: Do you guys think that Johnny Depp is the best for the role of Willy Wonka, if not, who would you choose?
: Do you think Tim Burton is the ideal director for the way they are going with the flick, or is there a better director out there?
But I read an interesting story about the gent who is. Apparently, the writer hadnt seen the original film and asked Burton if he should before he wrote the screenplay. Burton said "Hell no!" and so he did his version of it based solely on the book. He said that afterwards, he looked as his vision compared to the movie and he said the ORIGINAL film was a LOT darker than his concept - but Burton seemed to love what he came up with...
It should be VERY interesting. And yes, I am a Johnny Depp fan, so I'm excited.
