    Johnny Depp said that he probably won't do as good a job as Gene Wilder

    Heard about this a long time ago. Not really looking forward to it. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is one of those movies that doesn't really need a remake.

    It's not a remake of the musical, its an adaptation of the novel. If they remade the musical, it would suck ass so bad.

    I remember a time when Marilyn Manson wanted the role of Willy Wonka and Johnny Depp almost let him do it instead. :lol:

    Oooh ok lol. Yeah I thought it would be a remake of the musical. An adaption would be cool. They can do more of their own vision.

    Gene Wilder did a terrific job as Willy Wonka, but i'm sure Johnny Depp will represent Wonka with his best efforts. I think Tim made the right decision in casting Johnny as Wonka, Johnny is and will forever be a great actor.

    EDIT:
    Hey, I found this pic on a certain site:

    Might be a Teaser for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

    That's why he's an actor. He's supposed to play the part. Not play himself in a costume.

    He's a pretty good actor too. From Edward Scissorhands to Pirates of the Carribean to Secret Window. He rocks IMO.

    Does no one remember Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas? :lol: If a puzzled look just crossed your face I suggest you go to your nearest Blockbuster and rent this movie immediately.
