Call Him Johnny Wintour!

[ultramarine]

from Gawker.com
Several eagle-eyed readers have sent us emails suggesting that Johnny Depp closely resembles a certain Condé Nast editor in the trailer for his upcoming Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

One was even kind enough to send us a link to a QuickTime of the film's trailer to see for ourselves.

But of course. Like you'd be able to hand your chocolate factory over to anybody else...

 

[softgrey]

haha...good point miss strawberry... B)

it definitley has his aesthetic...reminds me of the googly goggles johnny wore in sleepy hollow...

 

[softgrey]

sleepy hollow...

Damn that first pic scares me.

He really looks like Anna there.

 

[strawberry daiquiri]

Thing is, the goggles aren't so much an accessory for Willy, as a necessary precaution against the dangers of the television transmitting room...

 

[softgrey]

well...that's true for the 2nd pic

but what's his excuse in the first...?...

 

[Spacemiu]

[mikeijames]

Kinda creepy. I wasn't expecting something *this* strange, even for a Willy Wonka film.

 

[saturnine]

He does look like Anna! Haha!

I'm still a bit iffy about this being re-made.

I'm totally scared

What is "Willy Wonka" ?
It's an american horror movie or something along those line?

A children's movie from the 1970s (a classic, some might say...others might consider it more of a cult movie).

Same. I saw the trailer and I thought - Oh god, that's kind of creepy...and not in the good way. I already hated the oompa loompas...must I hate johnny depp's rendition of willy wonka? He scares me in this film...

 

[LUMANAcom]

Thats sooooo funny... Wow, the resemblance is so close, its scaring me!
