Take-Two Interactive sent us the first three screenshots from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, a videogame based on the upcoming motion picture starring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Christopher Lee. The main character, Charlie Bucket, a good-hearted boy from a poor family who lives in the shadow of a factory owned by Willy Wonka, an eccentric chocolatier. 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. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is developed for PC and GBa by Backbone Entertainment, and by High Voltage Software for PS2, Xbox and GC.
