New info about Tim Burton’s next film ‘Dark Shadows

Tim Burton: “There’s a strange tone to the movie. … It’s got such a strange vibe. And it’s not something that a lot of people necessarily know. You’re trying to do a weird soap opera. I felt really lucky, because the cast is really good. People like Michelle [Pfeiffer] grew up watching it. Some of the cast knew about it. Some didn’t, but they were all game for it — getting into the weird spirit of what “Dark Shadows” was. It has a weird sense of heightened melodrama. … It was hard to put into words the tone it was. It had a weird seriousness, but it was funny in a way that wasn’t really funny. We just had to feel our way through it to find the tone. We didn’t do any real rehearsals, because the cast all came in at different times. But there was an old photo of the [original] cast which I always remembered, so a couple days before shooting, we got the whole cast together to take a similar shot so everyone could see each other and get that vibe from doing a group photo. That helped set the tone more than anything.”

Movies with Michelle Pfeiffer looking unhinged! Movies with Michelle Pfeiffer looking unhinged! Michelle Pfeiffer tilted her head slightly and stared glassy-eyed into the homo-man’s face. His legs widened involuntarily and he open-mouth cried popcorn onto his genitalia. “EAT ME. PLEASE GOD CHEW ON MY DICK, PLEASE” he wept.

First look at Burton’s ‘Frankenweenie’. While I’m super excited that Tim Burton is going back to his trademark illustration style, it’s a shame it’s not a brand new story, instead of just a remake of one of his old shorts… Meh, whatever, still looks great.

Tim Burtons ‘Superman lives’ - Teaser poster. The film that never was…
Burton handed the art department a concept drawing for Brainiac, which apparently was “a cone with a round ball on top, and something that looked like a emaciated skull inside.”

Alice in Wonderland

As far as I’m concerned, Tim Burton has lost his muchness. To me, this was basically Batman as opposed to Batman Returns, which isn’t to say it was bad, at all. It was fairly okay. But it didn’t have much personality. Edward Scissorhands Suburbia was presented as more of a freakshow than wonderland. It was as if he was just the director for hire, and it was Disneys trip. For example, both the writer and the cinematographer are Disney alumni, the writer having written Beauty and the Beast, Lion King etc and the cinematographer is from Pirates of the Caribbean. Maybe if he’d wrangled up his own crew of misfits? Who knows… ALSO, step the fuck back from CG, OKAY? It’s not working, babe. Three out of five ipods.
