Very cool! The Gene Wilder version (Willie Wonka...) was a musical and not exactly faithful to the book. This one's supposed to be the original version, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" by Roald Dahl. If you haven't read it, definitely check it out. It's one of my favorite books! Tim Burton did a good version of "James & the Giant Peach" as well. I think Lemony Fans will love this one too.

I have the original of the film, and nothing will ever beat it! I used to watch it all the time!

It's a really good story!

I hate remakes of films, especially ones as good as that! (Apart from the ones that Jim is in... I guess!)

It's not a remake of a film, it's a movie based on the book. The musical changed alot of the story and the ending is different. The book is alot scarier.

I really liked the book and I think the movie was alright, true that it's not completely faithful to the book, but Gene Wilder is really funny.

I'd like to see this new one :D Thanks for the picture by the way 8)

The poster looks excellent actually!

I like to see posters, since I am a Graphic Design student, and that looks VERY good! Love the colors, and the text!

I love the bit in the original when they go into the different rooms, and the edible room, yum. The best one is the lickable wallpaper! I want some!
