i think this movie is a stupid idea... whats the point of a remake??
It isn't a remake. It's a new adaption of the book. The writer of the screen play that'll be used hasn't seen the movie, only read the book.
what someone needs to do is The Great Glass Elevator
Tim Burton should option it. That'd be boss.
i could think of no better man for the job
or just make one big loooong movie. id watch it. im glad it looks like they are staying in the spirit of the book. roald dahl was one melancholy dude. matilda with danny devito was pretty well done, i think.
first movie had a lot of differences from the book. (I just recently re-read it thanks to forreste!)
For one, I think only the oompa-loompas sing, and they aren't those sad green-and-orange little dwarfs, they are really happy and funny short people.
you left out black.

i haven't read all his books?! completely unacceptable.
ive only read the popular ones: the bfg, matilda, charlie and the chocolate factory, charlie and the great glass elevator, and james and the giant peach.
same i dont think ive ever even seen the others in libraries or stores.
i dont feel im missing much. i would like to read a few others but its not critical. the twits and the witches look interesting.
well, in the version I have, from the pictures, you can't tell they're black. I'll have to go back and re-read the descriptions. according to that article you posted, the text was revised.
i have my childhood book. maybe you read a post-revision. understandable.
He actually just looks like the bad hatter in that picture.
any buzz on what they are doing with the oompa loompas? are they going to portray them accurately as in the book (african pygmys) or go with the elf look of the gene wilder movie?
Pygmies.
yes! that was a dumb attempt at political correctness.
what is the meaning of this nonsense?!
