I was rooting for Alan Cumming
But I guess Johnny Depp would work well, too.
Currently sailing the seas as Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl’s Captain Jack Sparrow, the thespian may be foregoing the rum for some everlasting gobstoppers–he’s the frontrunner to play Willy Wonka in director Tim Burton’s update of Roald Dahl’s classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, sources confirmed Wednesday.
I actually didn’t like Pirates but I think Johnny was at least interesting to watch. I don’t really understand why they need to do a remake of an already perfect movie but when I heard they were and my beloved Alan was up for it, I resigned myself to the inevitable.
However, I am boycotting The Cat in the Hat because I think Dr. Seuss himself would have hated it.
Any Willy Wonka movie that does not include Gene Wilder singing “A World of Pure Imagination” is a movie that I refuse to see.
Oh, ugh, same here. No Gene Wilder? Bah.
Wait a second. Johnny Depp? Starring in a Tim Burton film? No way. I mean, it not like he’s been the star of every other Tim Burton movie for the last, like, decade…oh wait, he has. I think Alan Cumming would have been better too.
I’m very fond of Johnny Depp’s acting, so I don’t disapprove (although I like Alan Cumming too). I’m not all that crazy about the other Willy Wonka movie, maybe because I liked the book a whole lot and there’s not much of it in there.
