Depp 'offered Willy Wonka role': 'Depp has been offered the part by director Tim Burton, US film magazine Variety said.'
I saw Pirates of the Caribbean at the weekend - I haven't enjoyed a film so much in ages. It was fantastic! And it's had so many poor reviews...why? OK, it's not Dogme 95, but that's the whole point. It's fast and funny and cheeky and over-the-top, and Johnny Depp steals the show. And what could be more perfect for a Willy Wonka remake than a Burton / Depp collaboration? Edward Scissorhands? Ed Wood? Sleepy Hollow? Loving their work...
