of has the same nostalgic feel as Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I suppose sooner or later someone will remake that too.

Most the remakes of films that did well the first time around blow.

Alice in Wonderland is his NEW movie!

THIS is the NEW gossip ALL over!

Tim Burton will create a great version of Willy Wonka - however, over-rated nonacting Johnny Depp should be tossed aside to make way for CHRISTOPHER WALKEN! Who could think of a more perfect/creepy Willy Wonka. Plus, CHRISTOPHER WALKEN can dance, sing, and act!
Johnny Depp should have realized during 21 jump street that his talent has extreme limits. Give up the ghost Johnny, and Tim, get a clue.

The original 1971 movie is an abborhation of the book. The book has a dark, sinister atmosphere that Gene Wilder and the 1971 Warner Bros. team simply couldn't maintain and still make a children's movie. (In other words, to be true to the book--it can't be rated 'G'.) Enter Mr. Burton--the only one who can do justice to Mr. Dahl's sinister storyline. I should be interested to see who plays Charlie... Anyone know when the film is scheduled to premiere??

By the by, it's supposed to be a live action film.

I too thought the original movie was way too cheery. The story always seemed very dark to me, something I think Tim Burton could do well. IMDB says the movie (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, 2005) premieres in 2005 and credits Johnny Depp as Wonka. Unsure how I feel about this. Sometime Depp's flexibility comes across as homogenistic.

The first will always be a classic but this go around I'm hoping for less singing, if any, and the dark atmosphere the book painted.

i think johnny depp will be great at playin the new wonka he has talent and the looks he will put gene wilder to shame. he deserved to get the part of wonka!! all of his other films wer classics and many more to come will be to go johnny and all the best for the furture!!

I thought already about it and it will be Kick ass if burton make his own "Alice in wonderland"

I wait for it
