Yeah - in fact, I think I read somewhere that the screenwriter had never seen the Gene Wilder movie, and that is why Burton chose him to write the script. That can be taken either way, but it would strike me as odd for a fan of Dahl's work to have not seen the original. On the other hand, if the reason he had never seen the original is because he isn't a Dahl fan,that can't be that good. Tim Burton generally makes entertaining films, I just wish producers would hire him to do more than just remakes and rehashes all the time.
