The game’s celebrity lineup includes the likeness of Oscar-nominated actor Johnny Depp, who stars as Willy Wonka in the film, which is based on the Roald Dahl book and directed by Tim Burton. Additionally, the following talent from the film have provided their voice and likeness for the game: Freddie Highmore as Charlie Bucket, David Kelly as Grandpa Joe, Philip Wiegratz as Augustus Gloop, Julia Winter as Veruca Salt, Jordan Fry as Mike Teavee, and AnnaSophia Robb as Violet Beauregarde. Deep Roy provides his likeness as the Oompa-Loompas, and Geoffrey Holder provides his voice as the Narrator. Burton has provided creative consultation for the game.
“We have developed a uniquely fun gaming experience which builds on Tim Burton’s film and creative vision of the Roald Dahl book,” said Jean Raymond, Director of Marketing for Take-Two’s Los Angeles office. “We’re confident the game recreates the visual quality of the movie while delivering fun interactive environments within the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory universe to players.”
“Basing a game on this extraordinary Tim Burton film and having this remarkable lineup of talent extend their roles into the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory videogame will greatly enhance the players’ overall experience,” said Philippe Erwin, Vice President of Production for Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “Players can engage in their favorite film scenes, which are further expanded inside the game with hours of gameplay.”
