Sucks.... I loved that guy....

Oompaloompas ordered not to leave town.

Seriously though, that sucks. Glad he had a good long life and career though.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I was really hoping he'd do another movie at some point. It's amazing that he was 83. He looked so young for so long.

A great guy has passed away...loved his work..hope he's with Gilda now

Oh man. This truly sucks. What a loss. I considered him maybe the greatest comic straight man in the business. Just look at how he played off Zero Mostel in The Producers or as The Waco Kid in Blazing Saddles. But let's remember him at his best....

That sucks. RIP Mr. Wilder.

Wilder and Robin Williams..... those two men are responsible for so many great childhood memories. I don't believe they will ever be replaced.

The original larger-than-life Willy Wonka. May he RIP.

Alas, Gene has gone home to Gilda. Rest in peace Willy Wonka.


P.s. I never cared for Depp's portrayal of Wonka. It was what I would imagine Michael Jackson with a group of kids at Neverland ranch would look like
Creepy

Agreed. That movie should never, never, never have been remade. Total joke. It was an abomination.
