Gene Wilder gave a career-defining turn as Willy Wonka in the original adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic children’s book, so Johnny Depp had his work cut out for him when Tim Burton cast him in the remake. Depp’s Wonka is vastly different than Wilder’s, but he’s also arguably as iconic. It was a tough sell, bringing Burton’s gloomy, gothic visual ...
Lately, there’s been talk of the Penguin taking on Robert Pattinson’s recently cast Batman in his DCEU solo movie, and fans have been naming their top choices for the role. But let’s be honest, no one will ever be as perfect for the role as Danny DeVito. He has the look, the maniacal attitude, and the acting chops to portray Oswald Cobblepot as a c...
Originally, Kevin Yagher was set to direct Sleepy Hollow as a low-budget, run-of-the-mill slasher film. But when Tim Burton came aboard, it ballooned into a sumptuous $100 million gothic romance (with all the horror left intact). Washington Irving’s short story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which the film is based on, has long been considered the ...
In this day and age, it’s not easy to make musical movies work – especially if they revolve around barbers who slit people’s throats and then bake their flesh into pies and serve those pies to the public – but if anyone could walk that line between the whimsical and the gruesome, it’s Tim Burton.

With Johnny Depp’s public image crumbling and the director’s relationship with Helena Bonham Carter coming to an end, Tim Burton recently found himself in need of a new muse. Fortunately, he found that muse in the form of Eva Green. Green has the mystique and dark charm to pull off a Burton role, and she clearly relished that opportunity as the lea...
Tim Burton’s feature-length remake of his spooky stop-motion animated 1984 short of the same name was an unusual little movie that didn’t make a huge splash at the box office, or get a lot of attention from fans, but it was a lot of fun. It was a lighthearted take on the Frankenstein story. Instead of a mad scientist reanimating various corpses mas...
While the definitive screen version of the Joker will always be Heath Ledger’s turn in The Dark Knight, Jack Nicholson’s iteration from Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman movie is a close second. This version of the Joker was given an origin story: he’s a gangster who falls into a vat of chemicals that permanently stains his skin in the colors of clown makeu...
Inspired by a picture Tim Burton drew as a teenager growing up in a sunny suburban town, Edward Scissorhands might be the director’s quirkiest film. But it’s also one of his sweetest and most heartfelt works. The sight of a pale-skinned man with messy hair and blades for fingers would traditionally suggest a monster, but Burton flipped that expecta...
Tim Burton didn’t direct The Nightmare Before Christmas – that distinction goes to Henry Selick – but he did work on the story and act as producer, so it’s fair to say that Jack Skellington is a Tim Burton character. He’s also the ultimate antihero, as the crowned “Pumpkin King” of spooky Halloween Town who stumbles into Christmas Town and falls in...
It’s not easy to make a parasitic ghoul who takes glee in tormenting the recently deceased a likable character, but trust Michael Keaton to do just that. Whereas someone like Robin Williams or Jim Carrey would go way over-the-top with their performance in a role like Betelgeuse, Keaton walks the fine line between nuanced and wacky to deliver a char...
