Bad boy turned current critical and audience darling for his turn in Pirates of the Caribbean Johnny Depp may play Willy Wonka for Tim Burton's adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Michael Fleming writes in Variety that "Depp and Burton...came away from their meeting sparked to make the film and negotiations are expected to begin shortly." Additionally, the film would be produced by Brad Grey, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston (via their production company Plan B...so...many...pretty...people...our...head...hurts) and Michael Siegel who manages Roald Dahl's estate. Gothamist thinks this is brilliant. We never thought of Willy Wonka as being sexy, but okay.
Gene Wilder was a great Willy Wonka in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory even though Fleming says Dahl, who adapted his book for the screen, didn't think it was a good movie. But you can get your Fantastic Mr. Fox on by checking out the official Roald Dahl website.

I think it will be a wonderful twist to have Johnny Depp play Willy Wonka. And the Fantastic
Mr. Fox is one of our favorite bedtime story readings, thanks to Jen - you gave the book to
Andrew & Alex. Maybe they can turn that into a movie someday.
Burton + Wonka = The Golden Ticket
yes, johnny has that brooding/weirdo thing down, so he will be perfect as the bizarre willy wonka! i wish it was coming out already. the fact that it's in "meeting" stages is annoying!
i love both johnny depp and tim burton, and i know that they will both bring something to this movie that no one else has to offer... they will make this movie even more bizarre than the last one...i can't wait!!
One word (I think): Oompaloompas!
I think this movie is going to be sweet! I think they should put a dark twist to the movie and have it more of a adult type movie, and not so much for kids. But I know with Depp and Burton they are a winning team.
I was wondering,does anyone know if they have actors in mind for the rest of the cast? Because I would love to have a part in it, but I can't find any audition info. Johnny's gonna be so great as Wonka...I mean, come on, Wonka's such a freaky weirdo, and so is Johnny...I think it's bound to turn out at least as great as the original, if not a million times better (I'm betting on the million times better). Can't wait to see it! Tooooodles!

I think Johnny Depp is sooooooo F***** Hott!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Johnny Depp is the best actor there is!! He has the looks, the talent, & the body! If you dont think he's hott... GO TO H***
I think Johnny Depp's talent is truly not from this earth. He's amazing. He is my favorite actor of all time, I've seen mostly all of this movies. His work is astonishing, he would be an awsome Willy Wonka. He can do it, he's brilliant. I also have seen PLENTY of Tim Burton's movies, he is my favorite director. Put these two together and you have a mighty force of talent. This movie will be great, I have hope in Johnny Depp. Johnny is a genius.
Omg! I so hope Johnny Gets the part.... He has it though I think..... am I right or am I right????
If anyone knows of any audition info please tell me because I'm hoping to become and actress and this would be a great start. So please I am VERY serious about this. I really want a part on a movie or whatever I can get.... Please get it to me somehow. Post it on this site please... maybe....
Bye byes!!! :>

Johnny Depp is the BEST actor No really. Willy Wonka is going to be a great TWIST for him. Secret Window was a GREAT movie, it just made me a lil bit mad that he went crazy ;-), but... no one was thinking he would. So it was great. I would love to meet him. But hey watching his movies is great too. Can't wait to see him as Willy Wonka. It is going to be great. I wonder how much they will make it like the first one?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Johnny depp is a great actor but I don't think anyone can replace Gene Wilder. He is just awsome!
Johnny Depp is soooo CUTE!!!!!

