One day, Wonka announces a contest, in which Golden Tickets have been placed in five random worldwide, and the winners will be given a full tour of the factory as well as a lifetime supply of chocolate, while one ticketholder will be given a special prize at the end of the tour.Wonka's sales subsequently skyrocket, and the first four tickets are found fairly quickly. The recipients are, a gluttonous German boy;, a very spoiled English girl;, an arrogant gum chewer, and, an ill-tempered television and video game addict. Charlie tries twice to find a ticket, but both bars come up empty. After overhearing that the final ticket was found in, Charlie finds a ten-dollar note, and purchases a Wonka Bar at a news shop.

At the exact moment it was revealed that the Russian ticket was forged, Charlie discovers the real fifth ticket inside the wrapper. Charlie receives monetary offers for the ticket, but decides to keep it and bring Grandpa Joe to accompany him on the factory tour.Charlie and the other ticket holders are greeted by Wonka outside the factory, who then leads them into the facility. Individual character flaws cause four children to give into temptation, be eliminated from the tour, and the sing a song of morality after each elimination. During the tour, flashbacks reveal Wonka's troubled past; his father, a prominent dentist named Wilbur, strictly forbade Wonka from consuming candy due to the potential risk to his teeth, and also made Wonka wear extreme uncomfortable braces. After sneaking over a piece of candy, Wonka was instantly hooked, and ran away to follow his dreams.

When he returned, both his father and their house were gone. After the tour, the four children leave the factory with an exaggerated characteristic or deformity related to their demise, while Charlie learns Wonka intended to find a worthy heir to his factory.

And entered discussions with the Dahl estate in 1991, hoping to purchase the rights to produce another film version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The purchase was finalized in 1998, with Dahl's widow, ('Liccy'), and daughter, receiving total and final privilege on the choices of actors, directors and writers. The Dahl Estate's subsequent protection of the was the main reason that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory had languished in since the 1990s.was hired to write the screenplay in February 1999, after approaching Warner Bros.

Frank, a recent -nominee for the R-rated crime film, wanted to work on a film that his children could enjoy. As an enthusiastic fan of the book, he intended to remain more faithful to Dahl's vision than the 1971 film had been. Was under discussions for Willy Wonka, but lost interest. Signed to direct in February 2000, which resulted in Frank completing two drafts of the screenplay, before leaving with Ross in September 2001. Both Warner Bros.

And the Dahl Estate wanted Frank to stay on the project, but he faced scheduling conflicts and contractual obligations with (2002) and (2007).entered negotiations to take the director's position in October 2001, and Gwyn Lurie was hired to start from scratch on a new script in February 2002. Lurie said she would adapt the original book and ignore the 1971 film adaptation. Dahl's estate championed Lurie after being impressed with her work on another Dahl adaptation, a live-action adaptation of, for, which was never made (Paramount distributed the earlier 1971 film version of Charlie, and later sold the rights to WB). In April 2002, was involved with the film, albeit briefly, but opted to direct instead. President wanted to direct as Willy Wonka, believing the duo could make Charlie and the Chocolate Factory relevant to mainstream audiences, but Liccy Dahl opposed this. Pre-productionAfter receiving enthusiastic approval from the Dahl Estate, Warner Bros.

Hired to direct in May 2003. Burton compared the project's languishing development to (1989), which he directed, in how there had been varied creative efforts with both films. He said, 'Scott Frank's version was the best, probably the clearest, and the most interesting, but they had abandoned that.' Liccy Dahl commented that Burton was the first and only director the estate was happy with. He had previously produced another of the author's adaptations with (1996), and, like Roald and Liccy, disliked the 1971 film because it strayed from the book's storyline. As a child, Dahl was the author who I connected to the most.

He got the idea of writing a mixture of light and darkness, and not speaking down to kids, and the kind of humor that kids get. I've always liked that, and it's shaped everything I've felt that I've done.—Tim BurtonDuring pre-production Burton visited Dahl's former home in the Buckinghamshire village of. Liccy Dahl remembers Burton entering Dahl's famed writing shed and saying, 'This is the Buckets' house!' And thinking to herself, 'Thank God, somebody gets it.'

Liccy also showed Burton the original handwritten, which Burton discovered were more than the published book. The manuscripts included a child named Herpes, after. Burton immediately thought of for the role of Willy Wonka, who in August 2003 joined the film, his fourth collaboration with the director.Lurie's script received a rewrite by, who worked with Burton on, but the director hired screenwriter in December 2003 to start from scratch.

Both August and Burton were fans of the book since their childhoods. August first read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when he was eight years old, and subsequently sent Dahl a fan letter. He did not see the 1971 film prior to his hiring, which Burton believed would be fundamental in having August stay closer to the book. The writer updated the Mike Teavee character into an obsessive video game player, as compared to the novel, in which he fantasized about violent crime films. The characters Arthur Slugworth and Prodnose were reduced to brief cameo appearances, while Mr. Beauregarde was entirely omitted.Burton and August also worked together in creating Wilbur Wonka, Willy's domineering dentist father. Burton thought the paternal character would help explain Willy Wonka himself and that otherwise he would be 'just a weird guy'.

