Trailer for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is up!!

[supernova]

Johnny Depp and Tim Burton are at it again! I can't wait! :bounce:

The trailer is on 99 flavors of crack without a square of Charmin to wipe. It's mondo bizarro - and it scares me. Mommy, I wanna go home! Johnny Depp looks... well... he looks... He looks like he's coming for your soul. And he knows it is delicious! And that dentist. Man, you walk into a dentist office and see that man with tooth tools... RUN! The film looks absolutely unhinged, as a Wonka film should. And that song... it is playing and replaying in my mind like a damnedable jingle of mouseketeer sirens luring me to my death. BEWARE! This is some SCARY Stuff. Dahl might have been quite proud of this version of CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY...

1. hey Ms. Nova

did you see the Lewis Carroll bio with Depp yet? ( Finding Neverland?) Was it any good? Got great reviews.

[supernova]

7. It's very good

and it's J M Barrie, the author of Peter Pan. Definitely go see it; if it's in your area.

It's very sweet and very touching. Bring your hankies. :cry: :sniff:

9. everything he is in is so good.

He picks great roles.

[supernova]

13. He really does,

and I'll be so happy for him when JD finally gets the Oscar he deserves.

2. LOL it looks kinda creepy... I LOVE IT! CANT WAIT!

3. As a Depp, Dahl and Burton fan

Thanks for the heads up!

[supernova]

8. You're welcome

:hi:

We've been monitoring the development of this movie over at one of the JD fansites. It's nice to see the trailer finally up! :D

4. Whoohoo, I can't wait, I can't wait I can't wait

now I have something to look forward to. It looks so creepy! so strange. I'm gonna love it!!!!!! happy happy happy!

[Fenris]

5. That looks so fucking twisted.

:thumbsup:

[supernova]

10. Yep.

Amen to being twisted. :evilgrin:

[Joylaughter]

6. Depp is the best

I only wish they'd given the role of Grampa Joe to Gene Wilder. That would have been ideal. Can someone please send me two crates of Wonka Bars? That last Golden Ticket has to be somewhere! I'll pay any price!

[Shakespeare]

11. Wow...he's like a cross between Dr. Evil and Michael Jackson!

Wonderfully weird--can't wait to see it.

[supernova]

14. Giggle!

:D I haven't heard it put that way before, but it fits. :-)

[DrWeird]

12. Didn't think it looked very good.

The last shot shows Willy Wonka performing a pratfall. Willy Wonka isn't supposed to be a goofy bufoon.

And that sure as hell better not have been the Oompah-Loompahs singing.

[supernova]

15. No, it's not a pratfall

He's bumping into a camera or a window, not sure which. But, knowing Johnny, once we see the whole story, it will fit just fine.

[DrWeird]

17. What do you think a pratfall is?

It's supposed to make the audience say "ha ha! He bumped into a window and fell down! He's so stupid ha ha ha!." You know, like Jar Jar Binks.

Sure, maybe there's a decent explanation. But the fact that they advertise it as if that's what the movie is makes me want to not see the movie.

[supernova]

18. A pratfall is , you know,

falling. He didn't fall.

Don't worry. I feel too good for you to bother me today.

edit: If you don't like it, don't go. I'm not tying you to this thread.... yet. }(

[DrWeird]

20. Looked like he fell to me.

Regardless, pratfalling does not need to involve falling, simply making an error that causes one to look foolish. And Willy Wonka is not supposed to be foolish.

The comment about the Oompah Loompahs stands.

[meegbear]

16. This looks wild!

Love the shades!

Burton surrealism at his best.

[supernova]

19. I can't wait to see the rest of the story.
