December 10, 2004 - The first trailer for Tim Burton's take on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is now online! As expected, it's a pretty trippy affair. You can get your first look inside the Chocolate Factory by checking out the preview below.

Burton's trademark imaginative style is in full effect in this adaptation of the beloved Roald Dahl classic, about eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka (Depp) and Charlie, a good-hearted boy from a poor family who lives in the shadow of Wonka's extraordinary factory.  You see... Long isolated from his own family, Wonka launches a worldwide contest to select an heir to his candy empire. Five lucky children, including Charlie, draw golden tickets from Wonka chocolate bars and win a guided tour of the legendary candy-making facility that no outsider has seen in 15 years. Dazzled by one amazing sight after another, Charlie is drawn into Wonka's fantastic world in this astonishing and enduring story.

The trailer also features a great Danny Elfman theme, destined to be remixed and played in cool dance clubs everywhere.

John August adapted Dahl's book for the big screen.

Look for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in theaters in July 2005.