La Fabrica De Chocolates

The element of an estranged father-son relationship had previously appeared in Big Fish, similarly directed by Burton and written by August. And the director held differences over the characterizations of Charlie Bucket and Willy Wonka. The studio wanted to entirely delete Mr. Bucket and make Willy Wonka the idyllic Charlie had longed for his entire life. Burton believed that Wonka would not be a good father, finding the character similar to a recluse.

Burton said, 'In some ways, he's more screwed up than the kids.' Also wanted Charlie to be a, but Burton resisted the characterization. He wanted Charlie to be an average child who would be in the background and not get in trouble. CastingPrior to Burton's involvement, Warner Bros.

Considered or discussed Willy Wonka with,. And reportedly wanted the role as well. Pitt's production company, however, stayed on to co-finance the film with Warner Bros. Was the only actor Burton considered for the role, although was Burton's second choice in case Depp was unavailable. Depp signed on without reading the script under the intention of going with a completely different approach than what did in the 1971 film adaptation.

Depp said regardless of the original film, Gene Wilder's characterization of Willy Wonka stood out as a unique portrayal.Depp and Burton derived their Willy Wonka from children's television show hosts such as ( ), and Al Lewis from, and Depp also took inspiration from various game show hosts. Burton recalled from his childhood that the characters were bizarre but left lasting impressions. He said, 'It was kind of a strange amalgamation of these weird children's TV show hosts.' Depp based Wonka's look (exaggerated and sunglasses) on editor.Comparisons were drawn between Willy Wonka. Burton disagreed with the comparisons and said Jackson, unlike Wonka, liked children. Depp said the similarities with Jackson never occurred to him. Instead, he compared Wonka to due to his 'reclusive, germaphobe, controlling' nature.

Burton agreed with the similarity to Hughes. He also cited from as an inspiration for Wonka, as Kane is 'somebody who was brilliant but then was traumatized and then retreats into their own world'. Depp wanted to sport for the part and have a long, elongated nose, but Burton believed it would be too outrageous.

During production, Gene Wilder, in an interview with, accused the filmmakers of only remaking the 1971 film for the purpose of money. Depp said he was disappointed by Wilder's comment, and responded that the film was not a remake, but a new adaptation of Dahl's 1964 book.The casting calls for Charlie Bucket, Violet Beauregarde, Veruca Salt, and Mike Teavee took place in the United States and United Kingdom, while Augustus Gloop's casting took place in Germany. Burton said he sought actors 'who had something of the character in them', and found Mike Teavee the hardest character to cast.

Burton was finding trouble casting Charlie, until Depp, who had worked with on, suggested Highmore for the part. Highmore had already read the book before, but decided to read it once more prior to auditioning. The actor did not see the original film adaptation, and chose not to see it until after Burton's production, so his portrayal would not be influenced.Before Adam Godley was officially cast as Mr. Teavee, and were all considered for the role.It has been rumored that was considered for the role of Grandpa Joe. Other actors that were considered for Grandpa Joe included,. Filmingfor Charlie and the Chocolate Factory started on June 21, 2004 at in England.

Director Tim Burton and composer found filming somewhat difficult because they were simultaneously working on. The Wonka Factory exterior was coincidentally constructed on the same Burton had used for in (1989). The ceremonial scene required 500 local. The Chocolate Room/River setpiece filled Pinewood's. As a consequence of rules, which state that children can only work four and a half hours a day, filming for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory took six months, ending in December 2004. DesignThe architecture of the Bucket family home was influenced by Burton's visit to Roald Dahl's writing hut. Like the book, the film has a 'timeless' setting and is not set in a specific country.

'We've tried not to pinpoint it to any place,' production designer explained. 'The cars, in fact, drive down the middle of the road.' The town, whose design was shaped by the black and white urban photography of, as well as and, is arranged like a medieval village, with Wonka's estate on top and the Bucket shack below. The filmmakers also used for Wonka's factory exterior, and designed most of the sets on 360°, similar to.

Burton biographer Mark Salisbury wrote that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 'melds 1950s and '70s visuals with a futuristic sensibility that seems straight out of a 1960s sense of the future.' The 'TV Room' was patterned after photographs from the films,. Danger Diabolik also served as inspiration for the Nut Room and Inventing Room. Visual effectsTim Burton avoided using too many digital effects because he wanted the younger actors to feel as if they were working in a realistic environment. As a result, techniques, oversized props and were used to avoid (CGI). Was cast to play the based on his previous collaborations with Burton on. The actor was able to play various Oompa-Loompas using, digital.

