Johnny Depp As Willy Wonka?

[Perndog]

I never thought Gene Wilder looked old enough to be Willy Wonka, and neither does Johnny Depp...the whole point was that Wonka was getting too old to run the factory so he needed to find a kid quick while he still had enough energy left in him to teach the kid all the tricks for fifteen years or so. I agree with HickMan...I'd rather they made a new flick based on the book instead of just remaking (or even borrowing heavily from) the movie, which seems to be the case.
