Re: Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory(c'mon! you knew i would eventually make this thread)

for those intrested, there's a book that came out late last year(around november/december) called "Pure Imagination" by Mel Stuart. it's the only recorded publication of the making of "Willy Wonka..". ...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!! ..& a bit of a tidbit: i just found out that Tim Burton will be directing the remake of "Willy Wonka..", so, it IS going to happen, unfortunately. ..i wonder if Marilyn Manson will still be on to play Willy? i'd figure if Burton's helming the project, then he...

In general I am not in favor of this movie being remade, but if a remake is in the works I think Tim Burton is the ideal director to do it. He has such a vivid imagination, and he could put his own whole twist on the story that us fans of the original might love. Edward Scissorhands was genius. I agree that casting is key -- especially with the kids. The whole reason the original child actor playing Charlie was so effective was that he was sympathetic but not too "cutesy" in that annoying...

This was a fantastic movie ahead of its time, really well made... shouldn't be re done, even by tim burton..... Gene Wilder amazing... just a great story (Roahl Dahl was a genius)... it was so good cos it was disturbing and twisted, but had the juxtaposition of also being sweet with its 'moral' tale of being good and caring and kind... real interesting.... i hate it when there is a 'moral tale' but with this story i love it! One personal tale... one year.... having a shitty day... it was...

We were excited to hear that Marylin Manson was in line to play Willy, but now the official word is that Burton has cast his recurring star Johnny Depp in the lead role, who will probably do a better, if drastically different job overall than the former. I am only a little disappointed, as I bet that Manson and Burton would have come up with something tremendous for the riverboat scene. Apparently Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are executive producers...

I have very mixed feelings about this movie being remade AT ALL. But if someone's gonna do it, Tim Burton is the best choice. I'm also iffy on the choice of Johnny Depp as Wonka. He's just too pretty or something, even if he is a great actor. I think Marilyn Manson as Wonka would have been a bolder, more imaginative choice ... and definately taken things in a darker direction. Just the visual image of him interacting with children would put the production over the top. Marilyn Manson is...

i see what you're saying, Lex...& i agree with you. ...but i still feel this will suffice. personally, i don't think the Dahl's wanted Manson as Wonka - nor the dark version of the story. ....also, something in the back of my FABULOUS mind tells me they opted for Depp(as well as Burton). ...& look at the bitch NOW!

While this probably doesn't qualify as a "cult" movie (and I wasn't sure whether to post it here or in Movies, Movies, Movies! in the Versailles Room), it is one of my obsessions so I decided to post it here in Hopelessly Devoted. Long derided as "the most expensive movie ever made", I have always loved CLEOPATRA, starring Elizabeth Taylor and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz. The sheer over-the-top grandiosity of this film is the very reason I LOVE it and why it remains one of my favorite...

I've known about the Dee F. story for some time actually, heard it through the grapevine. And what a story! Can you imagine, you're in a homeless shelter, on crack laying on a stretcher and from out of nowhere LIZ TAYLOR looks down at you and comments on your teeth? How surreal! Hon, if that's not enough to scare you straight nothing is. Though there are other actresses I love, I've always felt Elizabeth Taylor was the Ultimate Movie Star from the standpoint that she embodies all that...

oh my god - yes! How could I have forgotten Butterfield 8????? I own that one, hon. "Face it, Momma ... I was the slut of all time!" That opening sequence is all too familiar indeed, and did you catch how she unapologetically orders more french fries in the diner scene?!! Word has it the costume designers worked round the clock to make make her look good because she was beginning to balloon. However, I think the trivia is a bit off here. The movie she made just 3 weeks after Mike Todd was...

Liz, was off her cake as usual in her own lil superstar bubble... she-as usual- was sick and was showing a cast on her foot... she was also giggly giddy schoolgirl at time... To be honest I was flicking between that and some other shite on the telly so didn't really take much notice.. they did show a fab Herb Ritts tv ad that was made just before his death for her fragrance... Her hair was awful really yellow over bleached blonde ... wish she did that dark hair again.. she was so...
