HEAR ME OUT
Tim Burton is stubborn when casting actors, but once he has found the perfect actors he sticks with them. e.g. Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sweeney Todd in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland, Edward Scissorhands in Edward Scissorhands, Victor Van Dort in Corpse Bride, etc.
Now that Jenna Ortega is expected to play Lydia’s daughter in Beetlejuice 2 after the immense success of Wednesday, I believe Tim saw something in Jenna, something similar to what he saw in Johnny. The most apparent traits they have in common include both Jenna and Johnny being outstanding actors, as well as being sharp-featured.
Really hope Jenna will get to play more of Tim’s characters in the future!

Is it better to be a stickler for every little detail, or is faithfulness to the original a bit overrated?

Today's Public Domain Character
The Unknown from the Glasgow Willy Wonka Experience
Tumblr media
The Unknown is like an evil chocolatier who lives in the walls. While the story of Charlie & The Chocolate Factory are copyrighted still (i believe owned by Netflix currently as they bought the rights to all of Roald Dahl's works a few years back)
The Unknown is an original character that was created using AI to write the script for this event. AI creations are not able to be copyrighted. Therefore, its public domain

‘SNL 1975’ Finds Its Garrett Morris, Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase And John Belushi
By Justin Kroll, Anthony D'Alessandro January 30, 2024 10:00am
Tumblr media
Lamorne Morris playing Garrett Morris, Dylan O’Brien playing Dan Aykroyd, Cory Michael Smith playing Chevy Chase and Matt Wood playing John Belushi
EXCLUSIVE: Lamorne Morris, Dylan O’Brien, Cory Michael Smith and Matt Wood have joined the cast of Sony Pictures’ SNL 1975 that will be directed by Jason Reitman and based on the real-life behind the scenes accounts of the opening night of Saturday Night Live. Morris will play Garrett Morris, O’Brien will play Dan Aykroyd, Smith will play Chevy Chase, and Wood will play Belushi. The original screenplay is written by Reitman and Gil Kenan.
On October 11, 1975, a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers changed television forever. SNL 1975 is the true story of what happened behind the scenes that night in the moments leading up to the first broadcast of NBC’s SNL. It depicts the chaos and magic of a revolution that almost wasn’t, counting down the minutes in real time to the infamous words, “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”
The screenplay is based on an extensive series of interviews conducted by Reitman and Kenan with all the living cast members, writers and crew. Reitman, Kenan, Jason Blumenfeld, Erica Mills and Peter Rice are producing.
Morris can currently be seen in FX’s fifth season of Noah Hawley’s hit drama series Fargo as North Dakota Deputy Witt Farr. He joined the cast of Netflix’s Unstable for season two opposite Rob Lowe. Prior to this, he starred as the titular lead in the hybrid live-action/animated Hulu series Woke, inspired by the life and art of cartoonist Keith Knight.
O’Brien was most recently starring in Ponyboi, which premiered as one of ten films in the U.S. Dramatic Competition at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. Up next, he will be seen in the feature films Caddo Lake, from the writing-directing team of Logan George and Celine Held and producer M. Night Shyamalan, and Anniversary, a thriller co-starring Diane Lane, Kyle Chandler, Zoey Deutch and Phoebe Dynevor. His other credits include Searchlight feature Not Okay from writer-director Quinn Shephard, the critically-acclaimed crime drama The Outfit, opposite Mark Rylance, Zoey Deutch, and Johnny Flynn; Paramount’s Love and Monsters and the popular Maze Runner franchise
Best known for his role on as the Riddler on the popular Fox series Gotham, Smith can currently be seen as Julianne Moore’s son in Todd Haynes’ May December. He most recently starred as Varian Fry in Anna Winger’s limited series Transatlantic opposite Gillian Jacobs and Corey Stoll for Netflix. Smith has also worked with Todd Haynes in both Carol (as private investigator Tommy Tucker) and Wonderstruck.
Wood has appeared in the original Broadway cast of Spongebob Squarepants and as husky kid icon Augustus Gloop in the Broadway First National Tour of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Television credits include Law and Order: SVU, Instinct and Difficult People.
Morris is represented by CAA, Entertainment 360, The Lede Company, and Myman Greenspan Fox Rosenberg Mobasser Younger & Light. O’Brien is repped by William Morris Endeavor Entertainment, Principal Entertainment LA, and Lichter, Grossman, Nichols, Feldman, Rogal, Shikora & Clark. Smith is repped by Circle of Confusion. Wood is repped by BRS/Gage Talent Agency.

