Depp: a "magical" Wonka
Wilder, who played the factory owner in the 1971 adaptation of Dahl's Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, said: "If I were going to cast the movie I would cast Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka because I think he is wonderful. Mysterious - always - and magical."
Although he would not touch the casting decisions, Wilder is cynical about the motives behind the new movie. MRIB quote him as saying: "It used to be that they were almost as concerned with making a good films as a money maker. Today the money making comes first."
Charlie And The Chocolate Factory hits UK screens on July 29.
