Rumor has it that the lead role of Alice has been cast in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. The latest name to enter the rumor mill is Ryan Nikole Parker (pictured right), a virtual unknown with only a few television credits (One Life to Live, Kids Incorporated and American Idol).
Other names circling the rumor mill [...]

Nightmare Before Christmas use to be one of my favorite films. Tim Burton’s designs would make such great toys, but all the releases from the Nightmare series have disappointed me to the point of no purchase. I did buy up all of the small figures from Burton’s short story book The Melancholy Death of Oyster [...]

Tim Burton sat down with David Poland for a 40 minute interview to talk about his latest film, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. I really love long form interviews, and there are few directors in Hollywood that I find more interesting than Tim Burton (at least as a person). The most interesting [...]

Who is the most profitable movie director of all time? Steven Spielberg of course… But who is the second biggest money maker in Hollywood? That question isn’t as easy to answer, is it? I decided to put together a listing of the Top 10 Most Profitable Movie Directors of All Time:
Steven Spielberg
Filmography: Munich, War of [...]

Before BeetleJuice, Batman, Pee Wee Herman’s Big Adventure, and Sweeney Todd, Tim Burton directed a modern gothic violent retelling of Hansel and Gretel. Never heard of it before? I assure you, It exists. Although very little evidence can be found. And if you haven’t seen it, you likely never will.
Filmed for $116,000 on 16mm, this [...]

As you know, Tim Burton recently signed a two picture deal with Disney which will allow him to make a feature length version of Frankenweenie. I always wondered how Burton convinced Disney to remake his 1984 short. The story about a young boy who brings his dead dog back from the dead, is sure to [...]

Despite claims from IMDb, screenwriter John August is not writing the 3D feature film adaptation of Frankenweenie for Tim Burton. Apparently August had a meeting with Disney Animation last year where they pitched him the idea, complete with production art.
“Then, separately, I had a conversation with Tim about doing another stop-motion animation project like Corpse [...]

At least 5,000 3-D systems expected to be in place by 2009. DreamWorks Animation’s Jeffrey Katzenberg expects there to be 12 to 18 3D feature films by 2010. 3-D is clearly the future of cinema, at least for the near future. With the recent announcements of Tim Burton’s Alice and Wonderland/Frankenweenie, and today’s announcement of [...]

Last month we reported a rumor that Tim Burton would be making a stop motion animated feature length remake of his infamous short Frankenweenie. Well the news is now official, and it gets even better - it will be in 3D! And there is even better news, before he begins production on Frankenweenie, Burton will [...]

Paramount has sent us three new stills and a television advertisement (titled “Forgive”) from Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. The film is of course  based on the hit Broadway musical which tells the infamous story of Benjamin Barker (Johnny Depp), a.k.a Sweeney Todd, who sets up a barber shop down [...]

A new character poster (seen right) and batch of production photos from Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street has hit the interwebs. I’m hearing a lot of great advance buzz for this one. Check out the stills after the jump. As always, left click to enlarge.
Official Plot Synopsis: JOHNNY DEPP and [...]

A new Sweeney Todd Movie Trailer has found it’s way onto the interwebs. This one features less singing and music (not that the first one featured too much), and more than expected blood and gore. It looks like Paramount is going to market this film to a couple different audiences, and this may be our [...]

The trailer for Tim Burton’s big screen musical thriller adaptation Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street hits theaters this weekend (supposedly attached to The Heartbreak Kid), but why buy a ticket when you can see it online for free right now.
I’ve never been a big fan of musicals, but I’ve been following Sweeney [...]
