Your Choice for the New Wonka?

Whos your choice for the new Willy Wonka?
I would pick Johnny Depp or Kevin Spacey.

I would make Charlie a girl, played by Jennifer Love Hewitt (She has that wholesome, sweet thing working for her).

and it would be a new twist on the original book.


I'd have Eliza Dushku play Veruca Salt.

The really snotty kid that gets shrunk and is on TV, Hmmm... I'd make it a black girl played by Jada Pinkett Smith.

The big german kid who falls in the chocolate river, ummm.... Christopher Penn

The girl that goes down the Garbage shoot under the golden egg... Sarah Michelle Gellar

And last but not least, in his first starring role....

I thought that John C. Reilly was scheduled to star in the remake a while ago, and I think he'd still make a wonderful choice for the role.

I don't know if he was scheduled, but I know I've definitely read him talking about how much he wanted to do it. That gets my definite

She was. Maybe he has Veruca confused with the gum-chewing blueberry girl.

Re-write the part as a duo and have Kelly and Justin do it.
