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?

Manson doesn't get as much credit as he deserves because of his eccentricity.
Go Manson.

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 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.

no, no no. Johnny Depp should get this part.
and like J-Neli I think it is lame to even remake it. And if they do, maybe Marilyn Manson can play an oompa-loompa instead.

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.

The definately shouldn't remake it. Nothing could compare with the original!
Marilyn Manson would just be WRONG though. Urgh. No way.

It's not like he'll be in full make-up!
You likely wouldn't even recognize him.
I don't think they should do a re-make though. The originally Wonka was great!

^yeah, although I'd love to see a creepy version of ww. That is to say, purposely creepy, the old one is already quite sinister.

Manson wouldn't be creepy in it... He wouldn't be wearing any make-up, for one thing.
