Title: Chocolate Factory Poll
Post by: chocadmin on December 11, 2004, 08:36:38 am

Vote now on whether you're looking forward to the new film, do you
think it'll be a hit or a miss? Do you have any opinion on whether
it'll be better than the Gene Wilder version?

I am looking forward to seeing it and I hope it is as good as the first.

But can the original ever be bettered?

Chocolate is good for gold fishes.  Especially fishes that live in tanks in Gwangju.

Yes, i have heard that the civil unrest there has become quite unacceptable. As for the film, they are up against it as the original was/is a classic... Fingers crossed eh?

Why remake something that is a classic and is OK as it is? I don't think the
film has dated really and is still entertaining to watch so what can they
add except bells and whistles and computer animation? Grrr

I don't recall any bells and whistles in LOTR I, II & III!

I KNEW it was missing something.

I recall some bells in the hunchback of notre dame if that helps.

Think the plan is to make it more like the book coz Roald Dahl never
approved of the original film we all like (hence the name being willy
wonka and chocolate factory rather than charlie and the...).

They originally said it was going to be darker (certainly less
singing), although the screenwriter  said the original was darker
than he thought on watching it after writing the new screenplay.

Now news that it's going to be filmed for IMAX  http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=109&ST ORY=/www/story/12-16-2004/0002636697&EDATE=

(any of you who've seen an IMAX film will know how cool this is).