'Tim told me that the Oompa-Loompas were strictly programmed, like robots — all they do is work, work, work,' Roy commented. 'So when it comes time to dance, they're like a regiment; they do the same steps.' A practical method was considered for the scene in which Violet Beauregarde turns blue and swells up into a giant 10-foot blueberry. A suit with an air hose was considered at one point for the beginnings of the swelling scene, before the decision was made to do the entire transformation in CGI.

The visual effects house Cinesite was recruited for this assignment. In some shots of AnnaSophia Robb's head, a facial prosthetic was worn to give the impression that her cheeks had swelled up as well. Because this decision was made late in the film's production, any traces of Violet's blueberry scene were omitted from trailers or promotional material.Rather than rely on CGI, Burton wanted the 40 in the Nut Room to be real. The animals were trained every day for 10 weeks before filming commenced. They began their coaching while newborns, fed by bottles to form relationships with human trainers. The squirrels were each taught how to sit upon a little blue bar stool, tap and then open a walnut, and deposit its meat onto a conveyor belt. 'Ultimately, the scene was supplemented by CGI and,' Burton said, 'but for the close-ups and the main action, they're the real thing.'

Wonka's Viking boat for the Chocolate River sequence floats down a realistic river filled with 192,000 gallons of faux melted chocolate. 'Having seen the first film, we wanted to make the chocolate river look edible,' McDowell said. 'In the first film, it's so distasteful.' The production first considered a CGI river, but Burton was impressed with the artificial substance when he saw how it clung to the boat's oars. Nine shades of chocolate were tested before Burton settled on the proper. Further information:The original music score was written by, a frequent collaborator with director. Elfman's score is based around three primary themes: a gentle family theme for the Buckets, generally set in upper; a mystical, string-driven for Willy Wonka; and a hyper-upbeat factory theme for full orchestra, Elfman's homemade samples and the diminutive chanting voices of the Oompa-Loompas.Elfman also wrote and performed the vocals for four songs, with pitch changes and modulations to represent different singers.

The lyrics to the Oompa-Loompa songs are adapted from the original book, and are thus credited to. Following Burton's suggestion, each song in the score is designed to reflect a different.

'Wonka's Welcome Song' is a maddeningly cheerful theme park ditty, 'Augustus Gloop' a spectacle (per 's suggestion), 'Violet Beauregarde' is 1970s, 'Veruca Salt' is 1960s /, and 'Mike Teavee' is a tribute to late 1970s (such as ) and early 1980s.The original motion picture was released on July 12, 2005 by.ReleaseCharlie and the Chocolate Factory had its at the, on July 10, 2005, where money for the was raised. The film was released in the United States on July 15, 2005 in 3,770 theaters (including theaters). MarketingEarly in the development of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in February 2000, Warner Bros. Announced their intention of marketing the film with a musical after release.

The studio reiterated their interest in May 2003, however, the idea was postponed by the time filming began in June 2004. The main for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory focused on, a division of.

Audiences polled by gave the film an average grade of 'A–' on an A+ to F scale.of praised Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, writing 'Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka may be a stone freak, but he is also one of Burton's classic crackpot conjurers, like or.' Gave an overall positive review and enjoyed the film. He was primarily impressed by Tim Burton's direction of the younger cast members, but was disappointed with Depp's performance: 'What was Depp thinking of?

In he was famously channeling, which may have primed us to look for possible inspirations for this performance.' From the found Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Burton's 'best work in years. If all the laughs come from Depp, who gives Willy the mannerisms of a classic Hollywood diva, the film's heart comes from Highmore, a gifted young performer whose performance is sincere, deep and unforced in a way that's rare in a child actor.' Wrote in magazine that 'Depp's deliciously demented take on Willy Wonka demands to be seen. Depp goes deeper to find the bruises on Wonka's secret heart than what Gene Wilder did. Depp and Burton may fly too high on the vapors of pure imagination, but it's hard to not get hooked on something this tasty. And how about that army of Oompa-Loompas, all played by Deep Roy, in musical numbers that appear to have been choreographed by on crack.'

Ann Hornaday of criticized Depp's acting. 'The cumulative effect isn't pretty. Nor is it kooky, funny, eccentric or even mildly interesting. Indeed, throughout his fey, simpering performance, Depp seems to be straining so hard for weirdness that the entire enterprise begins to feel like those excruciating occasions when your parents tried to be hip.

Aside from Burton's usual eye-popping direction, the film's strenuous efforts at becoming a classic eventually begin to wear thin.' In 2007, said he chose not to see the film. 'The thing that put me off. I like Johnny Depp, I like him, as an actor I like him very much. But when I saw little pieces in the promotion of what he was doing, I said I don't want to see the film, because I don't want to be disappointed in him.' In 2013, when Wilder was asked about the Burton remake, he said 'I think it's an insult.

It's probably Warner Bros.' He also criticized the choices that Burton made as a director, saying 'I don't care for that director. He's a talented man, but I don't care for him doing stuff like he did.' AccoladesCostume designer received an nomination, but lost to for.
