JOHNNY DEPP AS.... WONKA!

Johnny Depp Frontrunner to Play Willy Wonka! Source: Variety Friday, July 25, 2003

The success of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and past collaborations with director Tim Burton make Johnny Depp the front-runner to play Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the second live-action adaptation of the Roald Dahl classic children's novel.

"Charlie" has long been considered one of Warner Bros.' most promising properties, one that the studio hopes will eventually lead to a Broadway musical.

I hope its walken not depp. On the other hand I'm sure depp could be worked in there somewhere. I think he would play a great villan trying to buy the formula for everlasting gobstoppers.

Sure, he did an excellent job with Pee Wee's Big Adventure and the Batman flicks, but Planet of the Apes? What a piece of shit. Not to mention the disaster that was the Superman comeback. Dropping Kevin Smith's script and bringing in Nic Cage as Superman? WTF?

Leave Wonka alone Tim. Go make another great Batman flick (please, wrestle the francise away from Schumacher. Please!) or make somthing on your own like Nightmare Before Christmas, but don't screw around with Wonka. The original is just fine as it is.


Hey Troublebot I'm against the tide with you as well. Leave this movie alone. Burton's first Batman and Pee Wee are classics but lately his shit has been stinkin up the screen. Tell Burton to go make a movie where he can showcase his girlfriend's ample assests (again)but leave Charlie Bucket alone.:mad:

Here's hoping for a troop of Hell spawned and scissorhanded midgets playing the Oompa Loompas. And they have to eat children instead of dumping them down the tubes.

For the LOVE OF GOD, why don't they sstop with the remakes and start making films that are actually original??

Sounds cool, i hope he can pull it off.

After seeing Johnny Depp play Ed Wood, I have almost no doubt in my mind that he would be a excellent Wonka. He seems adapt to almost every strange role handed to him.

I wanna play Wonka.

Depp and Burton have been together before. Some good (Edward Sicsor Hands) and some bad (Sleepy Hollow). If they don't fuck up the script, this movie will be awsome. Depp can play anything.

roll credits

*standing ovation*

Seriously though, Burton is *THE MAN* to do this flick RIGHT. I think all of us can agree this film has become a classic but like 99% of movies based on books it is crap in the creators eye.

Give me dark wonka and I'll buy a ticket. The only part that worries me is the fucking suits and "Jennifer Anniston and Brad Pitt will be two of the producers.", while we all know producers do jack shit I dont' want these two fucks getting int he way and fucking it up.

i'd totally wanna go see that!

That's the exact script I wrote for myself.
