One of his songs/video clips is a take off of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory:confused:

I claim Tim Burton authority here.

Manson was intially set to play Wonka, but due to musical obligations (remember his music?) he was unable to play the role. Johnny signed on, but put it in his contract that if Manson changed his mind, he would happily step aside and let him take over. Obviously, that never happened.

Tim Burton (one of the best directors, EVER) should not be remembered for Planet of the Apes, Mars Attacks or Big Fish, IMO. Please note his remarkable work on Sleepy Hollow, Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice, Batman 1 & 2, Ed Wood and Edward Scissorhands. Johnny Depp and Tim Burton work wonderfully together and the commercials for Willy Wonka look spectactular.

I loved everything except sleepy hollow.

mars attacks was a mess, but still a lot of fun ...

NOT A MUSICAL! WTF?!

The commercials are starting to show a bit more now as it's getting closer to the release date and I must say that everytime I see a new one it just looks weirder and weirder, and I don't mean that in a good way.

Jhonny Depp will make a brilliant Willy Wonka: the bloke's just got that auora of weirdness that is essential for the part of Willy Wonka.
And Tim Burton directing: Oh yes! Depp and Burton make a super team. Hell, you just have to look a Edward Scissor Hands for prove.
:cool:
