I for one hate remakes with very few exceptions. Gene Wilder's performance was excellent, and I'd hate to see someone else trying to live up to the role because they wouldn't be able to in my book. Also, we have Tim Burton involved, and look what he did with Planet of the Apes.
Isn't Peter Jackson making a new version of King Kong as well? It's already been remade once. Sheesh! NCC2012... your local Trekkie. =/\=

Yeah, not to mention, nobody else is gonna measure up to Veruca Salt's brilliant obnoxiousness. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

Isn't Peter Jackson making a new version of King Kong as well? It's already been remade once. Sheesh! While I agree with you on remakes, I don't really view any adaptation of a book as a "remake" per say. To me, when you are translating from a literary source, its a new director doing his/her vision of it (I liken it to all the different stage and films of Shakespeare's works. I don't view any of them as "remakes") Now, I totally agree with you about Planet Of The Apes, but you have to consider that he just wasn't the right director for that film. His style is definitely suited to a warped childhood story like Willy Wonka. It will probably be a very different take than the original, and I'm cool with that. No sense in doing the same thing that the original filmmakers did with it. I think Depp is a good choice for Wonka, because he won't just do a Gene Wilder impression. Wilder was brilliant in the original (as he is in almost everything), and no one should try to out do him. Best to bring your own thing to it. Just my opinion. Do not hurry yourself in your spirit to become offended, for the taking of offense is what rests in the bosom of the stupid ones. (Ecclesiastes 7:9) | |
