So apparently there's another adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in the works.

Augh! Blasphemy! Horror! Heresy! Sacril - wait, what? It's going to be directed by Tim Burton? And Johnny Depp is the frontrunner to play Willy Wonka?

Oh.

Oh my.

Tim Burton. Forget the sugary sweetness, kids. This piece is going to be darker and psychedelic, like a Roald Dahl movie should be.

And since I can't imagine anyone replacing Gene Wilder, it may as well be Johnny Depp. Give me time and I'll warm to the idea.

But as it is, the Burton part is enough to make me hysterically excited. This flick's barely in preproduction and I already can't wait.

I need to read the book again.

I'm so excited it's nauseating.

D'ya think that if we asked him nicely, Johnny would forsake the top hat and wear his pirate hat and be swishy?

Hmm. Well, asking nicely never hurt anything . . .

It certainly didn't hurt Commodore Steve any last night. ^___^

I know, I saw that news a few days ago and almost wet my pants in excitement. <3 I always loved that book.

Having directed/played Violet in a play called "Sameul L. Jackson & the Chocolate Factory," that's a version I'd love to see on the big screen, with SLJ busting a cap in Veruca's ass. But, since I can't see that...this version sounds like a very, *very* good consolation prize.

OhmygodloveTimBurtonandJohnnyDeppsomuchwillwatch! *squeees* Enough fan-girliness, but I watched Sleepy Hollow on the basis of those two names. Wasn't as good as I thought it would be, was pretty bad actually. But Johnny Depp was still amusing and interesting and fantastic.

Anyway, came here to say - Come one, come all, to the Brand Spanking New Part of ALT+F4:http://www.livejournal.com/users/musexmoirai/13988.html
