This is not true.&nbsp; Apparently Manson said something about being cast as Willy Wonka (although it appears he was misquoted?) and some press took it and ran with it without checking up on it&#8230;.&nbsp; Warner Brothers has since said that such rumors are 100% untrue.&nbsp; (check out this website, where I got my info: <A href=\"http:\/\/www.upcomingmovies.com\/charlieandthechocolatefactory.html\" target=_new>http:\/\/www.upcomingmovies.com\/charlieandthechocolatefactory.html<\/A> )&nbsp; But I mean really, did you need them to tell you that?&nbsp; You know how many people would be pissed off if Marilyn Manson was cast as Willy Wonka?&nbsp; I can&#8217;t say I know even ONE person who would be happy about it.&nbsp; That just ruins the whole thing.&nbsp; Anyway, as far as a &#8220;sequel&#8221; goes, there really isn&#8217;t one&#8230; there is no continuance of the story or anything.&nbsp; If you want to see the closest thing to a sequel, check out Bit Parts at IFilm (<A href=\"http:\/\/www.ifilm.com\/\" target=_new>http:\/\/www.ifilm.com<\/A>).&nbsp; It is&#8230; interesting.&nbsp; IT&#8217;s about 2 actors cast as oompa loompas&#8230; and their experience.&nbsp; Not the most entertaining thing ever, but it is slightly funny.&nbsp; Then, I watched it over dialup&#8230; so it might be better if you&#8217;re on a better connection.&nbsp; Anyway, as far as a remake goes, the new Wonka movie will NOT be a remake of the film.&nbsp; If it were a remake of the film, it would be based on the film, but it will not be&#8230; it will be based on the book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.&nbsp; It will stick more closely to the book then the old film apparently.&nbsp; My thoughts on this?&nbsp; Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a classic movie.&nbsp; It is GREAT just as it is.&nbsp; I can not see any other actors in the parts of these characters.&nbsp; Regardless of how well made or whatever this new movie is, it will not live up to it&#8217;s predecessor, as far as I am concerned&#8230; and probably as far as most are concerned.&nbsp; It is one of the best movies of all time, without doubt.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>Anyway, just wanted to get my thoughts on that out&#8230;.&nbsp; \ud83d\ude09<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, tomorrow I go back to Florida&#8230;.&nbsp; I am both happy and sad.&nbsp; Sad only because it means I will have to go to class again&#8230; haha.
