What do you think if Tim Burton remade this?.

Does anyone think if Tim Burton remade this it would work? Considering his visual and nightmarishy sort of style in his films, I think it might have some sort of charm to it - plus the tone of the novel actually sort of fits with his imagination.

I thought his take on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was pretty good, though the kids were very unlikeable whereas in the first one they were brats but you still liked them.

I think it would suck.

Well i don't imagine it making it much darker and still maintain its PG rating but I think Tim Burton would make it quirkier. :))

It shouldn't be quirkier. As much as I love this movie they went a bit too far on some of the comedy. Burton would make it cheesier.

WHY ?

He'd screw it up and make it as generic as his other remakes. Charlie & The Chocolate Factory was disappointing. Alice In Wonderland was a travesty. I loved his older works but I've sadly lost faith in him.
