July 17, 2005 – BBC NEWS – Emma Jones interviews Johnny Depp on his approach to playing Willy Wonka in the new film adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Depp said, “There are so many levels, you want to be true to the author’s intent; you want to be true to the director’s vision; you want to be true to yourself, in some ways you want to take the character–and at the same time, I’m trying to imagine what Roald Dahl might have wanted to see in a character like Wonka today.” To view video click here.
