Given his roles in the epic The Lord of the Rings trilogy and Frank Miller's Sin City, Elijah Wood knows a thing or two about what makes a good on-screen adaptation. So, when asked what film he'd nominate to be blinked out of existence, he chose Tim Burton's questionable take on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory from 2005.
He made the suggestion during a round of Movie Fights, a panel show from Screen Junkies where personalities debate topics based on the silver screen, in 2017. In his mind, Burton's version of the children’s story "destroyed the book and destroyed the original film," referencing the 1971 movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, a widely beloved comedy-musical featuring Gene Wilder.
