You know how they can go on once something is succesfull. (read $$$ £££ €€€) And with marketing strategies these days ppl are convinced something is wonderfull before it even exists. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

i think johnny depp will be a great wonka, he is a very good actor.

@ seth- hollywood has run out of original ideas, they have been reduced to remakes and sequels of previously successful films....

@ lews- johnny depp is this guy: johnny edward scissorhands johnny in that one movie

I know. Just that they don't have fantasy and/or creative ideas doesn't mean I have to like it.

Not really really true - The problem is that the big studios only care about money, they want blockbusters and they're never very open to new or original ideas. They have formulas for each type of blockbuster, and they prefer to stick to those. Even if an original script makes it, odds are high the final product will be just another dull movie as a result of all the cuts that have been made, often even in post production, by the studios. Original scripts are simply rare because they're a risk that studios aren't eager to take.

On a sidenote, it's become the same in the game industry as well, hasn't it?

Anyone seen LXG and Identity, LXG is great.

but Identity ... DAMN AWSOME!
