Tim Burton's Next Film

Johnny Depp is gonna be the mad hatter!

Ooooh! I can't wait for this to come out. I need to watch Sweeny Todd still. I have it on DVD, I just want to be able to relax and watch it without the kids running around and distracting me. (=

I love Sweeney Todd - I listen to the soundtrack continuously! Corpse Bride is one of my favourite Tim Burton films, but haven't seen it for ages as I lent the dvd to someone and she hasn't given it back yet! I agree about the Batman film though, it was so boring! Can't wait for Alice - I reckon Helena should play the Queen of Hearts

Am I the only one that thinks Tim Burton is horribly over rated?

His movies have a certain unique flair ot them, but honestly, most of his original work I have found to be quite mediocre.

I thought The Nightmare Before Christmas was awful, and the Corpse Bride was kinda lame. There are a lot I haven't seen because I simply haven't bothered after seeing his other work.

I have enjoyed Edward Scissorhands and Sweeney Todd so far. As an actor, I didn't care much for anything but the more interesting direction he took Sweeney Todd in. I liked the darker tones throughout the movie that I hadn't seen onstage before. I thought the acting was a bit mediocre, and the Broadway soundtracks are a bit better, but it was still enjoyable. Edward Scissorhands is probably my favorite. It was all about the acting for me. Depp did a fantastic job with that character, and I haven't reacted quite the same to any character until Wall-E.

I don't know, maybe I'm just missing something that everyone else is seeing, but I fail to see the brilliance in most of his films.

I don't like it when people re-make stuff but I do like the tones of his movies and the way they look. And I think Johnny Depp is a wonderful actoe so I will watch anything he's in.

Personally I don't think he is over rated, I am sure there are more people out there who do think that.
By "original work" I don't know if you just mean films that he didn't remake, or films he also wrote?
I will go with the films he didn't remake
I love more of his films, than I hate.
Beetle Juice, Edward Scissorhands, Big Fish and Mars Attacks are some of my all time favourite films.

oooh Can't wait

Yes, that is what I meant. I'm not a fan of his stuff that he wrote on his own, personally. They don't seem to have a sense of a beginning, middle, and end. Sometimes I'll feel like I'm just getting towards the middle of the movie, and there is some mini-boss battle looking thing, but no, thats the end. I found that I felt that MOST in Nightmare, and Corpse Bride, which happen to be one of his most popular. Not sure if thats just me or not.

Some of his co-written stuff is alright, but I think its probably because its co-written. Scissorhands was fantastic, because it felt a lot more human than his other films, and I have a feeling that its because it wasn't as much of his writing.

ah yes
heard about this about a month or 2 ago..
i nearly died of excitement.

i'm a HUGE fan of his work. tnbc, edward scissorhands and vincent are my favourite movies from him. [well, vincent's a short movie but whatever.]

but yeah, i seriously cannot wait for more news on it.
i hope johnny depp is cast as the mad hatter, i just think he'd be perfect for the role.
and he is such an amazing actor.

Johnny is the mad hatter and Helena is the Queen of Hearts

oooh FABULAAARRRSE! omg omg excited I love Helena!

The music for the Nightmare Before Christmas was so much better than Corpse Bride.

and Anne Hathaway is the white Queen( I think thats her name)

Oh yes the music in TNBC was much better, I felt like when I listened to the Corpse music, it was tunes he had left over from the first one, they were far too similar and not at all good enough.

yeah, i agree with darling chelsea.
i also really liked the music on edward scissor hands, especially the ice dance song.
it's amazing, and so is the scene it plays in.

I am almost sure if is all done by Danny Elfman He has a great score history.
