Willy Wonka is one of my all time favorite movies.. when my son was little... I really wanted to dress him up like a umpa lumpa.. no one would let me tho. LOL

My understanding is that Tim Burton has been tentatively chosen as the director, altho it will not be finalized until the author's estate has given final approbal..

Not only do I really have strong hesitation about them messing with Wonka in the first place... but I really don't think that Burton is the one to do it... Not to say he isn't good... but he is ever UNIQUE and not at all what I think about Wonka.
