For real, who seriously had the thought “you know what, we need another adaptation of that one book from decades ago. We could try adapting some of that guy’s other work, but why bother? I know we tried the goofy, fun spin and the dark, gritty spin, but I’m sure we missed an angle on that one kid’s book.”
More importantly how did the guy who had that thought not get kicked out of the pitch meeting immediately?
Wait, what book is this an adaptation of? This isn't from either Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or The Great Glass Elevator as far as I'm aware.
Is there a Charlie Cinematic Universe now? lol
Can't wait for phase 3
