The original movie is a great movie, no doubt. I don't think releasing a different interpretation is going to kill the charm of the original, though. Those that feel that way, probably aren't going to see the new one, anyway....I wouldn't if I thought it would ruin the version with Gene Wilder. But, from what I've heard, the newer one is supposed to be closer to the book, but, maybe I heard that wrong. It's definitely going to have a dark, weird edge to it, though, because that's what Tim Burton is known for. There's no way I'm comparing it to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, though. I'm going into it on July 17th with a clean slate. Should be an interesting journey.
