Apparently, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, a remake of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is being released this summer. This deeply saddens me.
Yes, it's true that the old movie was released in 1971, but what really needs to be updated? Candy is timeless! I think that the movie is pretty good despite being made 34 years ago. Actually, the updating part isn't what really bothers me.
I'm afraid that kids who see the movie this summer will think that Charlie is based on an old movie, not on a lovely book written by Roald Dahl.
Then again, this is coming from someone who'll take reading a book over watching TV any day.
