Been waiting for the for a long time, ever since Marilyn Manson was rumored to be Wonka.

Also that URL didn't work for me, but I dropped off the 'news' portion and it went through fine.

It should open a new page from AICN and then you click the lower link for the trailer. Or was the trailer link not working? When you click the trailer link it may open another window but it should just launch QT and start to play or you can right click and save to your drive.

Funny, it works now. Oh well, the sans-'news' URL works too. The movie looks cool, even if the original will be hard to beat.

Supposedly only after Dahl had supplied the script for the original did the studio go and add all the musical interludes and make a slight few changes that upset him. Hence Dahl didn't lik ehis on property once it was translated to film. Still a great movie and Wilder will always be seen a Wonka. But this version, by Burton, is said to be incredibly faithful to the book, and very creepy. I think it's going to be excellent and it's a film right up Burton's alley.

Yeah those musical moments get me reaching for the fast-forward button, but such was the period it was made in. Burton always gives us a visual treat, and Depp's a nut as always. Should be a good flick to check out.

The song in that trailer has been haunting me for days.

My friend warned me before I watch about the song. I'll be singing it too.

True, when I saw them, I immediately thought Moon/Trenchcoat.

I was thinking large Moons are whacked out Overthetops. Then I slowed it down to get a better look. Probably not O. Cool if it was though. Oakley should be in more flicks. It pissed me off that Angelina Jolie wore Raybans in Tomb Raider and they so easily could have been OO•E Pewter/Red.

My girlfriend hates that trailer, cos she loves the original too much and this just looks to creepy. It looks right up my alley though, i'll probably end up loving this a lot more then the original :)
