Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

AICN seems to have taken off the page  

But at least I got to see the pictures.  Anyone save them?  I loved Depp as Wonka, I can't wait!

Here they are:













I think the similarities to the original film are obvious.  The costume design is still very 70's, so I think Burton's not letting on as much as he claims.

Mmmmmmmmm, I like...

Thank you Sal!

My two cents: Utterly pointless remake.

Burton remains an enigma to me.

Looking at these stills I wish Burton had reimagined the costume design, but maybe the film itself will be different.  Otherwise what's the point of a remake?

My two cents: Utterly pointless remake.

Johnny Depp is in it, therefore it's not pointless.

It looks weird....I really dont know about Depp, it looks like he can't pull it off. His makeup is creepy looking.

[Finn]

Yeah it looks like Tim Burton is trying to make a dark version of Willy Wonka. I'm predicting it would be anything brilliant or outstanding, but it might be interesting just to see.

[Ghostboy]

You guys are nuts. This looks absoultely Burton-eriffic.

Apparently Martin Scorsese was thinking about directing this at one point. It would've been really interesting to see his take on the story.

Yeah, got that poster on page 8.

Interesting campaign approach - "See the movie Martin Scorsese rejected to make some movie about planes."

I still don't know what to think just because I'm such a huge fan of the original.  This movie looks more focused on Willy Wonka than even the first movie, despite the title change.  Do you think that this movie will have the patience to wait 45 minutes before unveiling Depp?  Maybe it's just how they decided to market it... but you barely even see Charlie in the trailer.

wow. this looks really great. i was very skeptical of this at first, but now i'm very looking forward to it.
