Page "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" Paragraph 11

Another film version, titled Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and directed by Tim Burton, was released on 15 July 2005 ; this version starred Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka, Freddie Highmore as Charlie Bucket, Deep Roy as the Oompa-Loompas, and Geoffrey Holder as the Narrator.

The Brad Grey production was a hit, grossing about $ 470 million worldwide with an estimated budget of $ 150 million.

It was distributed by Warner Bros.

The 1971 and 2005 films are consistent with the written work to varying degrees.

The Burton film, in particular, greatly expanded Willy Wonka's personal back-story borrowing many themes and elements from the sequel.

Both films, likewise, heavily expanded the personalities of the four " bad " children and their parents from the limited descriptions in the book.

A video game based on Burton's adaptation was released on July 11, 2005.
