SLICK GOKU BABY posted:They should do a Willy Wonka prequel and have it focus on Willy Wonka enslaving the Oompla Loompa's and making the sing and dance for his entertainment. In the original version of the book, the oompa loopas were black pygmy tribes people from Africa. That was apparently offensive enough at the time that rohld Dahl made them orange in the next edition. Yes folks, Dahl went WOKE

“In the version first published, [the Oompa-Loompas were] a tribe of 3,000 amiable black pygmies who have been imported by Mr. Willy Wonka from ‘the very deepest and darkest part of the African jungle where no white man had been before.’ Mr. Wonka keeps them in the factory, where they have replaced the sacked white workers. Wonka’s little slaves are delighted with their new circumstances, and particularly with their diet of chocolate. Before they lived on green caterpillars, beetles, eucalyptus leaves, ‘and the bark of the bong-bong tree.'” [from Jeremy Treglown’s Roald Dahl: A Biography]

Prequel should be heart of darkness / Wonka crossover

The time between Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was 34 years. This new movie is coming out only 18 years after Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. If this pattern continues, we can expect another movie in about 9 years, then 5, then 3. Eventually reaching a "Wonka Singularity" in which a new piece of Wonka media is released every single day. This pattern becomes even more terrifying if we factor in Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory which came out in 2017. That's 12 years after Charlie and just 6 years ago. That means we're only 3 years from the next Wonka movie. God help us all. Or, should I say, Wonka help us all as He is our new God.

redshirt posted:Seeking the deepest, darkest chocolate down the river... The Doors play.... Now imaging it as a sequel... Wonka as Colonel Kurtz clings to power. He has gone truly mad and has retreated into the bowels of his chocolate factory/candy jungle, protected by a tribe of wild oompa loopas who worship him as a god. He's begun to engage in increasingly violent and disturbing tactics against his competitors like Slugworth. Charlie Bucket slowly makes his way up the chocolate river on that psychedelic river boat and ultimately decapitates Wonka with some kind of candy machete.

If someone told me this was a Fantastic Beasts side story I would not have immediately written the idea off. How would one describe as something looking magical and fantastical but in a highly negative way

hot cocoa on the couch posted:the johnny depp version was good The only cool part of that movie was how Christopher Lee played Wonka's dentist father who forbade him from eating candy. I think more children's stories need uncomfortable Freudian conflicts. William Bear fucked around with this message at 15:22 on Jul 12, 2023 |

I don’t like the Gene Wilder version where he gets all pissed off for no reason to cause drama. I don’t like the Depp version where he acts like Michael Jackson in his love for children and childish things. Would be funny to see Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator which would be absolutely terrible movie.

A Fancy Hat posted:Let's drain the color from everything. “We need only three colors for this fantasy film: the coldest desaturated blue, wispy cloud gray, and just a dash of the drabbest desaturated yellow to contrast with the blue. Blue and yellow are complementary color harmonies, after all.” “GENIUS! We can apply this logic to most modern movies!”

so, Jonny Depp was a lead actor movie star type known for taking quirky comedy roles in movies throughout his career already, who did a willy wonka movie late in his career, already established and successful, probably had a lot of fun doing it partnering with Tim Burton: a visionary director with a record of great original visually creative movies he’d cast Depp in, so it made sense on several levels and produced an ok movie Timotheyieë Chândlõmæy is apparently a vat grown genetically engineered by hollywood child actor raised to fame by decree of the lizard alien billionaire overlords who have been casting him in lots of stuff he’s young, he’s early career, he has no comedic work that I am aware of, there is no Tim Burton guy with a creative vision behind this, and his main selling point is looking like a 14 year old girl with a mustache ok?

Amie Hammer is a cannibal rapist and Hollywood kept trying to make him a thing for like half a decade. Big Hollywood producers are desperate to create a new superstar actor and long ago decided the trick to doing this was attaching a white dude to some somewhat well-known IP and hoping for the best.

Tim Burton’s spooky goth thing is mostly nostalgia now and Depp Wonka felt like they were out a of gas a bit, so I’m especially confused why someone thought another Wonka made sense now without even a “Tim Burton” to style it up or a Depp to mug the camera

Roald Dahl wrote a story about neighbors who make a plan to rape each other's wives and it works. They rape each other's wives.
