Charlie And The Chocolate Factory Movie Description:
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a 2005 musical fantasy film directed by Tim Burton and written by John August, based on the 1964 British novel of the same name by Roald Dahl. The film stars Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka and Freddie Highmore as Charlie Bucket, alongside David Kelly, Helena Bonham Carter, Noah Taylor, Missi Pyle, James Fox, Deep Roy, and Christopher Lee. The storyline follows Charlie as he wins a contest along with four other children and is led by Wonka on a tour of his chocolate factory.
Development for a second adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory began in 1991, which resulted in Warner Bros. providing the Dahl estate with total artistic control. Prior to Burton's involvement, directors such as Gary Ross, Rob Minkoff, Martin Scorsese, and Tom Shadyac had been involved, while actors Bill Murray, Nicolas Cage, Jim Carrey, Michael Keaton, Brad Pitt, Will Smith, Adam Sandler, and many others, were either in discussion with or considered by the studio to play Wonka. Burton immediately brought regular collaborators Depp and Danny Elfman aboard. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory represents the first musical film directed by Burton and the first time since The Nightmare Before Christmas that Elfman contributed to a film score using written songs and his vocals.
Filming took place from June to December 2004 at Pinewood Studios in the United Kingdom. Rather than using computer-generated environments, Burton primarily used built sets and practical effects, which he claimed was inspired by the book's emphasis on texture. Wonka's Chocolate Room was constructed on the 007 Stage at Pinewood, complete with a faux chocolate waterfall and river. Squirrels were trained from birth for Veruca Salt's elimination. Actor Deep Roy performed each Oompa-Loompa individually rather than one performance duplicated digitally. Burton shot the film simultaneously alongside the stop-motion animated film Corpse Bride, which he also directed.
Willy Wonka-themed chocolate bars were sold, and a Golden Ticket contest was launched as part of the film's marketing campaign. Early plans to promote the film with a Broadway theatre musical were not realized. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory premiered on July 10, 2005, and was released in the United States on July 15 to positive critical reviews, who commended it for its visual appeal and dark tone. It was also a box office success, grossing US$475 million and becoming the eighth-highest-grossing film worldwide in 2005. The film received a nomination for Best Costume Design at the 78th Academy Awards, while Depp was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Musical or Comedy. It remains the highest-grossing film adaptation based on a Roald Dahl novel as well as Tim Burton's second-highest-grossing film to date.

Wow, I See Alot Of Butt Hurt People In These Comments. I Can Understand You Not Liking A Movie Because Of The Writing, Acting, Directing, Or Even The Tone. Everyone Has Their Own Opinions. But To Not Like A Movie Because Your Weird Cultish Self Is Just So Attached To The Original, That You Dont Want To Accept Anything Else. Because You Think You Trashing This One, Or Any Other Remake Is Your Weird Way Of Showing Love And Respect To The Original. That's So Childish. That's Not A Damn Opinion. I Don't Know Whats Up With People And Their Weird Obsession, To Want To Defend Something That Doesn't Even Need To Be Defended. This Is Technically Not Even A Remake, Its So Much Different From The Original And Actually Tries To Translate The Book On To The Screen. That Can Be Considered A Different Movie. Another Point... The Reason For These Remakes Being Made Are To Keep The IPs Alive And Let The Next Generation Experience Them In Their Way And In A Updated Time And Format. But Yall Don't Think About That, Yall So Worried That Original Will Get Burried. When It's Actually The Opposite, Every Time The Remake Comes Out It Gets People Interested In The Original. Especially When Some Of Yall Won't Shut Up Crying About The Original. Yes I Know People Don't Like Cash Grabs And That's Another Reason Why People Will Hate On Reactions. But That Still Hits On My Topic, WHY?! Don't You Have Something More Important To Worry About? Also Just Because It's A Remake Doesn't Mean It's For You! It's For The Next Generation, But Some Of Yall Are So Damn Selfish That Yall Don't Think Of That Either. My Goodness Some People Really Can't Read, My Comment Is Not Up For Interpretation. My Comment Is So Straight And Simple, It Is What It Is. People Bringin Up Other Stuff That has Nothing Do To With What I'm Saying.

Its literally the modern state of movies that people "despise" a remake. Even though this one came out a WHILE ago....People now are still going to hate on it because it "isnt" the original. Its a really stupid thought process. Movies should be good or not. There are plenty of comedies from when i was younger, that I dont like anymore, and vice versa. But just to disown the idea of something STRICTLY for being a remake, is really dumb imo.

