No, just... no.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory does not need a franchise and I'm having trouble understanding how it would work.
Didn't this get a reboot 10 years ago? And who really wants to see Willy Wonka before he became a choclatier?
Neo is also "dead". Shit, they'll have the machines upload their minds or whatever in the Matrix. Bam! They're gods now.
Wait, I completely forgot about Gremlins 2 getting meta
WB is so fucking thirsty for another film franchise it's pathetic.
I guess it couldn't be worse than the Tim Burton one?
Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator is a masterpiece that most people don't even know exists even if they liked Charlie and the Chocolate factory.Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator is some goddamn bullshit, so I could see WB trying to take that on.
Looking forward to the Fantastic Mr Fox prequel.
BEFORE HE WAS FANTASTIC...
Roald Dahl denied permission to adapt the sequel after he hated the original Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, and he never finished the third book.Has anyone ever tried to bring the actual sequels to the cinema? Why make a prequel when you can make a trilogy of the books?
Will it be about his adventures in space that he clearly had prior to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory where he saved the Earth from aliens who wanted to consume the entire human race?
also I hope everyone who complains About how Hollywood is out of ideas and makes too many reboots/remakes went to see all of the dozens of decent original films that totally bombed in say the last 5 years . It's easy to call execs out but much harder to do a bit of self reflection. Ask yourself what original movies have I went to see or supported by buying digitally or on blu ray in the last few years?? Statistically speaking your probably part of the problem.
I hope they introduce post-modern Facebook Grandpa Joe.
Oh I know all about the second book, but that mentions Willy Wonka has encountered the aliens before and he knows all about how they wiped out the populations of Mars, Venus and Earth's moon. I want to see his first encounter with them in hisWait are you kidding or do you not know that's kind of the plot of the second book?
So is this gonna fuck up the Wilder version of the character or attempt to follow Captain Daddy Issues from Burton's?
No, just... no.
