    The boys and gals of MTV have been busy as hell, interviewing stars left, right and center about their upcoming films:

    Johnny Depp was asked about how "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is progressing? "It's Tim's version of Roald Dahl's classic book and it's gonna be a wild ride. Tim and I have had a couple of meetings, sat down and had some talks about where he wants to go, where we need to go. And I think it's gonna be great, you know? Big shoes [to fill], though. Gene Wilder did such an awesome job in that film in the early '70s, so I mean, taking that character of Willy Wonka and going somewhere completely different is ... he sort of made the job infinitely more difficult for me".

    Kevin Smith spoke about how with Green Hornet up next for him, what that will mean for the long awaited "Fletch Won" project - "By doing 'Green Hornet' next, we just kind of pushed 'Fletch Won' by about a year, year and a half. "The opportunity to do this movie just kind of popped up, and it's once-in-a-lifetime, so I had to seize it. 'Fletch' had to take a back seat once again, but I am getting to it. I'm totally doing 'Fletch Won.' It's a movie I'm committed to. 'Fletch Won' actually goes back and tells the story of how he got the job on the paper. It's a book I love, and it's a movie I've been wanting to make for years, so I will definitely get to it"

    Elijah Wood spoke about playing in a football hooligan movie entitled "The Yank" - "It's a movie about English football — soccer — and hooliganism. Fans of football there sort of form these factions and fight amongst [each other]. It's a massive part of the culture. It's all throughout Europe and a lot of it is prevalent in England. I play an American who gets mixed up in that world after coming over to visit his sister. I've been in fight training...It'll be pretty incredibly violent and realistic, it'll be fun".
