I think this is simply a rumor--AFAIK (and according to the
film's status at Corona), the Willy Wonka movie is still in
development hell. I don't think there's been news on
the project for a *long* time. There was a director attached
to it over a year ago, but it doesn't have a cast attached,
let alone be ready for a release in 2003.

What's most suspicious, however is that "April 1st" release
date. :) April 1, 2003 is a Tuesday--movies in the US are
usually released on a Friday (and occasionally a Wednesday).
I'm with whoever said it sounds like an early April Fool's
joke. :)
