Johnny Depp over Willy Wonka


Vanaf 20 juli draait Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in de Nederlandse bioscopen, een verfilming van het gelijknamige boek van Roald Dahl. Website Comingsoon had een interview met hoofdrolspeler Johnny Depp, die te zien zal zijn als Willy Wonka.

[eng]What kind of risks did you feel that you were taking by playing this role?
"To the fans of the book and the fans of the 1971 film, it's a very well loved character, both the book and Gene Wilder's brilliant performance in the film. I knew that I would have to take it somewhere, far away from Gene Wilder and the area that he had stomped. Having that amazing material by Roald Dahl and taking that and trying to interpret what he might have liked to seen in terms of cinema. What kind of character would he have liked? There's such dark and light in that story in such a subversive kind of undertone and a twisted perverted kind of side to the character that I ran into the direction that seemed right to me."[/eng]
