Well, shit. I've been a Roald Dahl fan since year one. Roald Dahl is my boy. I guess I've got to check that out. My fave is Rushmore for what it's worth. Goddamn, filmmakers doing Roald Dahl in a serious way, that is something to look out for.
Not to say that the original Willy Wonka wasn't a serious film. It's just that no one has seemed to explore his deep loathing for humanity in a truly respectful way.
