jhonny Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I don't want it being Burtoned/Depped whatever. Dahl is so personal to so many people... this better not be shit/ Especially the BFG which is a simply magical tale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Member Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 That was my favourite book for a couple of years when I was a kid. Still love it. I'd hate to see Hollywood fuck it up. It's Bisexual Fetish Gnomes btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahl is a huge favorite of mine so the travesty of the second chocolate factory movie hurts me. James and the Giant Peach was good. Man, 80/90s Burton > 00s Burton hands down. (edit - realizing Henry Selick actually directed that, Burton only produced it) That remake of Willy Wonka was so needless in retrospect, and a let down for me (I was hoping for a dark adaption closer to the book). Granted, my expectations were high as the original is one of my favorite films ever: subtle absurdity and horror yet also one of the most touching and sincere endings of any children's films imo. Honestly, I blame Burton and Depp both equally, the rest of the cast was actually good (Charlie, Grandpa Joe, the other kids), but the visuals and setting and overall vibe were so fucking off. Soundtrack was a letdown as well. You know what would make a good Dahl film? Something based off his memoirs Boy (source of many of his novel's themes) and/or Going Solo. He had a fascinating life overseas and in the RAF before he became a full-time writer.

He had a fascinating life overseas and in the RAF before he became a full-time writer. Yes Boy was fantastic. What I would love to see Wes Anderson direct actually would be "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More". Just the right amount of surrealism, and they would work beautifully as short vignettes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schlitze Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Wonder if it will be live action or motion capture animation like he did with Tin Tin. I think he's a safe pair of hands. It's a beloved book, i think it was the first book i read when i was about 8, it had the Quentin Blake illustrations in it, the story totally captures the imagination.
