The Who's Who in Upcoming Charlie & The Chocolate Factory Remake

[BorderEevilIII]

Hopefully, we'll hear about some of the other casting, before long.


Before schmoes starts GROANING on another Willy Wonka thread, the remake is being filmed....

I just noticed the so-so lineup of who's who.....

Along w/ Depp in the lead.....

Helena Bonham Carter - Mrs. Bucket
David Kelly - Grandpa Joe
Missi Pyle - Ms. Beauregard
Freddie Highmore - Charlie Bucket

listed in lineup but is playing?
Noah Taylor, Christopher Lee

Remaining Cast Listed So Far...
Jordan Frye - Mike Teave
Annasophia Robb - Violet Beauregard
Phillip Wiegratz - Augustus Gloop
Julia Winter - Veruca Salt


I guess Helena had no probs snatching her spot... ;) And casting of Missi Pyle, INTERESTING.......

Christopher Lee, huh? That's cool. I have faith in Burton's vision. However, if he lets me down, he will have ruined one of my all-time favorite films. Oh, well. Burton's the man. Depp's the man. Lee's the man. The project is startin' to look up.

[ANavissi500]

Julia Winter had better not screw up Veruca's character. Without a strong Veruca, the movie wouldn't be what it is.

[HedwigX]

I could see Christopher Lee playin the creepy omnipresent rival sweet factory guy (I think he was called Slugworth or summat.) Unless he's an Oompa Loompa! :D

#Oompa loompa doompa-de-dith,
join me and we will destroy the Sith# :D:D:D

[PuggyD]

Wait, Pyle as Ms. Beauregard? In the original it was Violet's dad that went along, not her mom. Do you think it'll be basically the same character, only female, or do you think they're doing something entirely different with that parent?

Kudos to you, my friend.

[XCoRyX]

can't explain it but I just DON'T have a good feeling on this...

[Nachokoolaid]

Could someone post some pics of some of these actors so we can sort of make a comparison? We all know Depp and Carter, but I don't recognize some of these names.

Noah Taylor is a great actor, I can't begin to imagine who he is going to play.

[BorderEevilIII]

We all know who Christopher Lee (LOTR) , Missi Pyle (Bringing Down The House), Noah Taylor (Tomb Raider) is right? :(

he's gotta be Slugworth, or the candy shop owner

[agentsands]

I wonder when we can see a picture of what Depp's version of Willie Wonka will look like?

[Twisted Sister]

Chirstopher Lee rules. Is he playing Slugworth?

[Thurisaz]

Christopher Lee was a great HORROR actor before he started playing in gay ass movies like LOTR, so please don't put that next to his name, it's disgusting.

Gay Ass Movie? . :confused: :mad: Unless IMDB got their information WRONG, i'd suggest drafting a email to Tim Burton on his poor "gay ass" casting choices. :rolleyes:

Thanks! Interesting choice for Slugworth. :)

[lynchfan_714]

I think Raul Duke nailed. Taylor would make a candy shop owner.
Taylor played a great young Hitler in MAX.

Lee has to be Slugworth. I think we all argee on that one.

Actually, what's "disgusting" is your attitude, and next time, before using a term such as "gay ass" on the boards, please remember those of us who may be offended by it.

And FYI, Christopher Lee is a living legend, regardless of the genre. Although he's a horror icon, he's played everything from Sherlock Holmes to Sarumon to musketeers, so please, know what you're talking about before instigating a huge backlash with your ill-formed opinions.

Kudos! I couldn't agree more.

When I think of her bitchy little song in the factory - which I LOVE - I can only picture a STRONG actress sassing it out.

I WANT TO WRAP IT ALL UP IN MY POCKET, IT'S MY BAR OF CHOCOLATE, GIVE IT TO ME!

[Jon Lyrik]

I don't recognize most of these names. But Christopher Lee is in this? AWESOME! He'd make the perfect Slugworth.

LOL LOTR IZ DA GHEY-ASS!!!!!!111111 LOLOLOLOL!!1

Please. Using second-grade remarks like "gay-ass" not only reflects on yourself, it reflects poorly on the forum.

[CuteWthoutTheeE]

i think mr walken would make the movie so much better, hes my fav actor next to Depp.

I dont know what it is, but Missi Pile is pretty hot. Noah Taylor could be Slugworth, i dont know about Freddie as Charlie though.

[agentsands]

The production recently lost a very expensive camera...it fell into a vat of chocolate. That really happened!

LOL - Burton shoulda thought twice before hiring Augustus Gloop as one of the crew.

:p
