If any current working actor is going to play Willy Wonka, it should be Jack Black.

The Oompa Loompas can be Kyle Gass.

The problem is that they're going for an origin story.

We need an ending story.

It's like 40 years later and Wonka is like a boxer who thinks he's got one more fight left in him. Retirement just isn't working, anyway, and he wants to die like he lived: Making candy.

Harrison Ford throws on the iconic purple hat and goes to work.

I just had a few other thoughts on this trailer...

It appears to be a musical with all the dancing and fantasy scenes, and I know this sounds odd because it's not like it's a requirement for a trailer for such a film to feature them, but you'd think they'd have given us a 'taste' (heh) of something of a rip-roaring song or more than what feels like the bare trailer music we're getting.

I know we have time for more trailers between now and release, but that just feels a bit off given the presentation of this trailer.

Roald Dahl originally wanted Spike Milligan for the role back in '71 but that obviously didn't work out, and that would've been a much different film, lol. Apparently all six Monty Python guys were also interested in the role but the studio nixed all of them because their profiles weren't big enough at the time. John Cleese as Wonka would have been something wildly different all over again.

Speaking of profiles not fitting the film, Sammy Davis Jr was apparently super keen to play Bill the candy store owner so he could sing the 'Candy Man' song but he also got turned down, allegedly because he was too famous for such a small role and they felt that "the presence of a big star in the candy store scene would break the reality". Hmmmmm. :rolleyes:
He wasn't even that much of a fan of the song and thought it was "too saccharine" but he recorded and released it anyway and ironically it was the biggest hit of his life and the only time he ever reached #1 on the Billboard chart. He was pretty fuckin' pissed that after his decades and decades of work it was the dumb Willy Wonka song that people knew him for. :v:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz1syhcU39U

The guy who wrote the Candy Man song for the film was also super hosed off about how it all turned out and hated the way the actor sung it. He begged the studio to let him re-do it himself but they refused.

quote:

Lyricist Anthony Newley has said in interviews that upon hearing Woods' rendition for the first time, he was appalled at the lack of commerciality in the performance – worrying that it would possibly be depriving the duo of not only a hit record, but an Oscar nomination as well.

Newley's distaste for the performance became so intense that he was willing to forego his own performance fee if he were to be allowed to re-arrange and re-record the song himself as well as pay for the session. When denied by producer David Wolper due to contractual stipulations by film composer Walter Scharf, Newley tried another tactic: lobbying to be allowed to at least re-dub his own vocal, possibly becoming the ghost voice for Woods; however, Woods's contract forbade that as well. Anthony Newley recorded his own version for MGM Records in 1971 before Sammy Davis Jr.'s hit.

Roald Dahl wrote the original script for the film but the studio went behind his back to bring in someone to "punch it up" and change it around and when the film came out Dahl hated it and completely disowned it. He was pretty much bitter about it for the rest of his life and refused to let it or Glass Elevator be adapted again during his lifetime.

Trivia: Grandpa couldn’t get out of bed because he dutch ovened the covers so severely. Everyone in the room suffocates as soon as he whooshes the blankets and fills the room with unbreathable toxic gas. The movie that we see thereafter is the DMT-saturated final 20 seconds of Charlie’s brain shutting down. This is confirmed during the Fizzy Lifting Drinks scene when the characters fart and ascend towards heaven.

I have no feelings about this film either way. Make the great glass elevator, that book was weird as poo poo and those aliens scared the poo poo out of me as a little kid.

I wonder if they'll bother to make Great Glass Elevator this time or just keep remaking the same loving story over and over.
