I wonder if Elfman will follow the style he utilized in The Nightmare Before Christmas, or Edward Scissorhands since that would probably suit this film more than his other approach. As much as I like most of his work, his scores of the past ten years or so have a general sameness to it. Namely, all those electronics/percussive elements he performs himself alongside the orchestra. It makes all of his main themes interchangeable to a degree. I miss the days when Elfman was really fresh and was always paying a clever homage to Herrmann.

It's actually not so much a remake as it is a literal telling of the first book Charlie and the chocolate factory. This wont have big song and dance numbers.
Roald Dahl was still alive when the "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" was shot, and wrote the screenplay. The name of the book was "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," but for some reason the movie title was changed.

A little trivia: the original was backed and endorsed by the Quaker Oats company (Look at the original title info on the poster and DVD) Is says "Quaker Oats presents" - The movie was mainlt to endorse a chocolate bar which never took off but the movie did and is now a classic over 30 years later

Are you sure that someone didn't make a mistake, and this is actually the poster for a remake of Cabaret?

Hey, does anyone know who will be playing the Oompas? Perhaps Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Billy Boyd, and Dominic Monaghan?
