This pitch feels like they watched the youtube videos about how long a fictional character's sentence would be if they actually had to stand trial for their crimes

>Charlie Paley
Isn't the whole point of the original that Charlie Bucket gets the factory in the end because Wonka is getting old and needs a successor? So this should be Pail vs Bucket, Wonka now being an irrelevance.

What’s interesting is this has been long in development, I thought it was scrapped. It was supposed to be a tv show and didn’t have Sony attached to it, I don’t think.
Maybe after KPDH they greenlit more projects and did a big retooling of this.

Do my eyes deceive me or is he white? Netflix turned a black character white? After they already turned him black from white in the concepts? Even though he was originally meant to be black in Dahl's initial drafts? Before the agent turned him white

Part of me delights in seeing Wonka story being disgraced and strip-mined like all the other franchises because it might cause berryfuckers a modicum of distress, but then I remember they don't actually care about the story or any of the actual source material and probably don't even know what the fucking story is about. Still, out of sheer spite I hope they rape the whole fucking demonic premise until it's unrecognizable.

>Inside the factory is whimsical but the outside world it isn’t
Exactly. There is a binary separation between whimsical and mundane, and that's what made it so special. Willy Wonka was essentially an overseer of a fantasy world, and all the punishments the kids endured were very Aesop-coded. The entire story becomes a fairy tale for Charlie Bucket, and at no point does the real world encroach upon the world of the factory (in the original novel, I am purposefully excluding The Great Glass Elevator because, while it's a fun book too, the line between fantasy and reality is blurred a little more). The very concept of Willy fucking Wonka being sent to prison is beyond stupid.

>The very concept of Willy fucking Wonka being sent to prison is beyond stupid.
I’m not watching this slop but it is not necessarily. The factory is locked in to be its own world but it’s not its own entity, it is still under the jurisdiction of the outside world, so if something happened in those gates going to the outside world he would be responsible, which again permanently altering a kid in a potentially deadly scenario would fall into that. And with how cunty the families are who were invited they would realistically try any shit to get him locked up instead of learning.
It’s a grim interpretation of the themes but not exactly unrealistic to the contrasts of the bitter real world vs the attempted escapist fantasy Willy makes the factory to avoid it but can only go so far

>Willy Wonka (Waititi) has spent the years since the Golden Ticket contest behind bars (not the chocolate kind) for the crime of turning a child into a blueberry. Having served his time, Wonka returns to his factory determined to add a little sweetness to a bitter world. But one thing stands in his way: teenager Charlie Paley (Connor) and his friends. Facing eviction, this next generation of “rotten” kids plot to break into the factory, nab a priceless Wonka Bar, and save their homes. But like many before them who enter the fantastical world of the factory, these kids are in for a bit more than they can chew...
lmao this sounds awful

Imagine they instead turn this into a horror film about a bunch of teenagers, breaking into a magical chocolate factory and slowly getting killed off one by one while looking for some kind of specialty chocolate bars with a prize ticket in them before they ship out to save their home.
Maybe have some point where one kid starts sacrificing the other kids, losing their humanity in the process, because like, their orphanage will be closed if they don't succeed or something. Either comes down to the main character having to sacrifice themself to have the last kid make it out with the prize or like, they screw over their last friend and then shortly after they learn that this was all pointless and they ultimately fail or something.

>hope they depict violet again, given they specifically mention it
Zero chance, blueberry inflation is an entire subgenre within inflation now, its way too well known for it to ever be repeated with a female character again. If anything they'll deliberately poke fun at the fetishists by doing a blueberry scene except it'll be on a gross middle aged white man, or even Wonka himself.

... Is this a sequel to the Gene Wilder movie? Didn't he state the kids would become normal in that one? In the book and the Johnny Depp one they suffered some side effects in his attempt to fix it but not in the Gene Wilder one. And why make up another story? Wasn't there a prequel a while back that also just made up a new story? The book has an actual sequel, why not just adapt that?
>>
>>153256186
That's true, any sort of inflation scene will appeal to some demographic of fetishist, regardless of how you execute it. The original audience of berryfags who got their wires crossed specifically because it was Violet getting blown up will certainly be disappointed though.

It was all a scam to shift the blame for the vast amount of safety regulations on some dumb poor kid no one would ever miss.
Wonka realizes he fucked over 4 kids, one of them a wealthy heiress and then came up with the genius plan to sign over all rights to the poor kid at the end instead of giving him the lifetime supply of chocolate.
Charlie as the new Wonka was arrested and prosecuted while the real Willie has been living in the Virgin Islands for the last 40 years.

For some context he signed up as a fighter pilot and when his plane went down in the desert, he got a brain injury that would ultimately be what killed him decades later. It's probably why he felt especially strongly about the conflict.
Fun fact: after he was no longer allowed to be a pilot due to his injury, he became a honeypot spy, sleeping with American women to learn secrets about their policy on WW2. He was one of the people that James Bond was based off of (and he wrote one of the screenplays)

There is some mileage in having a lead superficially being one of the "bad children" this time, a cynic who believes he's a rebel gets invited in only for Wonka's inventions to reignite his childlike wonder and the actions of the other children to make him realise he was never really like them.
Going the Polar Express route rather than the Oliver Twist route.

Kid being turned into a blueberry does seem like the worst bodyhorror punishment for a kid that wasn't really that bad. Chewing gum a lot is not really the same level of sin as being a spoiled little rich shit.

I don’t get why they keep trying to make Wonka a franchise. It’s a very good little story but it has an absurd amount of adaptations for a book about a silly chocolate factory.
Nothing at all could be worse than the 2023 Wonka. I’ve never seen such a steaming pile of shit. Felt like a bunch of corporate executives idea of “whimsy” and “imagination” poured into the fakest and most inauthentic, insincere Hollywood movie machine of all time.

Criminal liability can't be transferred through contracts. Wonka would still be going to the chair.
That said, Charlie woukd be on the hook for the mountain of civil lawsuits. He'll be poor again soon enough.

Its the same shit as Jurassic Park, which is already past the two trilogy mark with Rebirth. The premise is incredibly contained to the point where any retelling/sequel will just retread the original setting. "Wow I wonder what will happen when they go to the Dinosaur Island/Chocolate Factory/whatever this time?!" There is no reason for stories like these to get new installments, but corporate will try to milk them for their nostalgic value anyways.

What I want to know is how they're going to deal the other children personalities.
It seems pretty clear from the premise that they're going for an angle of the "rotten kids" are actually good guys fighting against the evil Wonka and his gentrification of their neighborhood.
But then how do they deal with the children's flaws?
