Tim Burton Adapts Lewis Carroll's Fantasy Masterpiece
Tim Burton making a film out of Lewis Carroll's iconic children's novel seemed like the perfect combination of director and source material. However, critics called the result his most uninspired film,a hodgepodge of images and inspirations from the story forced into a hero's journey narrative that misses the entire point of the novel's deliberately languid structure. Most of the cast are trying their best with the material, but Johnny Depp's turn as the Mad Hatter was one of his more disappo...
Tim Burton Re-Imagines The Sci-Fi Masterpiece
It’s easy to forget just how big a deal it was when it was announced that Tim Burton would be remaking the sci-fi classic Planet of the Apes. To be more accurate, Burton called the film his "re-imagining" of the original Planet of the Apes, and that term became a punchline for many a failed remake in the following years.With a $100 million budget from 20th Century Fox,the legendary Rick Baker signed on to design the astounding makeup. With a cast including Mark Wahlberg, Tim Roth, Paul Giamat...
Tim Burton Tells The True Story Of Margaret Keane
After a couple of years of disappointing movie critics, many thought Big Eyeswould be a return to form for Tim Burton, a new Ed Wood of sorts to show how adept he is at more conventional biographical dramas while remaining faithful to his roots. The result was less satisfying than that, and it did little to reverse growing critical cynicism. It is based on the true story of Margaret Keane, a painter whose eerie works of children with large emotional eyes were passed off as the work of her exp...
Remaking The Classic Supernatural Soap Opera
The 1960s series Dark Shadows was ground-breaking in its day, a gothic soap opera at a time when the genre was mostly focused on realist domestic drama. It's not hard to see why Tim Burton would be so drawn to it as a child, and Johnny Depp also cited the big screen adaptation as a dream project. The story of a vampire who awakens in the 1970s and moves in with his descendants is ripe for melodrama and fish-out-of-water humor, but so many of the jokes land oddly flat. It never settles on...
A Nove Adaptation That Seemed Perfect For Burton's Style
Based on the series of popular young adult novels by Ransom Riggs, it's easy to see why Tim Burton would be drawn to a story about strange kids with superpowers living in a gothic mansion with a mysterious woman who can turn into a falcon. The great hook of the books was the use of vintage photographs collected by the author, giving the story a unique visual language that seemed tailor-made for the big screen. While Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Childrencertainly gives Burton a large can...
Tim Burton Remakes The Disney Animated Classic
Grading any live-action remake of aDisney classic can prove tricky since the formula dictates a level of specificity and brand synergy that most run-of-the-mill remakes don't. When Tim Burton made Alice in Wonderland, that formula had not been perfected, so he got to deviate from the source material more than he probably would have only a few years later (although that may have been an improvement given how terrible that film turned out to be). With Dumbo, he had to adhere to those norms and...
