Fantasy Warner Bros to reboot Willy Wonka

[Lencho01]

Exclusive: Donald Glover, Ryan Gosling Lead WB’s Willy Wonka Shortlist

 

[Spider-Fan]

I think this suits Glover more.

 

[Mandon Knight]

If you want a like for like of Wilder, then Simon Helberg is your man, he is Gene Wilder incarnate. His mannerisms, his voice, his eyes, his everything.

 

[Aximili86]

Don't watch Big Bang, but I'd take Helberg anyday for another shot at this than Glover or Gosling.

Do we really need another frickin' Wonka movie though? The Depp one doesn't feel that long ago.

 

[Spider-Fan]

That was nearly 13 years ago (late 2005). This wouldn't likely be released until 2019 or 2020. So nearly 15 years

All three choices sound solid and I'm sure Paul king will deliver a solid movie but I don't think many people are demanding another willy wonker film. Without some stellar reviews or great word of mouth I think this film will struggle at the box office.

 

[Hurm...]

Good choices, but I'm not too keen on Ezra Miller.

I’d be interested in seeing what Glover could do. There’s no need for a prequel, though!

Is this the origin movie? I have that script. I might read it now. lol

 

[Drizzle]

I hope Glover gets it. I think he could do much better in the role than Depp did and he'd bring in a lot of people who would have ignored the movie otherwise (like myself).

I'd rather see him play Wilder in a biopic than a carbon copy of Wilder's Wonka, unless it's a sequel to the original like Mary Poppins Returns where they adapt Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, but I don't think that's ever going to happen.

I repeat:

I'll say one thing and only one thing about this (I'll probably end up saying more than one thing, but **** off): If this movie has a bunch of delicious sounding candy bars and Warner Bros. doesn't secure some sort of license to make the bars a reality, I'm ****ing SUING.

I still want a Scrumdidlyumptious Bar, dammit.

 

[David H.]

Too bad Depp already did Teddy Perkins Wonka.

 

[pixen]

Ezra Miller would be my pick. He has a very odd vibe to him and it’d fit nicely.

Man, back around the '05 movie they released a bar called Willy Wonka's Mud Sludge. Normal size and king. Discontinued a year or two later, if that.

To this day, the best chocolate bar I've ever had.

Sad.

 

[Lily Adler]

Great chance to have the golden ticket movie pass.

That doesn't ring any bells for me. I just remember a so-called Wonka Bar that was chocolate with graham cracker bits. Which, I mean... really? Way to pull out all the stops, guys.

 

[Silvermoth]

I definitely want to see Willy wonka dancing shirtless singing “this is Loompaland”

 

[DarkKnight]

My god another one already?

 

[GreenKToo]

Well, I just, I don't know......really?

 

[CJ]

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is one of those movies that doesn't need to be remade. The Depp remake was.. Okay I guess, but I really don't want another one.

 

[Alien Anal]

My god another one already?

Of all places to be saying "another one already?"

This isn't Reddit or Facebook...You can come to a nerdy ass website and discuss these movies that are pumped out continuously with out having to be "shocked" that they are remaking or rebooting a franchise.

Its becoming all too common especially for films that aren't all that old. But whatever, I'm sure some people will enjoy it. Good for them. This will just be another pass for me. But yes, I was shocked when I seen this, so yes, I still feel my "Another one already?" comment reflects my personal feelings on the topic at hand.

Willy Wonka Going the Prequel Route According to Producer

A prequel film will focus on the famed candy man and how he came to be.

Ok, I guess.

 

[CJ]

Eh.
