Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

The new film is not going to be a remake, and will differ a fair bit from the first movie. Apparently, this new one is going to follow the book more closely and I read that it's not going to be a musical this time.

Also, this one, like the book is titled "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" while the original movie was called "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"

Dunno why the don't do the next book as a movie, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. With today's special effects they cuold have a lot of fun with that story.

Hmmm, I see the guy who plays Dudley in the adaptions of the Harry Potter books being cast as Augustus Gloop.

Should they cast Patricia Routlege at the start as Charlie's mother?

I'd imagine that the Tim Burton version will turn out quite a bit darker than the original.

Possibly in a similar way to the remade version of Batman starring Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholsen, as compared to the campy 60's version with Adam West and Caesar Romero in the major roles.