I always felt like this version was judged very harshly; especially since it is not a remake of the Gene Wilder Version like so many claim, it was always meant to be a seperate film, and also something that is very ironic is that people judge it for not being accurate to the Gene Wilder version, yet this film is more accurate to the original book than the Gene Wilder Version ever was, so much so that even Roald Dahl's family felt it was more respectful to his work, wheras Roald Dahl (oddly enough) despised the Gene Wilder version and considered it a travesty just to be clear, this is not saying that people aren't allowed to enjoy the Gene Wilder version, I enjoy that film as well, but I hope my comment will give some perspective to this film's harsh judgement, especially since some of y'all in this comment section are kinda crazy, like I get not liking a film but y'all don't need to be disrespectful to someone who died ok? Edit: Holy Hell dude, I don't even know what to say to some of these replies other than just "Wow", I am stunned, I have geniunely never seen this mucj aggression over such a nornal topic But at any rate I guess I'm a Psychopath and a kid now, man I better tell my Fiancee to watch out shouldn't I? 🥴

Its a second adaptation

[@dontbstingy3587]

Dumb comment. Liking this version more DOES show something is wrong with you, especially as a judge of film. It's ugly, cold and souless with bad acting and horrible songs. What Dahls family or he thinks of the adaptation means absolutely nothing, he has a record of being old and bitter about everything to do with his books. Also, a good film stands on it's own and shouldn't need his "family" to justify why people should like this muddy, dead mess of movie. Accuracy has nothing to do with what is or isnt a good film. Sorry not sorry, it sucks and so do people who enjoy it.

For the Chocolate Room: Production designer Alex McDowell insisted on having the river look edible. Burton wanted the river to have a real chocolatey feel and not just brown water, so they came up with a faux chocolate concoction, taking months to create a non-toxic edible substance with the right consistency. The final mixture was a mix of water and a thickening agent known as Natrosol, with food dye used to achieve the brown coloring. Wonka's boat took 20 weeks to build and incorporated 54 animatronic Oompa-Loompas, along with its own internal rowing mechanism! For the squirrels: A good number of them were real! In total, there were 40 real squirrels, which were professionally trained by Animal trainer Michael Alexander and his team. They spent a total of 19 weeks training these squirrels for this one scene. The squirrels were trained to sit on stools while they opened shells and dropped them onto a conveyor belt. Originally they wanted to train 100 squirrels, however due to the fact that squirrels can be difficult to handle and unpredictable, they trained 40 and the rest was animated in afterwards.

[@walkofnails2923]

I do like this one better. I like Wonka’s backstory and the Oompa Loompa guy is so great! In the dance numbers, he actually shot every scene in different spots. Like you would think he would do a dance once and then they could photoshop him into the rest of the scene, especially that Augustus Gloop song. But nope - he would move over to a new mark and do the dance again so it looked slightly different (so it would appear like there really were several Oompa Loompas.) His name is Deep Roy and he worked hard on this, even without having many lines

[@gabrielhagedorn5942]

I absolutely love the darker, weirder tone that this movie went for. Personally, I just prefer when movies do that in general, but it’s also relevant because it’s more faithful to the book. Also, people like to hate on Depp’s Wonka performance, but it makes perfect sense that Wonka would be so weird after being locked up in his factory alone for decades while having to deal with daddy issues.

[@KillerXGothMadness]

Mel, I am also team Tim Burton version as well. Also, the author of the book disowned the original film as well. I actually read the book in the third grade as a class and we watched the film afterwards. I never really cared for either one growing up. It was not until this version came out that got me interested because it was a Tim Burton film. It was a movie that I was able to enjoy watching with my siblings as well. I would much prefer Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka because Gene Wilder seems very offputting, especially when he was screaming at the end. The original had songs that I do not care for while the Tim Burton film songs are really catchy. I could go on and on of my preferences on this version but I understand that the original is very important for the people who grew up with it. It's too bad that many admirers of original films and other nostalgia tend to be too protective and nasty to everyone who dares think differently. If a movie is made well, that is what's really important. If you want an example of a movie where the original is way better than the remake, then look no further than Red Dawn. I also have another film version that I liked better than the original and that is Footloose. The remake came out while I was in high school and I loved the more modernity and music (I loved David Banner's song "Dance the Night Away).

[@diypropsmodels7064]

In Violet case, not only Willy warned her about the chewing gum but grandpa Joey also warned her as well probably because he knew a lot about Wonka since he is an ex-employee

Personally I don’t get the hate of this movie. I surprisingly found it really good. The first movie didn’t have much of a backstory about Wonka and the Oompa Loompa’s. I found it quite interesting. Johnny Depp did really good as him. Rating 8/10. I mean the only downside was the Oompa Loompa’s.

[@jordynharris6043]

It’s funny to me that you mentioned a “horror” version, because the musical is way darker. Veruca gets ripped apart by the squirrels and violet explodes

[@diamcole]

The two are so different, I have to remind myself that they're technically covering the same material haha! I like them both for different reasons - the first just feels "nostalgic", like a movie I can watch during the holidays every year and feel connected to my grandparents and the 2005 film is one I can just watch over and over again because (as a 90s baby) I grew up with it. Johnny is such a talented actor and he brought the role to life, in my opinion.

