I'm sorry, but I do not like the make-up nor the hat, and I especially HATE the hair!

Posted: 11/8/04 at 10:11amsometimes these early teasers actually seem to have nothing to do with the eventual film - I say wait a while and see what the film itsel looks like before vetoeing it...

Posted: 11/8/04 at 10:12amNot really vetoing it. Just really think that hair is wrong for the character. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing it.

It will be interesting to see a more faithful adaptation of CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY -- not that I don't like WILLY WONKA.
That being said: the concept of Wonka on the poster reminds me of the ChildCatcher in CHITTY.

I like the poster a lot, actually. Granted I haven't read the book since I was a kid so I'm not sure how the image lines up to the character description.
But as an image I think its great.

Posted: 11/8/04 at 11:56amI'm sorry, I think that poster is dreadful!!! The hair, the pose, it's awful...I was REALLY looking forward to this movie, now i'm nervouse!! I'm a big fan of the original book AND the movie, and I adore Johnny, so I guess i'll just have to wait and see. But yea, that poster is not promising...blah.

Burton's done plenty of good work post-Beetlejuice.
Planet of the Apes notwithstanding, of course.

Posted: 11/8/04 at 12:19pmedward scissorhands and both the burton batmans came after beetle juice as did the aforementioned ed wood (which i didn't much care for other than seeing martin landau shouting maniacally, "pull de string!") and big fish (which while not a great film was one that i enjoyed). as bad as the apeman hop movie was, though it did feature helena bonham carter, the homewrecking wh*re and all aroound too hot to be believed damsel, as the purdiest monkey girl i ever did see.

Posted: 11/8/04 at 1:30pmI liked 'Sleepy Hollow' but I'm all about Hammer horror movies so I knew what he was going for with a lot of it.

Posted: 11/8/04 at 1:32pmI thought this was going to be a dark adaptation? Why so much colour?

Sleepy Hollow was actually much more enjoyable watching it a second time recently. I adore Burton's films--even his bad ones make me happy. Mars Attacks is another!
I LOVE the poster.

"I thought this was going to be a dark adaptation? Why so much colour?"
Do you think that Burton's way of making a dark film is to remove color? Geez, I had friends in middle school who understood the mental physce better. What you have hear touted as a dark movie, would perhaps be better described as creepy, off-putting, and so forth. You're reading dark a bit to literal.

Posted: 11/8/04 at 2:08pmHe looks like a 1920's prohibition girl with that haircut and dress.... i mean jacket. Maybe he does a Charleston dance before he drowns them in the chocolate river?
