    IMO Wonka could be a second WOZ for JJP, if it's based on the original film, and given the same love, attention to detail and depth of code.

    It could, again, widen the audience from the usual pinheads.

    It could sell virtually indefinitely.

    Pat, Keith & Ted all working on it together would be something of a dream team, too.

    Quoted from PinMonk:

    Well, it's almost certainly not Pat because he's on Toy Story.

    Well given the amount of work still being done on Pirates, I'm pretty sure Eric isn't working on a second game yet.

    Pat was said to already be working heavily on 2 more games, by Jack, when DI was revealed, and was rumoured to have been working on 3 of them before DI was shown. Seems consistent.

    So I'd say Pat is almost a foregone conclusion unless they've managed to keep it extremely quiet about getting a new, or new old designer in.

    Quoted from PinMonk:

    No way Pat (or any Stern/JJP designer) is doing two in a row. So he's either doing Toy Story or Wonka, and since Toy Story was originally supposed to be first, that's the one he's likely doing. He may be helping with Wonka in an advisory role, but I seriously doubt it's his design.

    IIRC Jack said both were shootable already - and that was around when DI was unveiled. He's supposedly been working on the next two for years already. Though whether they really are Wonka, Toy Story or any of the other rumoured titles is open to question.

    Also, Aerosmith and GotG were essentially back to back - 6 months apart. Both Borg titles.

    I'd potentially take Muppets over Wonka. Depends how campy Disney allowed them to have it ... probably not much then. Toy Story and GnR I couldn't care less about.
