The poster boffins working on Tim Burton's adaptation of Charlie And The Chocolate Factory have delivered a new one-sheet, giving us just a glimpse more of Johnny Depp's mug in the process. The new image is a close up of Willy Wonka tipping his top hat. Behind him is the expanse of said factory, and the five lead kiddies (including the Empire Award winning Freddie Highmore front and centre as the titular Charlie) in appropriately designed bubbles. Suffice to say that it's colourful, it's Burton-esque, and bound to capture the interest of younguns and younguns at heart wherever it is shown. Simply click on the thumbnail below to view ther new poster, as well as the teaser poster and a few desktop wallpapers from the official site. Also, over at MTV.com you can catch a new photo from the film - of squirrels. Yes, Willy employs rodents. We're not sure if this contravenes a guideline or two, maybe a convention here and there, but it was in the book, and now we know that Tim's kept it in the film. For those who remember, the squirrel contingent of the Wonka workforce deals exclusively with nuts, and the cracking thereof, given their ability to get into the shells much quicker than any human or Oompa-Loompa.