I’ve been thinking a lot about CATCF today. 18 years has passed since it was released. I was four years old when my mom rented a copy of it for me and my sisters. It was an instant moment of connection and love at first watch. Now, I’m graduating college next month and I still can’t believe just how much I love this film. I was obsessed in middle school probably to a fault. On its 10th anniversary, I watched the film ten times 🥵 it was an all consuming obsession and one that did cost me time and friends.
I put my love away for the film as I went into high school. I gained other interests and got into other movie series. I graduated high school and went to college. COVID hits. In all the chaos and confusion, I felt a pull to watch what used to be my favorite movie. I was very scared to go back. What if I didn’t like it? What if I only liked the movie because I had such a crush on Wonka? I pushed play on Netflix and just from the first forty seconds… I was home. The factory is a second home to me. A place of creativity, freedom and expression. I’m no longer afraid to tell people this is my favorite movie. At school, people have been asking me all week what my thoughts on the Wonka prequel are (that’s for another post). My friends watch the movie with me every year on my birthday. We have a “Wonka Wall” in our apartment where there is a picture of everybody who has visited our place and put on the Wonka glasses that I own. It’s glorious and liberating to be free in your interests. True friends will never judge your passions, only fuel it.
So I sit here in bed and ponder on a full 18 years of this movie in existence. It’s reputation is still split. A love it or hate it kinda flick. But the love for it grows every day. Seldom is a movie of this size and success considered a cult classic, but sometimes I feel like CATCF is reaching there. As cinema gets less and less creative, I think people are realizing we took this movie for granted. The production design, costumes, practical effects, the music, the atmosphere… it’s just so uniquely Burton that I can’t help but smile like a lunatic when I watch this movie. It’s just so great. I know this film isn’t a masterpiece by any means, but it’s just the movie I needed when I was 4 and whenever I was down and lonely in my life.
Depp’s Wonka is an acting masterclass and it was heartbreaking to 9 year old me when I discovered he wasn’t real, but played by an actor. He seemed so vividly alive to me as child. He existed out there somewhere to 4 year old me. If I searched hard enough to find him… but he was just truly inside my soul. I also grew up with an overbearing and abusive father. I envied the fact that Wonka could just run away and become whatever he wanted. I wanted to escape to the factory the way Wonka did. The man isn’t real, but the lessons I’ve learned have been. Never let the past dictate the present. Never let the limitations of the world limit your creativity. Never let other people’s judgment get you down. Also ✨dress stylishly✨
Anyways this has gone on too long lol and I’ll probably regret this post in the morning. But I’m just full of love right now for this film and I’m so grateful every day that my mom went to Blockbuster and chose this film to take home.
Happy birthday Charlie and the Chocolate Factory🍫

Hello. Just wondering what you think of the current "Roald Dahl re-write" controversy.
Hahaha I have a lot of feelings. Some of them you probably won't like? IDK.
First of all, lemme just say, Roald D was an anti-Semitic asshole, a notoriously difficult and bad man, his books are mean-spirited and rankle me, I really don't give a fig about him or his books or his legacy, and I'd never give them to a child.
(I wouldn't stop a child from reading one if they wanted to, either! I wouldn't BAN them! It's fine with me that they EXIST and are readily available for anyone who wants to read them! I just personally would not spend my money to present a child with a copy of one of his books, I think there are better things to read that I'd rather gift.)
So if you were under a rock and you didn't hear this latest "outrage", evidently the Roald Dahl estate + the UK publisher decided to do an update to a bunch of his books removing some of the particularly egregious language around things like minorities, fat people, etc. Some of the coverage of this makes it sound like they removed vast swathes of text, essentially rewriting the books. Which would obviously be insane if true. But it's not true. The changes are, as the estate put it, "small and carefully considered." There might be hundreds in total, but if they are tweaks to words across dozens of books - that's really not very many?
Anyway lots of authors are decrying it as CENSORSHIP!!!!! In my opinion... that is a little dramatic. First of all - censorship would be if they redacted the language without the permission of the rights holder. That is not the case. The rights holder is very much on board here - presumably because they know that the language is old-fashioned at best and OFFENSIVE at worst, and they just signed a many-million dollar contract with Netflix! And I'm sure they would like people to NOT boycott those Netflix projects and continue to buy the books!
It would also be censorship if somebody rounded up all old copies and destroyed them, preventing people from ever experiencing the text as originally published. But that's not happening. There are literally MILLIONS of copies of these books in print. They are SO available we could all build houses out of them. Nobody is taking anything away here.
Additionally -- this happens ALL THE TIME. All! The! Time!!!! Mind you -- MOST books just go out of print and are forgotten. But books that are lucky enough to stay in print for decades are often updated / tweaked to reflect changing cultural mores, etc.
For examples: In the 1930's, Nancy Drew was 16 years old and carried a gun. In the 1950's, they realized that was not going over well anymore, so they changed all her stories to make her 18 with no gun.
In the 1970's, Margaret of ARE YOU THERE GOD fame wore a "sanitary belt" for her period. I read these books in the early 80's and was like "wtf???" -- well, in the late 80s, they changed it to pads.
Oh, and also, in early editions of CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, the Oompa-Loompas were Black pygmies from a tribe in Africa! They changed them to orange fantasy creatures later, because guess what, people were weirded out about it.
While it's true that Roald D himself made/approved that change (presumably because somebody back in the day told him, "yo, you are going to get a LOT of money from Hollywood if you make this change" and he realized it was true) -- he's dead. If he were alive, he'd probably have the same convo, and people would say "yo, Netflix is giving you millions of dollars, apologize for the hatred you spewed and change some words or your deal is toast." -- And he'd have done it, just like he did the first time. Since he's dead, his heirs made that decision. Which they are fully allowed to do.
Most of the time, literary executors of author's estates are trying to do the most lucrative things for that estate; they have a fiduciary responsibility to do so. That being said - if you feel strongly that after your death your books must be frozen in amber and never changed a bit, never sold to Hollywood / adapted for stage or TV or film, never sold into foreign countries where words change in translation all the time -- then let your heirs / executors know that explicitly, they DO NOT have permission to agree to any of this. And the books will likely just go out of print, and sink into oblivion.
ETA: Are these changes really being done because of concern for children's "delicate" brains, or "cancel culture gone mad"? ... OR, is it a somewhat cynical cash-grab to ensure that a multi-million dollar Netflix deal doesn't go down the tubes? Probably the latter!
But also, that isn't censorship. Creators and their estates are allowed to grab cash if it is offered, and can change or not change things as they will. They are the rights holders.
--
ETA ETA: I also should have mentioned a similar case from a couple years back: In 2021, the Seuss estate elected to *stop* publishing certain titles that contained racial and ethnic stereotypes. (And also - those particular books were among his least popular and they were not losing anything by making that decision, they make a billion dollars off his other books, and actually that news made his books SKYROCKET in sales, but whatever). It would not surprise me AT ALL if this hand-wringing news actually causes a big spike in Dahl sales.

