Trivia

Albert Finney was the leading choice to play Grandpa Joe in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but when Tim Burton was attached he nixed the idea because the only big name he wanted in the movie was Johnny Depp, so Burton cast Finney in this movie to apologize. Burton reportedly also offered a role to Sam Neill, who turned it down. See more »
