I just watched the trailer for the remake of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." I don't know what to think. It looks interesting, but I honestly think there was no need to mess with this movie. The original was superb.
I wonder what Gene Wilder will think when he sees it. Johnny Depp is a good actor- but he looks incredibly freakish as Willy Wonka and with none of the strangely scary likability that Wilder had. I just hope they do justice to the Oompa Loompas....
