First pic of Depp as Willy Wonka...

Basq

Slightly more sinister looking Wonka this time round...

What does everyone think?

Mr E

Hard to tell much from a bad grainy b&w picture.... Looking forward to the movie, though.

yeah the pictue quality is crap, and i doubt those sunglassses are part of the costume. and if you ask me, Wilder looks more sinister than Depp!!

Is it me or does that look Photoshopped?

Whats with the huge sunglasses?!

From AintItCoolNews.com:

"..keep in mind that this is from a tabloid and while more than likely authentic, it might not be 100% accurate to what we'll see in the film. Remember the first glimpse of Frodo we got was a grainy telephoto shot from above Elijah Wood as he walked around with a styrofoam plate in his hand. Hopefully, those glasses are Depp's off-set attire... That hat is absolutely perfect, though."

I doubt the glasses are real - more likely to put off thieving little hobbit photographers.
The hat's good though and I always felt Depp would be the perfect choioce for a remake... and lo and behold they got him. I think he'll have just the right quality of bonkers about him, albeit slightly darker than Wilder.

hard to take anything from that pic other then the hat looking cool. i'll refrain from comment until we see something more concrete...

Roy Orbison in a top-hat.

Not a great pic but Depp is a great choice for Wonka

Woot - here's the poster:



.. Looking slightly sinister I think but more promising than the first pic we saw.

While it does look good, the only reservation I would have is that Depp doesn't strike me as old enough to play the part... As far as I recall, in the story Wonka had become somewhat of a recluse for years, didn't he? But that said, personality-wise I have to agree with the sentiments above about the tone that he will bring to the film. He and Burton seem to play wonderfully off of each other, as Edward Scissorhands and Ed Wood have both shown...

Am i the only one that thinks Johnny Depp looks like Michael Jackson in that poster?! The pale face, the sinister facial expression...

Not to mention Wonka's penchant for inviting kids round to his place to gorge on his sweet stuff.

I'm going to find the golden ticket!
