I will admit, I have never read the book, so my attachment to the story is strictly from the standpoint of the old movie. And while it is hard to make any decisions based on a teaser trailer with only 1 spoken line in it, I already get a bad feeling about this flic. The look and demeanor of Depp's Wonka just doesn't feel right. Wilder made the original a classic, because he looked and talked (for the most part) like an average joe, but it always fealt like there was a mad genius lurking just beneath the surface, at least until the end when he revealed his true motives to Charlie. I hope for the best for this movie, but as one of the few people I know that absolutely hated Edward Scissorhands, Big Fish, Ed Wood, and Batman 2, I am highly skeptical.
