From today's Popbitch:
"Summer in the cinema might have been bland and dull, but films are set to get weirder. The remake of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate looks like it will have Johnny Depp as Wonka, with a soundtrack by Aphex Twin."

Did anyone see the 'hilarious' photoshoot from the remake of Windowlicker in this month's Q*? What they'll do to fill a page in their magazine amazes me sometimes.

I wouldn't be surprised, I was watching UK Gold last night and there was an advert for the Carry On films with the 808 state remix playing in the background

cool. johnny depp + tim burton = cant go wrong (i hope).
i havent seen this movie in ages, an in order to see it again i'd probably have to order it on dvd, so i dont mind a remake at all.
although i'd rather see that 'alice' movie (based on the twisted, dark pc game) that was rumored to be in the making.
anyone got news on that?

The original only has Gene Wilder and the Oompas going for it, the rest of it's pretty shit.
The problem with re-making this movie is that the original is so well known - in both book and film form - Burton will probably have to tinker with it a lot to make it interesting for a wide audience. This means it'll turn out at the end that Willy Wonka's chocolate factory is in fact Eden, which was millions of years ago vacated by monkeys which left to populate the entire planet and evolved into people. Depp's Wonka will rip off his prosthetic mask and be revealed as King Kong, which in a franchise crossover will then set up the remake by Peter Jackson (nobody will think it odd that Johnny Depp is 70 foot tall throughout the movie).

depp and burton is the best formulae for fantasy film, but i dont think anything they've done together will be as good as edward scissorhands.
but how cool would it be if aphex realy did do the soundtrack. i suspect he is a realy big fan of the movie.....(saw1 - we ar the music makers)

We're talking Tim Burton here, whatever he comes up with will be radically different to the original, not an attempt to better it.

why remake films that are only 40 or less years old (psycho, texas chainsaw massacre, gone in 60 seconds, now this).. i mean what can you add that wouldn't have been conceivable at the time?
movie remakes are really boring.. save your ideas for something original
btw aphex twin will score this movie like he scored the matrix reloaded and the forthcoming neuromancer, if you get my meaning

I heard good ole Mr. Walken was gonna be in on this movie too. And even further back, I heard Marilyn Manson would be playing Wonka.
I know it's a remake and all, but hell, with all these crazy people in it, it's gonna be one hell of a fucked up film.

while their at it, they might as well make "willy wonka and the glass elevator" or whatever it's called, and all of roald dahl's stories into movies, using a different idm artist to score each film.

ohhhhhhhhh i get it, you're trying to say aphex won't score it because all of the other rumors ended up being totally false or ended up being merely ideas that were considered? gotcha.

Charlie & The Chocolate Factory has *not* started shooting. Indeed, shooting isn't due to being until next year. There's no cast as yet and Burton is currently still working on 'Big Fish".
Oh yeah, IMDb is listing Danny Elfman as doing the score, which is probably far more likely than Aphex Twin, but given the film's still in pre-production that could change.
