From slashdot.org new remakes coming soon:

The trailer for Tim Burton's version of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' is online at Yahoo. The movie stars Johnny Depp and scheduled for release in July of '05. I think Tim Burton is the perfect director for a new Willie Wonka movie.

Our first peek at Steven Spielberg's contemporary version of War of the Worlds is available from Apple. Spielberg's installment is just one of many that have been developed throughout the years including a film produced last year in England.

Hmm, not so sure about Depp as Wonka

From slashdot.org new remakes coming soon:

Oh no...I cannot believe anyone is going to try to touch Willie Wonka...I cannot stand Tim Burton movies...

 

[I Are Baboon]

Both look like they'll be cool flicks.

 

[N8 v2.0]

I think the Burton/Depp combo will make for an outstanding remake of Wonka.

At least it's not Marylin Manson playing Wonka.

This movie is going to SUCK in comparison to the original.

Rating based on the trailer?

There is only one Willy Wonka....the original.....it'd be like remaking the Wizard of OZ.

Blasphemy

Everything Depp touches turns to gold these days.

And a Burton/Depp Wonka should be pretty trippy.

I think Manson could play a cool Wonka.

Considering that the original, while great, was a remake of a book... I dont think it's off limits. Tim Burton is an artisitic genious.

 

[Skookum]

Haha everyone is cryin blasphemy on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but not the War of the Worlds......

Reasons why i think both will be good.
Both have a great director/actor combo
Both are going to be made for more of an adult audience than the originals

Johnny Depp looks more like he's dressed for a remake of A Clockwork Orange than Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Burton should have just made a move of the Great Glass Elevator instead of re-doing the Chocolate Factory.
