There was a rumor going around that Marylin Manson was going to play Wonka, but Warner Brothers dismissed it saying that they had never even considered him

I think Warner Brothers will give Burton a little leway to steer Charlie to the dark side. The Dahl estate is only going to make the movie if it has dark undertones, and since they're working in conjunction with WB, I would think that Warner Brother's have already OKed this.

Burton has now been officially named as the man to give Roald Dahl's classic its second stab at the screen and we can't think of a better choice. Master of the surrealist fairy tale, Burton has just what it takes to supplant Mel Stuart's 1971 take on the subject using the kind of enchanting touch that made Edward Scissorhands so thoroughly bewitching.

And if they're talking about it on a parrallel to Edward Scissorhands, then it simply must have some darker elements.
