Ok, so it might not get near Gene Wilder's dangerous-eyed portrayal but still, Tim Burton/Johnny Depp/Roald Dahl.

A genius mixture.

The trailer looks suitably odd and menacing.

And I'm not comparing it to the original film.

One agrees with your hypothesis of the film.

Being Burton I think it's going to look more cheerful and fantastical, but the undertones will be more sinister.

In conclusion, Mav is an idiot.

A slant? You realise this is more faithful than the original film don't you?

Nah, I'm not convinced.

If they manage to maintain a consistent style into which that fits, then it'd probably be a worthy slant on the book, rather than faithful adaptation.

Depends on what you're looking for. Whatever happens though, I will be going to see it.

Oh dear, you've got that totally wrong.

The 'ew' is brilliant. Think about it, you're in an amazingly weird place being led by an equally strange and rather sinister man, of which you know nothing about. Some fat kid falls into a river of chocolate flowing through a surreal landscape, shouting for help as appears he's about to die and Wonka just says 'Ew' in a macabre tone. It's wonderful.

Urgh... trailer is far too camp, slapstick and American. I mean, saying "Ew" like some teenage girl from the states, running into the camera... all not really needed.

Could be good, but keep it British please.

Johhny Depp could pretty much play any part that didn't involve Muscles and Machoism. His range is right up there with Pitt and Hanks.

This should be good. I only hope they use him as well as he could be used in such a crazy film. With Burton at the helm, I'm not that worried.

BIG FISH, anyone?

Insane.
