Depp Takes Inspiration From Manson For Wonka Role
JOHNNY DEPP's muse for his role as WILLY WONKA in forthcoming movie CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY is set to shock fans of the children's book - it's shock rocker MARILYN MANSON

The OSCAR-nominated actor is keen to give his character a darker edge and has been inspired by the self-proclaimed ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR for his performance in the TIM BURTON-directed adventure.

This is not the first time Depp has used a rock star as his inspiration - he based flamboyant pirate JACK SPARROW in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN on wildman ROLLING STONE KEITH RICHARDS.

A source says, "He has his music and pictures in his trailer to help get in character.

"He's making Willy far more sinister than before and there's a little of Marilyn in there."

It's a good one: visually gorgeous, nicely written, well-acted (Jim's at his nuttiest, and still pulls off his role as the villain rather elegantly, I thought). I have only read the first book, so far. In spite of the differences, I enjoyed the movie very much.

Funny you should mention Narnia... They're having another go at The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It's due out next winter. I'm looking forward to it, if only with curiosity.

You know, I was glad Lily didn't kill the unicorn (had a fascination with them, when I was younger), but... My first thought upon her not choosing Lord Darkness was "/Is she crazy???/"
Honestly, I think that movie, her in that dress, was what made me fall in love with Goth in the first place. Mind, I didn't hear my first Bauhaus song until years later, but that movie was the start.
