PalacePrincess Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 i'm excited about this. johnny depp + tim burton + helena bonham carter = awesome. and apparently the screenwriter has never seen the original movie so his view hasn't been tainted. Release Date: July 15th, 2005 Studio: Warner Bros. Director: Tim Burton Screenwriter: John August (based on the novel by Roald Dahl) Producers: Brad Grey, Michael Siegel, Richard D. Zanuck Original music: Danny Elfman Cinematography: Philippe Rousselot Production Design: Alex McDowell Costume Design: Gabriella Pescucci Verified Cast: Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka Freddie Highmore as Charlie Bucket Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Bucket David Kelly as Grandpa Joe Harry Taylor as Mr. Gloop Noah Taylor James Fox Ty Dickson as Oompa Loompa Missi Pyle as Ms. Beauregard Christopher Lee as Willy Wonka's Father Jordan Fry as Mike Teavee AnnaSophia Robb as Violet Beauregarde Julia Winter as Veruca Salt Philip Wiegratz as Augustus Gloop Burton's next film is currently filming in London. Rather than being a remake of the 1971 Gene Wilder film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Burton's movie will reportedly be a more faithful adaptation of Dahl's novel.

Jaimoe Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 I love the original film and I can't wait for the remake. Tim Burton or Terry Gilliam are the only two directors that I would want to see tackle this remake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Holy. The tunnel scene in the original is one of the most psychedelic pieces of film ever released commercially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevO Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Cool! I love the original film and I can't wait for the remake. Tim Burton or Terry Gilliam are the only two directors that I would want to see tackle this remake. Good call. Terry Gilliam would be WAY better, IMO, but this'll do. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
