Ugh, I am so sick of people comparing Willy Wonka to Michael Jackson. How Johnny Depp, who once destroyed a hotel room, keeps from punching reporters who ask him about the comparison is beyond me. Good thing Russell Crowe wasn't Wonka, phones would be flying.I think Depp's Wonka sounds more like Edward Scissorhands with a hint of the lady from Fargo (and I've seen the film, I wonder if everyone reporting on the Wonka/MJ connection have seen the movie). Scissorhands also had pale skin and black hair, so maybe Burton was going for Scissorhands with a bob hair cut (look for a nod to Scissorhands early in the film).
And, the jacket Depp wears is similar to the original jacket Gene Wilder wears, so please don't compare it to the nutcracker-esque jackets of MJ.
Are we this desperate for entertainment news?
