Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

impy13 · 07-02-2005, 11:35 PM

So this movie is going to warrant about 3 pants-poopings in one viewing. I can't wait to see it.

I mean JD just looks like a straight bad ass.

Anyone else anticipating this thing?

I love Johnny Depp and every quirky acting job he takes.

Lila64 · 07-03-2005, 12:14 AM

My daughter can't wait. She's planning her birthday/sleepover party around the movie being released on 7/15....

beau2ifulday · 07-03-2005, 04:56 AM

I can't wait - it's the only film released this year which i've been looking forward to seeing, which is desperately sad.
I'm not sure why, either. I loved the original so much, and by the looks of the trailer, they've altered it way too much to make me appreciate it.
I'm lokoing forward to taking my little brother to see it though - he's young and hasn't seen the original, and I hope he'll enjoy it as much as I did as a child (and do as a teenager). I think he'll find the appeal of the updated version better than the original.

I'm very excited about this movie! Johnny Depp is on the cover of Entertainment Weekly this week, and when I opened my mailbox and saw that I stood there in the street and squealed like a little girl.

dandy · 07-03-2005, 06:30 AM

johnny's still hot, even in that ridiculous get up.

Well being a Johnny Depp fan since 21 Jumpstreet ( I just aged myself), I always look forward to his movies. This one though, I'm counting the days!!! We have a big group of us going on opening day. I'm taking my 10 year old son with me since he is also looking forward to seeing this movie.

I agree with what dandy says, he does look hot even in that outfit.

Those eyes, those cheekbones......

BrownEyedBoy · 07-03-2005, 09:47 AM

I don't like the outfit. On him for some reason it looks effeminate.

My copy of that issue came yesterday too. No better way to get the mail than opening the mailbox and having your favorite actor tipping his hat at you.

I saw a test screening of it, let's just say I hope they take our suggestions and that's not the way they'll release it.

I think he looks kinda scary.

I don't know if I'll go see it or not. I guess it depends on the reviews.

bammo2 · 07-03-2005, 01:27 PM

I'm pretty excited about this. I'm a massive Roald Dahl fan.

Roald HATED the other film with a passion. So much that he refused to be associated with it, and refused the production company the rights to make the Great Glass Elevator. Roald's family have said that this version is much closer to what Roald's original vision was, and believe that he would have loved it.

and that alone is endorsement enough for me.

PS Personally, I cannot stand the Gene Wilder film. Maybe because I had read the book many years before seeing the film, and am a Dahl-ophile

. that film bears very little relation to the book, imho, apart from the characters and the basic storyline framework

. I hope this film lives up to it's possibilities

It scares me that I feel the same way

seriously, how can that man be so hot

Every time I see that trailer it creeps me out

elevation2u · 07-03-2005, 09:34 PM

hehehe i dont think he looks hot at all but he looks friggin cool which he always manages so nicely, yea im looking forward to this having faith in Tim Burton more so than Depp. Tim Burton is one of the best directors ever IMO, he has so meticously crafted his own genre

Im also looking forward to THe Corpse Bride bu Burton, i believe it comes out later this year [?]

Sometime around October, methinks. With Burton behind it, I'm sure it will be great. Obviously evokes Nightmare Before Christmas, which is never a bad thing.

I saw the velvet jacket the other day at Hot Topic...

As one who grew up with the Gene Wilder version, Johnny Depp just doesn't make the cut

ya but its a tim burton movie and tim and johnny are like this

bammo2 · 07-04-2005, 05:01 AM

to me, the most important thing is that the film stays closer to the book than the gene wilder version (which, imho, paid no respect to the story crafted by Dahl)
