This Friday, Academy Award Nominee Johnny Depp will stun you again with his performance in Finding Neverland (Read Review Here). Well Next year Depp’s latest reteaming with Director Tim Burton, may just turn some more heads.

After a couple weeks of speculation and paparazzi shots, check out this puppy...out of nowhere we are graced with a poster for next summer’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Depp appears in the role cemented by Gene Wilder while fellow Finding Neverland cast member, Freddie Highmore, snags the title role.

Like you, I too grew up with the 1971 classic Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. I am skeptical.....but looking at this, having seen Highmore in action, and knowing that a Depp/Burton movie always equals good things........I think it might turn out pretty good. The teaser trailer is said to debut in front of The Polar Express, until then feast on the poster. Scroll down to see the poster. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory hits theatres July 2005.
