Title: Even the classic movies aren't safe... Post by: KyoZaber on May 13, 2005, 12:38:45 pm Don't mind the slight change in the title... It's happening all over the board it seems... Both Classic toons and movies are not safe from Hollywood's writers block.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367594/ ... I swear this movie looks scary... Maby I'm being un-fair because of Mr.Depp... but... It just has too much of a... icky creepy filling to it... and not enough of a happy umpa-lumpa filling that the classic had. Note: The Classic's name of course is "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" while this one is "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" Title: Re: Even the classic movies aren't safe...

As his style very unique. Burton's a very accomplished, oscar-winning director, who made classics like Batman Returns, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Edward Scissorhands. so this shouldn't really turn out too bad. Though I do admit his his darker style creeps me out at times, and as Kyo said, part of what made the original so memorable to me when I was younger, was it being so cheerful, bright, and colorful.

From what I've heard, this one is going to be closer to the book with it's darker tone and such. Title: Re: Even the classic movies aren't safe...

If that's the truth then it should be really neat. Now if they would just make a movie of the second book.From what I've heard, this one is going to be closer to the book with it's darker tone and such.

It's been so long since I read glass elevator...didn't they go into outerspace? Title: Re: Even the classic movies aren't safe... Post by: Marurun on May 15, 2005, 09:41:42 pm Yep, and the... I forgot the name of the aliens- They could only bend into the letters S-C-R-A-M. :D
Title: Re: Even the classic movies aren't safe... Post by: AsterCrow on May 16, 2005, 02:50:28 pm Little known facts about this topic:
The original actor cast to play Willy Wonka in this movie was none other than Marilyn Manson. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was never intended to be a children's book. At the end of the Factory tour when they lick the wallpaper, Wonka says "The Snozberries taste like Snozberries". And since the book was meant to be for adults, the term "Snozberries" is actually a slang word for..... *grin* balls. :O Tasty. Title: Re: Even the classic movies aren't safe...
