Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is one of my favorite movies of all time - it is about SO much more than candy... lol. So Veruca Salt was gonna be my name, but that was to much of a throw...

You know they're re-doing that right? It's going to be called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Johnny Depp plays Willy Wonka. Should be awesome!

I don't know. I have trouble picturing him as willie wonka.

Why? The guy can act just about any type of role, he can play a perfect lunatic. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Ed Wood proved that.

the writer who did the new treatment of the willy wonka book never saw the Gene Wilder version. he went on the book alone. he finally watched the movie and he said his draft came out much lighter...
