Quote from: picolasthere's something terrible about the Charlie poster. i'll report back if i figure it out.
He's supposed to be the nice one, and his eyes are just as evil as the rest. That and the Sideways-esque airbrushing.

New Trailer here.

depp has two faces in that trailer.

and this is prolly the first time i've ever liked the score in a trailer, right about when the narrator is saying "only one will fondle his heart" there starts a quick little ditty that goes through to nearly the end. is that stolen from sumwhere, or an elfman original?

That was really a strange but great trailer (high expectations are sinking in) and there were two shots that reminded me of him playing Hunter S. Thompson, the shots where he is in the forest with that jungle hat on.
The Beatles know Jesus Christ has returned to Earth and is in Los Angeles.

'Cause they're my only news source besides MacGuff: Twitch Film!

Wilder to Wonka: It's all about the bling-bling!

You had to expect this to happen. Gene Wilder dealt a blow against the Tim Burton remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

He calls the remake, "Pointless... It's all about money. It's just some people sitting around thinking 'How can we make some more money?' Why else would you remake Willy Wonka? I don't see the point of going back and doing it all over again. I like Johnny Depp, and I appreciate that he has said on record that my shoes will be hard to fill. But I don't know how it will all turn out."

I can understand his point. After a time any movie fan themselves will gripe and bitch about who is remaking what and what are they doing that is different from the original. Can you blame the actors that starred in them? I watched the original CatCF on TV on the weekend by chance. Wilder is brilliant in it! It is a classic!

But despite Wilder's feelings, Time Burton insists his film will be closer to the original Dahl novel, than Wilder's musical version. Having not read the book I cannot comment on that. I wouldn't know how different the original film was from the book.

Fans of the book and the original movie will go and see CatCF, or not, and make up their own minds.
We often went to the cinema, the screen would light up and we would tremble, but also, increasingly often, Madeleine and I were disappointed. The images had dated, they jittered, and Marilyn Monroe had gotten terribly old. We were sad, this wasn't the film we had dreamed of, this wasn't the total film that we all carried around inside us, this film that we would have wanted to make, or, more secretly, no doubt, that we would have wanted to live.

One film is about Willy Wonka and the other is about Charlie. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Tim Burton's a much more faithful adaptation of the work?

supposedly more faithful, but then they are adding all this wonka backstory about his dad so i doubt it.  perhaps more faithful in tone to the dahl book.  i dont think the other film was about wonka more though, it was a just a title change.  if anything, this looks to be more about wonka, but again, nobody has seen it yet.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

The original wasn't all that unfaithful - I think they're just using that excuse to justify the remake to the public.

I really love a lot of the content of that trailer -- the visuals are classic Burton (and there's also a lovely shot that looks like it's ripped off from Episode III) --but it also leads me to believe that Johnny Depp is either going to be really creepy/dark in the role, or really annoying. Here's hoping for the former.

I enjoy the 2001 gag in the trailer and the look of the film looks fun, but it still doesn't look very good.
