    This film contains work by Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, and Danny Elfman.

    There is no way this can turn out poorly.
    Don't read this.

    Seriously, just don't.

    It also stars Christopher Lee. It's like Sleepy Hollow all over again.

    I haven't ever seen a movie darker or crazier than the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The reason I have low hopes for this movie is because I have a feeling this movie will be weirder through more popularly weird methods. The best part about Willy Wonka was that it was weird in ways that weren't popular... They were weird ways...

    From what I've seen, it doesn't look like this film represents what I see the original as. It was genius crazy and crazy genius, this movie looks like it's going to be easier and void of the experimental insanity that made the original great.

    The name of the movie is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which is named after the book, unlike the original movie based on the book.

    The movie trailer looks wonderful. I'm going to watch it for sure.

    Johnny Depp + sequal to awesome movie = :<3:

    I'm seriously gonna see this.

    And Tim Burton? He made Big Fish, and that's like my favourite movie. It must be good.

    Just to clear things up, this movie is NOT a remake of the first movie. In fact, Tim Burton didn't even like the first movie.

    This movie will be Burton's adaptation of the book and from what I hear, he intends to stick much closer to the darker, creepier elements of the book than the first movie did.

    Even better. I always did like the original movie, but Tim Burton is a genius with movies, so it should be good.

    I've been excited about this film for ages now. Tim Burton is a brilliant director and Johnny Depp is a brilliant actor. People such as Helena Bonham Carter being in the movie doesn't hurt either

    I'm so excited about this!

    It may look superior in some aspects, but will never be as remembered, or loved, as the original.
