Yuna_Firerose 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2004 I pictured Depp as Wonka having the Sleepy Hollow hair, with the pimpin' tophat. Then I saw this and was crushed. It would have been so much better with the long, crazy hair. Oh, aye, you ain't the only one to think that. The teaser poster is good and all..but the hair is just too perfect for him. Ichabod*hair would've worked wonders, and I imagine or rather hope we'll see something like that. After all, so far as I know, a lot of Depp-Burton movies results in really crazy hair. Edward Scissorhands, Ichabod Crane... Though Icchy's started out neat, then became more and more wild as the movie progressed. I loved it...so metaphorical for his state of mind.

That could very easily happen with this movie. Wonka just starts out as a recluse, it's only as the story progresses that we find out how crazy he is.

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted November 13, 2004 We need to remember that these are promotional pictures, so he probably won't look as neat and perfect in action. Or perhaps like someone else said, this is his facade and we will see him become more and more insane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a fan of both Depp and Burton, plus I liked the original Willy Wonka. So of course I would look forward to this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CBright7831 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2004 So far I plan to see two movies in 2005, and those will be Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, and Peter Jackson's remake of King Kong. This one may go on the list. We'll have to wait and see. As for Wonka looking like a child molestor in this movie...well, the 73 Wonka looked the same way...sort of.

UZI Suicide 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2004 Here is the teaser trailer: http://movies.yahoo.com/movies/feature/cha...atefactory.html Well that trailer eases some of my concerns after seeing that horrible movie poster. It also looks like Tim Burton and Johnny Depp were dropping acid when filming this. Excellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheex Incarnate 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2004 That trailer looked like complete tripe. How anyone could be excited for that I do not know. It looks like its from the same seed as Son of the Mask. Isn't Wonka supposed to be an old man? If he is, how is this the 'faithful' adaptaion of the book. Also, didn't Dahl not like the musical interludes in the original? So why now are there Beatles-esque jams going on? And that song....ugh.... Horrible, and VERY disappointing, hopefully the actual movie will be a million times better than what the trailer suggests -Cheex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted December 10, 2004 Depp is older than Wilder was, he just ages well. I haven't read the book, but from what I've gathered from people who have, Wonka is meant to look much younger than his actual age. It also doesn't sound like the book actually gives him an age.

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2004 Hm... I will like this movie if everyone hates it, and hate it if everyone likes it. Occasionally that is the correct response. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