hmmmmmm, horny ladies!!!! whats your number?
i meann tracy is right! man you girls, or guyz whoever ya'll are are gross! god, but i really wanna be part of your party!. (giggle) hmmmmmmmm call me.
hey. i think johnny depp and tim are awesome (alone and together) but Johnny said he would let Marilyn Manson play the role if he wanted to. Wouldnt that be cool and dark if Manson played Wonka? I'm not against Johnny, and i'm not trying to start any contreversy, but i would much rather see marilyn manson play willy wonka than johnny depp =( sorry
OMG i am sooo happy that johnny is gonna play willy wonka!!! i heard that tim burton doesnt really like the original so it might not be like the 1st movie.. even though it would crack me up to see johnny doing the scene in the boat where wonka goes a bit crazy lol johnny if u ever read this (unlikely) u should come do something in WV where i live!! i doubt he would though cause the only thing to do would be sign autographs and i really doubt he would do that.. i wouldnt either but who cares about me lol also u guys are really gross.. this comment place is not about sex its about an amazing actor that doesnt deserve to have u all being disgusting on here!! by the way kiki.. he and vanessa are not officially married.. and obviously u havent seen potc if u think he's ugly and i have to say something more about tim burton: HE IS SO AWESOME!!! and I LOVE YOU JOHNNY DEPP and pardon johnny for the slightly creepy email address.. which u should feel free to email by the way lol
it will be really interesting to see how johnny depp depicts willy wonka. i've heard rumors that it will be a little more darker, like joe M said, but i'm not sure. i was wondering if anyone knew when it's coming out....i think it will come out in 2005, but then again, im not sure. i really admire his talent and his bravery to take 'risky' roles,and i would love to see him act in a roald dahl book.
i hate johnny depp too but only for the stupidest reasons. Im sure hes probably a nice guy, but who isnt in the eyes of the public. hey marilyn manson is too ugalay to play anything. I hate depp
The classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has been a favourite from childhood. This new film will rule..after seeing Blow and F&L in Las Vegas I gained an even more heightened appreciation for Johnny. Edward Scissor Hands is amazing as well. All you losers writing crap about nothing on this site are a waste of time and space. To those who care...did you know that The Last Unicorn movie is being re-done in 2005? I am sycked for that.
When I heard that Johnny depp was going to probably play the lead role i was happy because he is a great actor and all his movies rock!
i can't wait to see thee movie!
i want to act in this movie! im mean, tim burton the best director and johnny depp the best actor!! cool
i want to act in this movie! i mean, tim burton the best director and johnny depp the best actor!! cool

Gene Wilder can never be topped for his performance. We all know that Johnny is the MAN but seriously, Tim burton has enigmatically transformed into the DOUCHEBAG over the years.. I mean what the fuck was with planet of the apes?!?!? How the fuck can he diss the original Wonka flick? Did you all know that this script is LESS DARK!?!? LESS DARK!?!?!? HAS TIM BURTON FLIPPED HIS SHIT!? Has Mr. Edward Scissorhands Tim Burton turned into a FLAMING BAG OF DOUCHE WITH NOZZLES!?!? GOD DAMN! ROOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRR
An old-school fan of the original Wonka
Johnny Depp is the hottest thing ever!!!!!!!!!!
He would be great for this movie

Johnny Depp is sooooo hott!!! I reckon he will be awesome as willy wonka coz he's so wierd!!!!!!!!!And to all yall gene wilder fans, he was OK in Willy wonka and the.... But he was so damn annoying!! He sounded so...argh!! and they need a remake of this movie coz it was ages ago wen theymade it and the lollies looked like balloons...

I think Marilyn Manson would make a wonderful Willy Wonka, I really want him to have the part!!!
Why do they need to remake the film anyway? The original was just fine. Gene Wilder was perfect for Wonka. Depp seems too much like... well, Wilder was perfect.
Tim Burton is still an awesome director even if his career seems to be going downhill. "Big Fish" was pretty good, I have to say. And the concept of Marilyn Manson playing Willy Wonka is somewhat creepy. It'd be an interesting role for him, but as an archetype not a character, because I can't really imagine his bizarre visage donning that hat and flippin' out with a cane and such. I guess the main reason he doesn't really fit the role is just because when you think of Wonka, you think of Wilder.
I mean, come on people. Admit it!
to use Johnny Depp as wonka in my oppinion THE BEST FUCKING IDEA EVER HE was the best captin jack in the pirites of the caribean so why not use the best actor in the GREATEST BOOK TURNED FILM EVER SINCE THE STORY HARRY POTTER and that is just it
PS.
LOVE JOHNNY DEPP FOREVER
Johnny Depp is the single GREATEST guy in the entire world!! He is fricken my hero and I am his favorite lil fan!! ok well every1 is i guess but he is sooooo hott and Johnny, ou will be the best Willy Wonka this world has ever seen! GO SEE THE MOVIE OR DIE!!!!! i love u johnny, forever
in the past i have seen Tim Burton films with boy Johhny in it and i loved them. after seeing that Depp has based the character on Marilyn Manson, i fliped. he said that he wanted to add that dark edge to the character. i cant wait.
November 13th all you Wonka fans. I want it NOOOOOOOOW! (sound familiar?)
