WintersMist   10 #1 Posted April 5, 2004 Information:  Re-make of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe - set in Newzealand, director who did Sherk directing  Re-make of Willy Wonka - Willy Wonka played by Johnny Depp  Goonies 2 - Goonies never say die! Apparantly is being made, featuring the old cast and a new cast. HOPE IT IS TRUE  Rumours of John Travolta talking about doing a new Grease with the former cast of Grease 1.  I do not know this information to be 100% true or 50%, just stuff I have read about on the net. But because I'm sad I hope to god they are true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
bellis   10 #2 Posted April 6, 2004 thought that marilyn manson was going to play willy wonka .....slight change of subject here but did anyone buy the wonka bars a year or 2 ago i never did find my golden ticket:( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Rich   12 #3 Posted April 6, 2004 I'd have thought Mr Travolta would be a bit long in the tooth nowadays for all that strutting about in tight leather trousers in another Grease.  Could be good though I suppose, Grease was a classic.... And with the original cast back it should be great if it's right that they're doing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

elf   10 #5 Posted April 29, 2004 Yep I have heard that Johnny Depp is going to be Willly Wonka too, and that Tim Burton is directing it so it should be very good. Also a kid from this area (not sure where exactly) got down to the last 2 for the auditions for Charlie - don't know what the outcome was.

They're perfectly good movies as they stand. Â I must admit, a remake of War of The Worlds is one things I would go and see.

Rich   12 #12 Posted May 2, 2004 Could be good but how close will it be to the HG Wells WOTW book?! IMO they should do a movie of the Jeff Wayne musical version.  Sorry but I just think of the possibility that once again Hollywood will bastardise a true bastion of classic British sci-fi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
