Good heavens. The sheer stupidity found in the comments at the bottom of vivalostwages link might have actualy caused me to lose a couple IQ points.
Hmm. Can’t spell actualy anymore. Yep, those IQ ponts are gone. Damn.
Hmm, well that’s a letdown. Although I suppose this version really is more faithful to the book.
Gah, it looks like Fear and Loathing in Wonkaland.
Hmm, I don’t like Johnny here either. Too young, for starters.
::shrugs::
I’ll wait until the movie comes out, though I am curious to see what they’ll make of it. I loved Gene Wilder’s Wonka 
I’d just like to point out that the same kind of misgivings were uttered about Depp appearing in a movie based on a ride at Disneyland, and look what happened with that?
Roald Dahl, folks. His entire schtick is all about dark weird creepy stuff happening in a surrealistic environment. If that doesn’t suit Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, then I don’t know of anyone better.
Somehow, the poster reminds me more of Tom Petty in the video for “Running down a dream”, or maybe “Don’t come arounfd here no more.”
That looks like something out of Barbarella.
I tend to agree, except Howard Shore did the score for “Ed Wood” and it was fantastic.
I still say if we have to have a new Wonka movie, it should have been Tim Curry!
I’m in the middle of a dilemma, here. I hate Willy Wonka, and have since I was a child. I love Johnny Depp, and have since Nightmare on Elm Street. I hate remakes. I love Tim Burton.
I’ve decided that the only thing to do is go out and buy the book at lunchtime. Maybe if I can get Gene Wilder out of my head, I’ll be ready to enjoy the movie when it comes out.
This is odd: my SO is under the impression that this movie is not a remake, but a sequel to the first film. That would mean that Depp is playing a grown-up Charlie who now runs the chocolate factory.
This makes little sense to me, looking at the trailer – it looks like it depicts the same events as the first film and the books.
Tim Curry has grown way too round in his 50’s. He would be a good choice if we could have him in the same shape he was in when he played the good Doctor Furter.
Dung Beetle I love Tim! That would have been interesting (or creepy…I’m invisioning a Rocky Horror Wonka )
Rocky Horror Wonka…mmmmmmm, yummy!
I can’t be the only one who’s going to spend the rest of the afternoon writing the songs for such a spectacular.

See, I had “Over at the Chocolatier’s Place.” 
And let’s not forget the show-stopping production number, “Cocoa Glaze My World.”