The difference in my opinion between Willy wonka and Charlie and the chocolate factory is different levels of imagination from the book. While yes willy wonka was more of a musical experience than more of a CGI. Charlie and the chocolate factory had a different type of music genre for each kid that got booted. Augustus gloop was broadway. Violet was disco. Verucca was 60's/woodstock. Finally Mike was Rock. There were a lot of references to the first one. There's no knowing where they're going. That was gene wilder. I literally got done writing the music genre thing 2 minutes before you said it. Lol

Don’t worry man. The author of the book hated the “original” so bad he stood outside movie theaters on opening weekend and shouted at people not to see it. Then he stipulated in his legal estate that no more movies could be made out of his books until he died so he’d never have to see them.

I’ve really come to like this movie. You noticed right away how drab and gray everything in the movie was leading up to the factory, it was to put further emphasis on how Willy Wonka sees things differently from everyone else in the world. He’s a total recluse because he was brought up in an environment where he thought he had to hide what he loves, and he continued doing it into adulthood because of his unresolved trauma between him and his father. Just like you said; I wasn’t a fan when it came out (I was in 3rd grade lol) but looking back; this is definitely the version I like the most.

[@Moricant]

The part with the pink sheep that Wonka doesn’t want to talk about is a reference to the pink angora sweater from Ed Wood. I grew up with the book and the Gene Wilder version but always preferred this adaptation since it came out. There is an element of viciousness in nearly all of Dahl’s work that the older version doesn’t manage to capture though. My favourite Depp film is probably Sleepy Hollow.

[@katidafinn7887]

One of Roald Dahl's daughters, said while this movie was being made that she could see her father absolutely love the movie. Unlike the older version which he refused to watch. I liked the movie after seeing it the first time even though I still preferred the older version. However, after seeing a documentery about the writer Roald Dahl as the children and friends of Roald said they could see their father and friend in Willy Wonka made me enjoy Tim Burton's version even more.

Tim Burton's darker more serious tone for this movie adds a sense of realism throughout the movie. That's why when you get to the chocolate factory everything Willy Wonka does and shows them just seems so extraordinary. Something a lot of people seem to miss. It's almost like the rest of the world is void of life and color but this one crazy guy who runs a chocolate factory is just breathing life into everything around him.

[@Freezient]

While I haven’t watch the first one, but I definitely like this one better especially with how the chocolate factory looks, it does looks more cold in a way, but also in a fun way. Also its very interesting when Wonka was clapping after the Oompa’s first performance (with Augustus) you can hear Johnny Depp’s voice slipped to his natural voice with “bravo”

i never really have expectations from movies or tv shows to correlate or be similar to the movies before to an extent.. i just want to be impressed.. i never saw the first one, i love the dark undertone of number 2 and i will never watch the 3rd one that dropped this year because its just happy (some people need it but not me)..

my favorite johnny depp movies are sweeney todd and the pirates of the caribbean movies.

[@vivalasammm]

This version was always my favorite. Besides Gene Wilder's performance, the original always gave me high school play vibes lol

If I had to pick my favourite Johnny Depp movie, it’s Ed Wood, which was also directed by Tim Burton! I’d recommend that if you can find it, not many people talk about that movie and I think it’s one of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton’s best.

Fact: How did Willy’s house disappear?? Writer of Nightmare Before Christmas, Tim Burton, wanted people to think Willy’s dad was an Illusion to the story. Instead of thinking Willy’s house didn’t really disappear, but was took apart. And why and how is it outside to Snow??? Like I said, Burton wanted us to think Willy’s dad and his house as an Illusion.

This ONE IS COOL BUT I LIKE THE ORGINAL MORE! ROCK AND ROLL

[@Kari-qv1wn]

Is the first one actually considered a classic outside America? Cause i never even knew it existed until a while ago this one has always been The version for me

[@joerenaud8292]

I love this version of the movie far better than the original and I came from that era.

[@ZeliBnnuy]

Even before I knew of this movie, I saw the original thinking that it was weird and cringy cuz it is😵‍💫🥴 the Oompa Loompas song is slow and boring, and Willy Wonka seemed more like a business man than a crazy chocolatier This movie is wayyyyy better but nostalgia gets the best of people sometimes🤷🏽‍♀️

[@sketchygetchey8299]

The production design, I admit, is better. But I watched the Gene Wilder version in my adult years and was drawn more to him than this version. Sorry to poop on the party. And Grandpa Joe is still sus!

[@elizabethrosebell]

I have read the book and I can tell you that this movie is more like the book

[@richardrobbins387]

Favorite Johnny Depp movie, "Dead Man" quite a few random cameos. Great soundtrack.

[@jackyb1651]

I was never a fan of the original but i love this movie!

[@blytheguy7510]

If anyone should have made a Joker origin film it's Tim Burton. Also, it's funny that Charlie grew up to be a young Norman Bates in the Bates Motel series.

[@blytheguy7510]

My favorite Johnny Depp films are Dead Man and Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas.

Corridor digital actually did make a horror version of this movie using cgi
