From Cinelinx:
Remakes have been a big part of the film industry ever since the silent era. As part of our ongoing series, Cinelinx looks at the remake of a beloved classic kid’s film to see how it compares to the original. This week, we look at Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) on its tenth anniversary.
Willy Wonka is a popular character that has mesmerised or even scared many with its eccentricity. But what makes them all different? Read on to know more about it.
Taika Waititi is going to direct, write and produce two series based in the world of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for streaming giant, Netflix.
Tim Burton’s style is unmistakable. As one of the visionary directors of his time who loves his macabre and morose, his signature interpretations are easily recognised by fans and non-fans alike. His artistic choices affect anything from the costume to the sets, but what he is all about, is the mood. Creating that intrinsic Burton “feel” is a matter not only achieved visually, but through the score and palette he decides as well. Now Fans can quell that nostalgia by taking a look at our list of Burton’s work, ranked from darkest to lightest.
Could NOT stand this movie. The first one handles everything so well, but nothing really clicked in this film. Depp was entirely unlikeable in the film, as were many of the other characters. There was no charm or wit to it.
