I think he's too young to play Willy Wonka. And he does look really creepy.

I couldn't tell that was Johnny Depp. But then again, the only show of his i've watched is probably pirates.

I believe that the "creepy" aspect of Willy Wonka was a Gene Wilder invention, I don't recall the original book having many grotesque elements as it was targeted toward a very young reading audience.

The 70's version was a classic though, I don't think remakes should be made when they cannot surpass the original.
Same advice for the planned King Kong remake and the new Pride and Prejudice movie with Keira Knightley

Jim Carey would've owned this role. Jonny Depp kinda looks like michael jackson in this movie :/

roald dahl was of the opinion that kids SHOULD be frightened, it was good for them. the witches was also targeted towards a very young reading audience and it's creepier than charlie and the chocolate factory. (although admittingly I have not seen the original movie so I cannot comment on how creepy the book is compared to the movie. you could also argue that the witches was targeted at older kids than charlie and the chocolate factory, but personally I recall my elementary school teacher reading it to my class when I was 8-9 years old. )
but every children's book I've read of roald dahl contains creepy elements. be it matilda (the headmaster of the school!!!), the witches, charlie and the chocolate factory and big friendly giant.

Hah. I always thought such elements were funny rather than scary. I really did't consider Miss Trunchbull flinging schoolkids by the hair to be very horrifying, it was just too bizarre. The Matilda movie wasn't very scary either. On the other hand there were 2 scenes in Wonka's Factory that were scary when I was a kid. One was when Wonka and the kids were passing through that dark tunnel and Wonka's face got distorted by the lights like some nightmarish dream. The other creepy thing was at the end of the movie when Charlie went to return the everlasting gum, and everything in Wonka's room was broken in half. It was surreal.

how about the witches then
his descriptions of them are definitely grotesque and his intention is being scary (although scary in a good kinda funny way, not nightmare-inducing, no. ) perhaps gene wilder made it creepier than it was originally supposed to be; but roald dahl was definitely not afraid of adding grotesque elements even though his main target audience were children. (well, with the books mentioned so far and some others. )

I think Johnny Depp is perfect for the role.. But Jim carry would have been pretty good also... Anyone remember Johnny in edward scissorhands? O_O He was pretty freaky there and did a good job
