Trailer Tuesday: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Willy Wonka
The newly released Charlie and the Chocolate Factory trailer is certainly worth watching. I really can't wait for this movie's release. This trailer shows us a bit more of the children than the teaser did.
Happily, the movie seems to retain the Willy Wonka disdain for the horrible children. I can only hope that Depp will be given lines as great as Wilder's, such as "Open your mouth a little wider when you talk."
I particularly enjoy the transformation of Mike Teevee from the gun-slinging television-obsessed child to the violent video game addict. I'm usually not a huge proponent for alterations on the silver screen, but that one not only more accurately depicts what Dahl was trying to point at, but it also is more prevalant today than ever before.
One other thing that makes me happy is that the chocolate river actually looks like chocolate when Gloop falls into it.
Nonetheless, I still think that the teaser was more fun, particularly because of the music. Possibly an altered Oompa Loompa song?
I'd like to see a Gene Wilder cameo in there somewhere, but I don't see any such credit listings yet. I did notice that Christopher Lee will have a role (and likely a small one, based on the character name).
Good times. Can't wait.
