oh i know that. but if done right, the writing could add a new twist to it. it wouldn't surprise me if they did flashbacks in it as well. he did in "Charlie & The Choloclate Factory" well by that i mean "Tim Burton" i of course would LOVE to see "Christopher Lee" in it. i dunno who he would play though.
but than to be honest, i'd love to see that man in any film.
even if his character wasn't really needed in the "Willy Wonka" remake i still loved him in it.
. see to me if they do a rehash if done right, they should change it a bit. but in a good way. & don't let the film be no 90 minutes either. that's just far too short if ya ask me. but "Anne Hathway" would be a good A"Vicki Winters" this is the type of film that it breaks my heart that the greats are now passed on such as
"John Carradine' could have played the caretaker. Vincent Price" i dunno & fit Peter Cushing in that as well. man that's a dream cast. in the right roles of course. i also think that if John Carradine was still alive. his career would have gotten better than it was in his last years of his life. had Charles Band used him more often than he did. which is just once.
i'm sorry i'm just day dreaming thinking about films if it was still the 70's that cast would prolly happen.
