Johnny Depp speaks on Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory remake
Johnny Depp is keen to take on the lead role in Tim Burtons's, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory remake, but he'll happily step aside if rocker Marilyn Manson wants the part.
Manson and Depp are the only names in the running to recreate the beloved ROALD DAHL eccentric, and Depp admits the rocker would be the perfect Wonka.
He says, "It's an exciting possibility for me to go back and do another film with Tim. It would be a ball. I'll keep all my digits crossed, as it were.
"That said, I'd go and see Manson as Willy Wonka. I'd go and see him in anything."
I happen to agree with Mr. Depp. Marilyn Manson would make an excellent Willy Wonka. Your thoughts?
"We're all in the gutter, but some of us look up to the stars, and you can be happy in the gutter if you don't know to look up. So the people who can become addicted and driven and sort of obsessed by music are the ones who look up and see the heights they can try to get to. But that drive never lets them be happy where they are" - Mike Turner

<p>And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping. The moon tells me a secret. My confidant. As full and bright as I am, this light is not my own. A million light reflections pass over me. It's source is bright and endless. She resuscitates the hopeless. Without her we are lifeless satellites dreaming dreams. And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt. Don't want to be down here feeding my narcissism. I must crucify the ego before it's far too late. I pray the light lifts me out before I pine away.
i hated the first one... but Manson+Children=stupid/wrong/retarted

I think it would be great! I would prefer Depp but it would be cool to see Manson anyway

this is very very wrong... the fact that they are even attempting to remake the movie is a shame. The original movie has a cult following. Why would you ruin that? It'd be like remaking the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's just not right.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

I kind of agree that they shouldn't remake the movie, the first one was great and I don't think they could top it. If they did remake it though, it would be entertaining at the very least to see Manson play the part.

And this one goes out to my man taking cover in the trenches with a gun in his hand
Then gets home and no one flinches when he can't feed his fam...
Agreed. Don't make the movie. But if they do, for the love of God, don't put him in it. I really don't have anyting against the guy, besides utterly disgusting me, but I just don't think he fits the part.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.
You likely wouldn't even recognize him.
