Willy Wonka disappointment has me thinking...

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Marilyn Manson will NOT be playing Willy Wonka in the remake of “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” my morning paper tells me.

I’m so disappointed. I love really bad remake casting. I’ll just have to watch my video of Lost Horizons (the musical) again.

Or I could fantasise about other possible “bright ideas”.

Like the remake of Brief Encounter with Sean Penn and Juliet Lewis.

or Mary Tyler Moore as Velvet’s mother in National Velvet.

Rules: Golden Age Movies with plausible contemporary (ie curently alive but not necessarily hot)stars

Anyone else want to play?
