Legend
Well rather than a retread this is a prequel, so I think that meets your criteria?Don't get me wrong- I'm not against reboots (there's lot of examples, but I think most people would say the rebooted Battlestar Galactica was better than the original), and I'm not against new material that re-purposes older material (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead was an amazing play before being repackaged with an ampersand into a movie).
But I am somewhat concerned that with the consolidation and commercialization in Hollywood and overall, worldwide, we are seeing that it is getting harder and harder to get original material greenlit ... while re-treads are constantly popping up.
To borrow the quote- Let the past die. Kill it if you have to.
It's really cool when someone does something new with something old. But it's sublime when someone does ... something new.
I'm just not feeling Timothée Chalamet as Wonka. He doesn't have that dark undertone that Gene Wilder brought to the original film, which is somewhat in keeping with Roald Dahl's esthetic, nor the quirky gothiness of Depp. (To me that one was just OK, whereas the original hit just right. Then again I saw the original in a theatre, when it was first released.)
