When Tim Burton made a billion dollars and more with Alice in Wonderland for Disney the roadkill kid returned in style. Welcomed back to the fold with open chequebooks Burton set about laying the foundations to revisit an old friend whose presence is easily found in his filmography and whose story he had told once [...]
Though the hype surrounding the impending “Mayan Apocalypse” will likely die out after December passes, Lewis Carroll fans will unfortunately have a doomsday of their own to deal with. Of course I could only be talking about the impending Alice In Wonderland sequel that Disney is now planning. We can’t be too surprised by the [...]
` Tim Burton’s latest slice of morbid nostalgia Frankenweenie is currently riding high on a wave of critical praise and tracing the themes and hand of Burton through his filmography is an easy and enjoyable task. The art and design of his films is, without exception, a huge draw for many of the director’s fans [...]
1818, Indiana. A young Lincoln sees his mother killed in the dead of night and grows up swearing revenge. As a young man, he meets an enigmatic stranger (Dominic Cooper) who tells him that his mother’s killer is a vampire and if he will allow himself to be trained, he can become a vampire slayer. [...]
With the London Film Festival drawing to a close last night much has happened since Tim Burton’s latest film opened the festival eleven days ago. His beautiful stop-motion elegy to a dead dog is a perfect companion piece to his original live-action short and the visual and emotional touchstone of his work in between have [...]
Film sets are chaotic places. Even on the best run, even during a take, there’s a sense that all hell could break loose any second. Indeed, if it weren’t for the ever-vigilant AD department, on most sets it probably would. Which is why the sense of quiet calm that hangs over this corner of 3 [...]
“A character has to last for a year or more of shooting, and as you’ll see, some of these things are very delicate, so we do quite a lot of hospital work, repairing things, and putting limbs back on where they’ve fallen off, or broken ears or fingers, remaking parts; just keeping them up to [...]
Ostensibly, Tim Burton’s latest stop-motion animated feature Frankenweenie may not have looked like the most fitting choice to open yesterday’s 56th BFI London Film Festival, but this Disney co-production is very much a UK-led venture. It was filmed at the 3 Mills Studios in East London by a team of talented home-grown artists and primarily brought [...]
In this stop motion retelling of his 1984 short film Tim Burton returns to the inkwell once again and the result is a beautifully made and touching film. Fuelled by childish fears and dreams and augmented with the dizzying displays of surreal fantasy the director is famous for Frankenweenie is a triumphant return. The plastic [...]
The BFI London Film Festival officially opened last night with the UK premiere of Tim Burton’s latest feature, Frankenweenie, a black and white stop-motion film destined to become something of a cult classic. With the festival now underway, the juries for the separate categories in competition have been announced, with Sir David Hare, Tom Hiddleston, [...]
For those familiar with the Alamo Drafthouse and their now 8 year old, blossoming Festival, the words Fantastic Fest conjure up all sorts of morbidly twisted imagery. It’s kind of a sick spin on the often cited Internet Rule 34, except in this case, it’s broadened to include the whole gamut of grotesqueness that one [...]
Announced last month as the Opening Night Film of the BFI London Film Festival next month, we’ve seen plenty of great things from Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie already. The film is a feature-length remake of Burton’s own 1984 short film of the same name, and now a new clip featuring our hero, Victor, and his beloved [...]
I can’t wait to see Tim Burton’s retelling of his 1984 short Frankenweenie. It’s the only reason I’ll accept Dark Shadows into the world, and the early buzz from those who have seen it is very encouraging. So, with an Opening Gala for the London Film Festival in our future there’s no better time to [...]
The BFI have just announced that their opening film for the 2012 London Film Festival will be Tim Burton’s 3D stop-motion update of his 1984 short Frankenweenie. The film will also have a ‘simultaneous premiere’ in 30 cinemas across the country, a move recently used for the BFI’s current Hitchcock season, and a welcome addition [...]
Monkeys! Mark Wahlberg! Opposable thumbs! All this and more is in the new episode of No Seriously Its Awesome, the podcast that’s more exciting than James Bond, the Queen and Kenneth Branagh all going on a picnic together! Hosted exclusively by Hey U Guys, every episode of NO SERIOUSLY ITS AWESOME invites a guest to [...]
This year, we’ll be treated to not one but two stop-motion animated films in the form of LAIKA’s ParaNorman and Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie. We caught a great new trailer for the latter when it went to Comic-Con earlier this month, and now we’ve got a great new set of posters, as well as a new [...]
Edward Scissorhands, one of director Johnny Depp’s best-loved roles (and one of director Tim Burton’s finest films), will be returning to our screens for the first time in more than twenty years! The eleventh season of Seth MacFarlane’s Family Guy kicks off in America this September, and EW report that Depp has returned to a [...]
Almost a decade after audiences were first promised a Batman movie – producer Michael Uslan originally announced one way back in 1980 – the summer of 1989 was effectively the summer of Batmania. From books to clothing, comics to posters, you literally couldn’t turn your head without seeing the iconic Bat-sign popping up somewhere – [...]
They are throwing these trailer out of Comic-Con at a cracking rate so without further ado here’s the ‘tribute trailer’ to Tim Burton’s 3D stop motion reworking of Frankenweenie. If you missed it earlier today there’s also a neat poster displaying much of the same spirit as this new trailer, check that one out here. [...]
Expect a whole lot of these Comic-Con specials over the next few days and let’s hope they are as cool as this one. Tim Burton’s 3D resurrection of his ’84 short Frankenweenie is out here on the 17th of October and as well as a few very nice galleries and a couple of great trailers [...]
