Looks good to me.

 

Opinions?

[Mik]

I agree - looks like it may be fun.

[Blue Bacchus]

They had me at Johnny Depp....

[MrRant]

I don't think this will be better than the Gene Wilder version.

 

Plus Depp looks like a vampire.

Yea, the make-up definitely makes him look very...old. Check the massive wrinkles on his face everytime he smiles.

 

Looks OK, but not great. I'll probably end up seeing it anyways though.

I thought this was the teaser I've already seen, but it's not. This trailer is alot better than the teaser.

 

The teaser didn't amaze me, but it kept me interested in the film. The trailer makes it look great and it has increased my interest. I now have little doubt that it'll be every bit as good as the Wilder version. Of course, we probably shouldn't even be making that comparison, as the two versions will likely be quite different.

Really? I think he looks really young. My mom commented that they had him looking like he was in his 20's.

As long as the kid who plays Charlie isn't a complete queer who acts like a girl I'll probably end up seeing it, although Gene Wilder's version was pretty good despite the shitty kid.

I don't know about anyone else, I downloaded the trailer and after having watched it a few times I've got that son in my head, it's become catch and I find myself humming it now and again. It's really got stuck in my head.

You know...men have gone nuts with a song stuck in their head

Two words: Finding Neverland. Freddie Highmore is simply amazing in that film, though he was only 6, I believe, during the filming. A terrific actor, especially during the really emotional scenes.

Que? Having watched the teaser, oh, twenty times or so, the trailer on the site is the same as the teaser....

Depp looks really creepy in that trailer. One of my friends said that it made her little sister cry.

Most amusing.

I dont think Depp looks particularly scary in the clip. I look forward to seeing the film but I dont think it will beat Wilders one.

I want to see this movie. I like Johnny Depp, and Tim Burton has made many movies that I thought were great. These two have worked together before on Ed Wood, so I think that this will be a good movie. This movie is also supposed to follow the book more, but I never read the book. I did watch the original about 500 times (it was an HBO movie and always on back when I was about 7 years old). I loved the original, but I don't think Burton is going for the remake, but more of a retelling of the book. If he can do this, then this will be a good movie woth seeing.

They actually worked together in several films together which is probably why Burton picked him (that and he'd sell a few seats). Im a bit sceptical about Burton remakes though, his Planet of the Apes was dirt

The posters are..um..uh..

Your sig put a song in MY head...

 

Here comes the AXE!

[Guest El Satanico]

I like this one and the Wonka poster

The little pigs bordering "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" above Augustus' head is a nice touch.

That's a GOOD son to have in you head...

 

Think of how much better things would be with a little more DEMOLITION in the world.

[Guest El Satanico]

In the background of the Charlie poster, you can see that the movie appears to be set in a 1920's german impressionist film.

 

 

Ok now that I got the movie geek term out, let me clarify in normal speak.

 

It looks like they live in Metropolis.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Good, they got someone kind of malnourished looking to play Charlie Bucket. The kid in the Gene Wilder one was way too healthy for a child subsisting off cabbage soup and the occasional chocolate bar.
