Relatedly, I am sooooo over the Tim Burton - Johnny Depp - Helena Bonham Carter oeuvre.

I mean, I still dig big tiddie Goth girls, but not like that.

“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]


Thank God Maggie sorted that all out.

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.

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?

"Tim Burton's Creative Vision" can be summarized by any goon. It's done.

We just had a Flash movie come out starring a person who kidnapped some kids. 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.

No one has proved Arnie Hammer has eaten people.

People get really weird about Gene Wilder. Like yeah he was very funny and his life was tragic, but people talk about him like "There's Jesus Christ, the prophet Muhammad, Buddha, and Gene Wilder."

He's not Randolph Scott.
