Which Roald Dahl book became the 2005 film directed by Tim Burton?

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory became the 2005 film directed by Tim Burton.

The film adapts Roald Dahl’s 1964 novel about Charlie Bucket, a poor boy who wins a tour of Willy Wonka’s extraordinary chocolate factory. Tim Burton directed the adaptation, and Johnny Depp played Willy Wonka. Freddie Highmore portrayed Charlie.

The 2005 film is distinct from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, the 1971 adaptation starring Gene Wilder. Both films are based on Dahl’s novel, but they have different titles, directors, casts and visual styles.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was released in July 2005 and became a major international box-office success. Burton’s version includes familiar elements such as the golden tickets, the Oompa-Loompas and the factory’s dangerous rooms, while also expanding Wonka’s personal backstory.
