Filmmaker Tim Burton may direct a new version of Roald Dahl's 1964 classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Although a film version starring Gene Wilder was released in 1971, Dahl didn't like the movie. No release date for the new film has been set. Neither is it clear who will play Willy Wonka, although rocker Marilyn Manson has reportedly expressed interest in the role.
