I'm all about Tim Burton films, so even if I'm a hardcore fan of the original (which wasn't that original because it strayed from the book), I know I won't be disappointed.
I have been so looking forward to it since it was announced. I am partial to the first one, and when I heard of Tim Burton re-doing it, I thought, "Well, it's Burton... love him and his style." Then when I heard Johnny was attached, I thought, "Well, it's Johnny... LOVE me some Johnny."
Johnny, when interviewed, said that he wasn't sure if Burton wanted it to be a musical or not but was totally up to the challenge of singing if the film went that way.
[so wanted to lick the picture when you posted it Leigh.] :D
* also borrowed the pic and posted it in my LJ... :)
same here... im under the belief that if it aint broke, dont fix it. but then again, when there was talk of casting marilyn manson, i was more interested. cos that... would have truly been something to witness...
Since I love the book, but hate the original movie (ducks), and I love both Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, I am all about this movie. If anyone can pull off the both childlike and more sinister aspects of the Willy Wonka character, it's Johnny. I just hope whatever kid they get isn't all annoying like the first one.
