Brad Wills Oscar® Winner	From today's NY POST: HELL ROCKER MANSON: I'LL PLAY WONKA AS 'SATAN' Wednesday,January 31,2001 By BILL HOFFMANN -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marilyn Manson is about to turn your favorite fairy tale into your worst nightmare. The Satanic shock rocker is set to star in a remake of the classic children's movie "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory." Manson says he definitely won't play Wonka as a sweet and gentle candy czar, the way Gene Wilder did in the 1971 original. "I really see the movie as a metaphor. I see Willy Wonka as Satan because he presents people with the temptation of picking good and evil, and they all pick evil," Manson told London's Sun newspaper. "Willy Wonka is one of my favorite movies, and I think I can play that role like no one else." The movie is based on the beloved Roald Dahl story "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," about five kids who win a chocolate-factory tour and are booted out one by one for breaking the rules. The factory, run by mysterious dwarfs called the Oompa Loompas, contains a river of chocolate, trees that grow sweets and giant chickens that lay candy eggs." The new version from Warner Brothers will be directed by Tim Burton, responsible for such spooky movies as "Sleepy Hollow," "Batman" and "Edward Scissorhands." The choice of Manson is sure to drive many parents crazy - the pale-white rocker is notorious for his twisted stage act which uses chain saws, fake blood and fire. In real-life, Manson owns the ancient skeleton of a 7-year-old Chinese boy and reportedly keeps a torture rack in his dressing room. His X-rated songs include: "Cake and Sodomy," "Antichrist Superstar," "Wormboy," and "Dried Up, Tied and Dead to the World." And the cover of his latest smash record "Holy Wood" has been banned by some retail chains because it features Manson in a crucifix pose, with his lower jaw missing. But the controversial entertainer says those who condemn his act should give him a chance as Wonka. "The film will still have a beautiful message - our hero Charlie does a good, honest deed," Manson insists. YYYYYYYYYUCK! Let's hope this NEVER happens!!!!!!!!!! And even if Burton does direct, Johnny Depp would be a better choice, IMO.

Crono/Kyp Oscar® Winner	Yo, that's copyrighted. You might get sued. Just a friendly reminder from your legal guy here at MM.com I'll shutup now and go back to my dry reading about 2-D field with film. --Kyp Writer & Film/Video Editor [Message edited by Crono/Kyp on 01-31-2001]

Nicolai P. Zwar Oscar® Winner	Is this for real? Okay, if Tim Burton would helm this, it might be an interesting and daring movie... but somehow I doubt this will go beyond the planning stage... I don't know, just a hunch.

Wedge Oscar® Winner	Roald Dahl wrote some pretty morbid stuff. And fairy tales are seldom as superficially harmless as they seem. "The Cat in the Hat" for example, can be viewed as an agent of chaos and anarchy ... the sort of which appeals to small children.

S Smith unregistered	What a freak/idiot. Glad there's no truth to it. Although he got me thinking, and I think that Willy Wonka is more like God and Slugworth is more like Satan. I mean, the kids already had their problems before they went to the factory - that wasn't any of WW's doing. Slugworth was doing the REAL tempting, while WW was simply meting out punishment relative to their vices (or "sins" if you want to call it that).

Mark Olivarez Oscar® Winner	Apparently there must be some truth to it because CNN ran a news flash on it last nite in their Hollywood Minute section.
