Hollywood finds new taste for Dahl's chocolate factory

Though it has attained cult status, the film version of the classic children's book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was never a favourite with its author, Roald Dahl.

Unabashed, Hollywood is having another stab at turning the bitter-sweet story of a tour around Willy Wonka's fabulously sinister kingdom into a movie. The director Tim Burton, whose dark masterpieces include Batman, Edward Scissorhands and Beetlejuice, is expected to meet representatives of the Dahl estate in the next few weeks to confirm the deal.

Roald Dahl is one of my favorite authors. Dahl has a dark side that really has not been captured on film. Here's hoping that Tim Burton can bring the real Roald Dahl to the screen.