A list of shows, movies and books I’m gonna make my future kids consume:
Books:
- The asoue books
- They’re gonna have to read some Astrid Lindgren books or I’ll read it to them
- Some Peter No-Tail books
- Some Roald Dahl books, most of all Catcf and Matilda
- Moomins
- I think Heartstopper when they’re a little older 🥰
Movies:
- Basically all Astrid Lindgren film adaptations (they’re really gonna watch them without my influence too because they air on tv all the time as well)
- Charlie and the chocolate factory (although I’m not gonna show it to them when they are FOUR like the first time I watched it)
- Either Matilda adaptation (the musical movie is swedish dubbed so it might work better as the first option - but I think the 96 film can be a good ”first film they watch with subtitles”)
- Any Disney film and Disney sequel of their choice. They’re gonna be lucky and have all of them available compared to me who only had specific movies on vhs and dvd that I had to settle with
- Several of the Barbie movies
- When they are old enough I’m gonna show them IT (2017), but I’m unsure of the sequel
- My little pony movies from all generations just like I did (I grew up with the 80s films and the G3 films came out when I was a kid)
- Sunes Sommar. It’s essential to watch this movie if you’re a swede.
- Fucking Åmål
- Random land before time movies
Shows:
- Phineas and Ferb
- Eva & Adam
- Several of the swedish christmas tv calendars
- The DCLA shows (duh)
- Sandybell
- Silver Fang (but I might have to sit with them for this. And for Sandybell too)
- The asoue Netflix show
- The moomins anime
- Lazytown
- My little pony tales
- My little pony friendship is magic
- Barbie life in the dreamhouse
- I might let them watch glee but considering it’s already aged poorly it’s gonna age even more poorly by the time I have kids old enough to watch it
- Sailor Moon the 90s series
- When they are very little, I’m gonna show them a lot of in the night garden and teletubbies
List will update

