Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka

Depp as Wonka, I guess.

That's it. ?This picture is sort of disappointing. ?Grainy, black and white, and boring. ?But you saw it here first! ?The new film co-stars Freddie Highmore ("Five Children and It") as Charlie.

Helena Bonham Carter ("Fight Club") will also co-star as Mrs. Bucket. ?The first film was first released as an adaptation of a Roald Dahl novel in 1971

For those of you just waking from a coma, the film tells the story of Charlie, a poor boy who wins a contest, gaining entry into the secretive, magical world of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, along with several other eccentric children. ?Along with the prize is the chance to become heir to Wonka's crazy, magic candy world and all of the fame and fortune that comes along with it.

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is due out July 2005.
