Coming in 2005 — a new film version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Directed by Tim Burton.
Starring Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka.
Hmmmmmmm…
It’s hard for me to see anyone surpassing the inspired lunacy of Gene Wilder as Wonka, but I do tend to like Burton/Depp collaborations. Reserving judgement for now, but it could be worth keeping an eye on.
