Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Oh yeah. Duh...

Oh yeah. Duh...

It's ok, it took me a while too.

He can sing, just watch Cry Baby.

I'm just wondering if he can sing the role of Sweeney seeing as how it's a different vocal range than he is.

That's good that he can sing. I watched the stage play before and the singing in it was top notch.

 

[PhoenixSparrow]

Johnny Depp wasn't singing in Cry Baby, but he can though, so I don't no why he didn't.

I feel so cheated.

I mean I knew Amy Locane had Rachel Sweet singing for her, but I really thought Johnny did his own singing.

 

[PhoenixSparrow]

Sorry you feel cheated, lol James Intveld sings his parts.

 

[SolidSnakeMGS]

They've done six movies together. Scorsese and De Niro have done eight movies together. And John Wayne and John Ford made a s--tload together.

Let's not forget Kurosawa and Mifune.

I think he mean quality, not quantity

Eh, the only good Burton/Depp movie so far is Ed Wood and MAYBE Edward Scissorhands. So IMO Scorsese/De Niro, Ford/Wayne, etc. have more quality and quantity collaborations.

 

[Mr. Socko]

Depp doesn't usually. As other have said, it wasn't him in Cry Baby nor did he sing in Corpse Bride. However he took many singing lessons for this role and through post-production, I'll sure he'll do well. And MGS, I think they've done very well is most of their collaborations, but their work isn't for everyone so I definitely can see if some people don't like 'em.

 

[PhoenixSparrow]

And he was in a rock band before he was an actor XD
But I don't think people should judge him, till they've actually watched and heard him sing, I think he'll be good, he certainly looks the part! lol

 

[scifiwolf]

I think Johnny will do well with the singing. He's very good at learning the nuances of the human voice. I remember hearing that he doesn't use language coaches for his accents. If he's been getting training, he'll be fine.

Thats crazy talk! Edward Scissorhands is a masterpiece. Ed Wood is great. Sleepy Hollow was a fun old skool horror movie. Willy Wonka was really good and Corpse Bride was as well.

Sleepy Hollow was a bore and an example of terrible pacing. I was severly disappointed in that one. Burton should have hit that one out of the park. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was an unnecessary overindulgence, not to mention overdone. But I admit I haven't seen Corpse Bride. I forgot about that one.

So...you never read the book, huh?

I enjoy Sleepy Hollow alot!

 

[Majik1387]

The only people who didn't enjoy Sleepy Hollow were people expecting to see a Headless Horseman taking out almost an entire village where it's only saviors were Ichabod and whatever Ricci's character name was.

Completely agree.

 

[JP]

I'm not a fan of the show.. or Sondheims score.. but I guess I'll see this just to support the genre.

 

[Majik1387]

[JP]

What? I appreciate the score. It's lovely.. just not my cup of tea. That and the fact that the two main characters are horribly miscast adds to my distaste.

 

[Leto Atrides]

I'm excited for the movie, and willing to give Depp the benefit of the doubt, but I'm not really expecting much out Helena Bonham Carter.

 

[chamber-music]

as long as they don't let sacha baron choen sing it should be alright.

 

[Leto Atrides]

Pirelli is supposed to have such an exaggerated campy voice that actually having a good singing voice isn't necessary as long as he can stay on pitch.
