“Wonka” marks the third time Roald Dahl’s 1964 novel, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” will be adapted for the big screen.

Gene Wilder portrayed Willy Wonka in the 1971 movie adaptation “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory,” and Johnny Depp portrayed the eccentric chocolate factory owner in the 2005 version, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.”

The 2005 film touched on the chocolatier’s candy ambitions as a result of being raised by a candy-hating father who was a dentist.

“Wonka” will be released Dec. 15.
