Should be good.

I cite "Planet of the Apes" as a counterexample.

Granted, everything else he's done has pretty much rocked.

Indeed that one is the one stinker he's done.
Just about everything else rocks though :)

And sweets. And bad things happening to sickening children. Hurrah!

Mmm, chocolate factories...

Any chance of an Elevator?

Not just "Chocolate Factory"

But potentially with Johnny Depp as Willy Wonker.
Though Mr. Depp has apparently said that if Marilyn Manson goes for it, then he will pull out in favour of Mr. Manson.
Mr. Depp allegedly said that he believed Mr. Manson would make "a better Willy Wonker". Personally I think this is a mis-quote and that Wonker has been mis-spelt.

Emphesis of that word just makes me think of an Aerosmith song...

I do seem to remember Mr.Manson has somewhat of a charlie and the chocolate factory obsession...

Jonny Depp or Marilyn Manson - thats hardly the decision of a lifetime is it? One, a fantastic actor with already a firm track record in a Tim Burton classic not to mention as the best pirate thats every sailed in any movie ever, or... well, he sings and he's a great showman - but no, do not act!

The Depp thing is definately true.
The bit about Manson I'm not so sure about (*pokes silver_daisy* Oi is this true or what?)

I heard Christopher Walken was tipped for playing Willy Wonka.
