The 1971 movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is still a classic, largely thanks to Gene Wilder’s popular Willy Wonka portrayal, as well as other lively characters brought to life on the big screen.
While that movie was profitable at the box office, it hasn’t had the longevity the original version has had.
As for whether or not we need another remake, that is a giant question mark.
A remake was already attempted back in 2005, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp.
