There is *so much chatter circling this movie. Is it a remake of the Gene Wilder movie? Or is it another movie version of the book? I have heard the screen writer for the Depp movie hadn't seen the Wilder version until after he had written the new version, and was very surprised at how darker the Wilder version was than his. I think alot of people have only seen the Wider movie and not read the book, and so even if the Depp version is closer to the book they won't be happy with this retelling. I liked the Oscar Wilde quotes they threw in the Wilder version, even though they weren't in the book. It will be interesting to see.
I'd also like to read how people felt about the Wilder movie when it first came out, how well they thought it kept to the book. :)
