Boring, just do The Great Glass Elevator hey everyone, remember OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL? WELP Which gives me this idea: Disney presents SLUGWORTH. Shows us how he was an antihero and misunderstood after all.

People on Twitter have been talking about Charlie & the Great Glass Elevator - the direct sequel that Roald Dahl wrote to Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, which apparently took Charlie into outer space (?!?) - as an idea for a really good idea for a movie instead of Wonka: Origins. Sadly, since Dahl DESPISED the Gene Wilder movie, he actually had it put in his will that any attempt to make a movie of that book was to be forever denied & blocked by his estate. Why'd he hate the Gene Wilder version?

Great Glass Elevator is a weird book. Twice, two separate times in my childhood, elementary school teachers and people like that were reading that book chapter by chapter to a group of us, and they reached the joke about Chinese people's names, and they were so shocked they stopped reading. Twice. The only other things I remember were the jokes about how stupid and childlike the US president and his cabinet are, which were more confusing than anything else, and the Vermicious Knids, which are the one effective part of the book in the sense that they reach the top levels of Dahl nightmare zone.

I'm almost certain the Verminous Kinds were part of the insperation the Vashta Nerada from Doctor Who.

He hated The Witches too if I’m not mistaken Aha, so the Alan Moore of his time. Wonder what he'd think of the remakes of either? (thinking of defenders of the Burton movie being all, "B-but it's more like the book now!")

Mr Cadbury: Hmmm putting Pop Rocks in a chocolate is nonsense, it’s madness, it will never work! Who came up with this? Assistant: An ambitious young man in research and development... apparently he’s been let go by Nestle, Hershey and Mars before coming here. He believes he can make a Candy that will last forever. Mr Cadbury: Everlasting!? Even if it was possible it would kill us, no one would need buy any more of this candy again! Fire this *looks at file* William Wonka fellow, he has no future in the confectionery business!

Grandpa Joe's origin story would be better One day he decided the floor was too cold and stayed in bed for 20 years, making everyone else suffer with his cabbage soup farts.

hey everyone, remember OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL? WELP Which gives me this idea: Disney presents SLUGWORTH. Shows us how he was an antihero and misunderstood after all. He takes Augustus Gloop as his apprentice and heir to the factory, leading to a showdown with Wonka and Charlie at the candy convention.

As long as that piece of trash freeloading Grandpa Joe isn’t in it, I’ll give it a chance.
The family can barely eat, but that POS Grandpa Joe gets tobacco all the time. F him!

Who's the girl and how come she didn't become the heir apparent that Charlie eventually became? Was she a bad egg? Did she steal frizzy lifting drinks?

I'm not feeling Chalamet as Wonka at all in that trailer. I don't think he has the larger-than-life presence for it.
Hugh Grant seems to have found his niche though. He was great in Paddington and he was the best bit about the trailer.

That genuinely looks horrid but Chalamet has enough fanboys and girls that it'll probably do well.