Two Scooby Doo headcanons.
The gang during lockdown.
This is under the assumption that they sheltered in place together.
Fred went a little bit stir crazy without a proper mystery to solve. He made it three months before he started solving the mystery of who’d been rummaging through the bins. Now he leaves food out of Mr Ringtail the Raccoon.
Daphne started an internet shipping business. Food, clothes, medication. That sort of stuff. Mostly for OAP’s. But it was open to anyone who wanted to sign up.
Shaggy ate. And ate. And ate. He single handedly keeps every shop in business with his gratuitous appetite all throughout the lockdowns. And then some.
Velma got caught up on her reading. She read every single Holmes story. And she now has a dissertation on why the popular interpretation is a load of codswallop.
Scooby loved lockdown. He binged Netflix. He loves Is It Cake? and, much to everyone else’s confusion, Stranger Things and Wednesday. He likes the food on display. Plus he knows it’s not real. So it doesn’t bother him.
Scrappy got roped into Fred’s imaginary mystery. He now dreams of fried raccoon burgers. No thanks to the rabies shot he had to get after Mr Ringtail bit him on his neck. He also intercepts every meal Fred leaves out for the vermin.
The gang’s favourite musicals.
Fred’s favourite musical is Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812. He likes to dance to Balaga. And Dust and Ashes always makes him cry.
Daphne favourite musical is Hamilton. She has a crush on Lin Manuel miranda and Jonathan Groff. And she loves the costumes.
Shaggy’s favourite musical is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It’s about a chocolate factory. The chocolate balances out the horror.
Velma’s favourite musical is Heathers. She’s always had a crush on Jason Dean.
Scooby’s favourite musical You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown. It’s got Snoopy in it.
Scrappy’s favourite musical is 13. The “being treated like a kid” theme hit him hard. Plus Debra Messing in the movie and the music are both amazing.

Terminology clarifications
Roughly twenty years ago or so Hollywood finally caught on that there was a negative stigma attached to the term “Remake.”  The word “Reboot” was adopted to mean the redoing of a franchise from the beginning. Other terms (which already existed but were not in common use for movies) were also adopted. Lately the terms are used pretty interchangeably on social media and even on entertainment news sites so that people are getting confused and many so-called reporters just don’t care. Here are the terms and what they actually mean. Remake - The term Remake was quietly dropped by Hollywood years ago but it’s become the more honest term. This is when a single movie is redone with a new cast of actors and with newer (and hopefully better) special effects. Sometimes The time period the film is set in is also updated but that’s not a requirement, especially in a period piece like most Dracula and Sherlock Holmes movies. Example:  The Fly (1986) is actually a remake of a 1950s film of the same name.  __________________________  Reboot - A reboot is when an entire film franchise is restarted from the beginning all over again. An example of this is the 2010 version of Nightmare on Elm Street.  ________________ 
A soft-reboot - A soft reboot is when some previous content is kept in tact, while others are ignored.  Example - The Halloween franchise has had a soft-reboot where only the first movie was acknowledged and several sequels were ignored before the most recent movies. ________________________    Revival - A revival is when an older franchise / continuity is brought back and the latest film or TV show continues where the old story left off.  Sometimes revivals are also a soft-reboot.   Quantum Leap has been called a reboot but it is actually a revival.   _____________________________________   Reimagining - A reimagining is reserved for an adaptation of a previously existing source material like a novel.  Sometimes a remake, reboot, and reimagining are all the same thing and neither is actually wrong.  But this term is specifically reserved for something with a pre-existing source material so the film makers (or showrunners) can claim they are looking at the source material in a different way then the previous group that had adapted it.  Often the reality is the reimagining has become a quiet code for “Less faithful to the source material” and “More creative liberties have been taken this time.”      Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2006) was supposed to be a reimagining of the novel that had previously been adapted as Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. _________________________________  Sequel - A sequel is a second film in a franchise.  Sometimes if there are many films after the first one, like a nineth or tenth installment you’d call it “yet another sequel.” Example:  1988′s Fright Night: Part 2 is the sequel to the 1985 film Fright Night. _________________________________________  Trilogy - When there are three films in a franchise. This has become rare but it’s a good number for most film franchises. Example:   The Godfather, The Godfather Part 2, and The Godfather Part 3. ______________________  Mid-quel or Midquel - A film set in the middle of the first story of a franchise.    Example:  Beauty and The Beast: The Enchanted Christmas is a midquel. _______________________  prequel - A film set before the actual first film of a franchise. Example:  Scoob. Scoob was meant to be a prequel to the original Scooby Doo Where are you? _____________________    Spin-off - A film set in the same universe or continuity as another film series or TV show.   Example:  Angel was a spin-off of Buffy The Vampire Slayer TV series.   _______________________________ Adaptation - This is when a play, book, graphic novel, comic book, Manga, TV show, cartoon, video game, etc has been adapted into a new form (usually for the first time) such as a film or TV series. The Sandman Netflix series is an adaptation of the work of Neil Gaiman. _____________________________  What we actually need is a new term for when an older franchise is revived AFTER it had a bad reboot that has now been ignored.   Examples of this are  Ghostbusters: Afterlife The Halloween franchise ignoring the Rob Zombie version. The Chucky TV series ignoring the Child’s Play remake.  Fright Night (which will now be given a book series continuation from the original 80s movies, ignoring the 2011 remake and the 2013 remake that was passed off as a sequel to the 2011 film).
