...must know the story: saintly, poverty-stricken Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore) and his family live hard by the Wonka works, the day-to-day upkeep of which Willy (Johnny Depp) has turned over to the Oompa-Loompas. He hides five golden tickets in his candy bars, the finders of which are entitled to visit his factory.

The original movies actually had some dark elements to them–Herbie tried to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge in one. But we made the choice early on to go with the ’69 VW bug, instead of a modern one. And I think that helped to keep a connection to the older movies. I also don’t think of this movie...
