i just got finished reading the book - i'm about to make a post on the differences between the book and the original film. just for notes before everyone else sees the movie.
but it's an easy read - i finished it in an hour sitting at the park.
from the clips i've seen, the new film looks DECIDELY closer to the book; i recognize the dialogue exactly. but, then again, we already knew that's what burton was gonna do.
i like the new veruca salt, personally. she's much snottier and less bratty; she's more old money and less nouveau riche. the actress in the old film was kinda hagged looking - her face was gross, her hair was thin, and her red dress was seriously too small/tight for her frame.
I've been watching the "Making of..." specials on HBO all week. It was interesting how they made the chocolate look so different. It was indeed strange watching Johnny go from a clip of Wonka dialogue back to Depp dialogue. And I hear that he is trying to get Keith Richards to be in Pirates of the Caribbean 2.
