Willy Wonka gets videogame, with new movie in the works

Take-Two has secured the rights to Willy Wonka games based on the upcoming remake, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The Warner Bros. film is being directed by Tim Burton and will feature Johnny Depp as the eccentric candyman himself. Take-Two plans on a release for the game that coincides with the movie, and will perhaps follow up with subsequent titles depending on the first game's success. The console version is being developed by High Voltage Software, while Backbone Entertainment is handling the PC and portable sides. No details yet on how exactly the teams are planning to translate Roald Dahl's classic into an interactive experience.
