CHARLIE and the Chocolate Factory is NOT a remake!!! It is not going to be a musical and the thing is much more based on the book then the Gene Wilder classic. With that cleared up CATCF is what I am most looking forward to, all hail to Tim Burton!

I heard JP4 is supposed to be about genetically altering raptors to be as smart as humans... science wise...I'm cautiously pessimistic.

Sam Neil went into an interview saying that all rumors that have been speculated about the movie's plot (including the story about raptors being as smart as humans with guns on their heads beign used by the military yada yada yada) are untrue. Steven Spielberg, who may be directing this time, only said this... the movie will not be set in the jungle...

They're making a Flash movie? First I've heard of it.

There are a few more superhero flicks coming out including

Ghost Rider
Silver Surfer
Spawn (although it is still in development)

After the success of Spider-Man 2, studios are beginning to see that a comic book movie with a good plot, great special effects, and attention to detail, can make for lots of $$$

All I care about is seeing Venom and or Carnage in the next Spider-Man movie. I would die... Best freaking villians in comic book history!!!!!

I'm looking forward to this also, but nothing (not even the amazing Mr. Depp) can beat Wilder's Wonka. Maybe it's just because I'm partial to musicals, but that movie will always be one of my favorites.
Others that I'm looking forward to: Corpse Bride and The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe

I love Tim Burton, I think jonny Depp is a decent actor, and I understand that this is technically not a "remake." I usually don't get all pissy over reworkings of films but the "Charile and the Chocolate Factory" slightly worries me. Burton's track record of remakes are kinda crappy. "Sleepy Hollow" and "Planet of the Apes" were...un-good. The original "Willy Wonka" is just scrumdidilyuptiously spectacular and I am affraid that Tim will screw it up. Kids will grow up on Burton's version and not the original masterpiece. And even though it isn't considered a remake, it is one. Okay, it's gonna be a little darker and have a different title. Well, it's still an adaptation of the same work.

Burton's films definetely have a look to them that I could see the Rold Dahl novel paralleling. He is my favorite director in hollywood (tied with QT) but I think he should continue to produce/write/direct films as spectacular as "Nightmare" "Edward Sissorhands" "Big Fish" and "frankenweenie." He should stay away with messing with art that stands great on it's own.

Yes, I am prejuding. I will see this film, but I just can't understand how it can even compare to the orginial. Here's hoping it's great.
