Okay, looking at some hoax vids, I came across this.
<!-- m -->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jHXURkz ... re=related<!-- m -->
Now, I'm not totally sure as to what message this person is trying to get at. The person has more vids on the subject and maybe I will watch them while I get more time. Anyway, this vid on the other did get me thinking on some things. I don' t really think that this has anything to do with the hoax persay, but I'm just putting out there if anyone might want to research it futher. Remember the version of the Willy Wonka movie with Johnny Depp? Well, while this movie has recieved a lot of praise, many people complain that this Willy Wonka was not the same as the original. (Of course they are not going to be same)They said that Johhny Depp's version was too twisted. In my opinion, I think the original one was pretty twisted as well, but that is beside the point. Well, most people know that when Johnny takes on a role, he looks to some inspirations of people he admires for the roles. Like when he played Jack Sparrow, he took on the personality of Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones. Many people felt that he took on the personality of Michael Jackson to play Willy Wonka. And Johnny said that Michael was not the inspriation (<!-- m -->http://www.accessmylibrary.com/article- ... s-his.html<!-- m -->) he was never really clear to WHO was his inspiration for that part. Now, IDK about you guys, but when I first saw that movie years ago, I felt that he was acting like Michael Jackson. Anyway, as I dig a little deeper and I found some intresting things. First, as we all know, Michael and Marlon Brando were really good friends. But Marlon had many famous friends. Guess who was one of them? That's right, Johnny Depp. Johnny and Marlon met YEARS ago through another mutal friend and became really close, due to the fact that like Marlon, Johnny wanted to act, but did not want to be famous. Now, does that mean that Michael and Johnny were friends? Well, I won't make any assupmtions about that, but it is my gut feeling that two have met. How can they not meet when they were really, really, good friends with the same person? Also, an article with Brent Ratner (another of one of Michael's friends) he mention that "He says they must've watched the original version of "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" 50 times over the years." (<!-- m -->http://brettratnernewsblog.blogspot.com/<!-- m -->) So, we know that Michael LOVED that movie, and more than likely, it not too out there to assume that Michael also loved Johnny's version. And last but not least, for awhile, BEFORE Michael "died" there were rumors swirling aroung that Johnny Depp wanted to play Michael in a bio pic about him. (<!-- m -->http://www.theinsider.com/news/594284_J ... el_Jackson<!-- m -->)
Well, these rumors died down a bit, until Michael "died." Johnny Depp did address these rumors, and denying that he would or even wanted to play Michael Jackson in any film. (<!-- m -->http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php ... ckson_in_m<!-- m -->)
Now, after all of that, am I saying that Johnny Depp has some part in the hoax? Well, I really have NO CLUE what so ever. However, there are a lot of odd connections between to the two, so I thought I just put it out there. But it is in my gut feeling that two have met. So, what do you think?

He then bought the original scissorhands requisite.

And here's an interview with Caroline Thmpson, who wrote the story for Edward Scissorhands and was supposed to write a story for film FOR Michael, where he was going to play, but she didn't speak very nice of him.

Just wanted to add that - so there's a history with Tim Burton/Johnny Depp before Willy Wonka.
and I love his version of willy wonka <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
I don't mean that disrespectfully.
Johnny's version of Willy Wonka reminds me of Michael too. Unless you meant that Johnny's version DID NOT remind you of Michael.
There was an interview with Johnny shortly after Michael's 'death'. He was very complimentary towards him - I got the feeling that he admires him. He also described it as a 'horror' that the family had lost a father, a brother and a son.
No I mean he does remind me of Michael <!-- s:oops: -->:oops:<!-- s:oops: -->
I'm a big fan too, and I knew they both were very close to Marlon. I never made the connection though <!-- s
maybe they met..
yeah, me too. i even thought, why didn't they let mike play thay role? (especially after seeong him in that ebony mag.) <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
Wouldn't Mike look hot as Scissorhandsss?
woohoo!
Oh, of course there's a history of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp....They're very close friend and that's one of the reason why Johnny's is acting in almost every Movie of Tim Burton ( Sleepy Hollow, Sweeney Todd, Edward, and now Alice in Wonderland)....and because he likes the way, Johnny is playing hs roles....he's one of the best IMO....sorry that was off topic, but I had to say that...and I love the Willy Wonka Movie <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
Yes! Peter Pan, Neverland and Michael
