The Wonderful World Of Tim Burton | Charlie & The Chocolate Factory (2005)

Charlie & The Chocolate Factory (2005)
Reuniting once again with cohort Depp, Burton relished the challenge of re-imagining a Roald Dahl classic: "Johnny and I have this process where we sort of speak in the abstract with each other and yet can still somehow understand each other. And the great thing about [Dahl's] writing is that he leaves a lot open for interpretation, so we had complete freedom to devise what each of the rooms looked like, the Bucket House, all of that. I enjoyed not quite knowing exactly what kind of plants we were going to make or if we were going to find the right consistency for the chocolate so it didn't look like brown water."
