Marilyn Manson says he plans to portray Willy Wonka as the devil in Tim Burton's planned remake of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, which starred Gene Wilder in the title role in the 1971 original.

"I really see the movie as a metaphor. I see Willy Wonka as Satan because he presents people with the temptation of picking good and evil, and they all pick evil,"

Manson told the London Daily Sun. "Willy Wonka is one of my favorite movies," Manson added, "and I think I can play that role like no one else."
