I wouldn't hold out to much fear of that, apparently the scriptwriter for Burtons version had never even seen the 1971 version before writing the script. After finishing the screenplay, he finally watched the 1971 version, only to be surprised at how much darker it was than the one he wrote.

Cheers for that - nice little tidbit there!

Heh.... can't imagine a Burton film that's not particularly dark in some way (apart from possibly 'Pee-Wee's Big Adventure')?

But can we really believe this man hasn't seen the original version.. i think everyone's seen it! :rolleyes: It's hard to avoid it each Christmas..!

I suppose it different when you don't see the film when it came out, in 1971 but to me the film is very scary, not dark scary just trippy, Gene Wilder looked on edge, like he could give you some chocolate or throw you in a dicer especially in the scene at the end of moive in his office *remembers wierd scultpures and walls*

he was also very brash which I gues is hinted in the poster

the oompa loompa don't look freaky enough either, is there no enough ORANGE green haired dwarves around these days?

the "guy" in the blue is actually violet beauregard, hence the bubble gum. i wouldn't be too worried about the pics, all they are is advance teaser deelies shot against a white background, no-one knows how all the characters will look on screen
