this one sucks anytime johnny depp is in a movie like this he makes it into a creepy movie when its suppose to be a children s movie originally. It’s pathetic and the only time I ever liked Johnny Depp in a movie was during Pirates Of The Caribbean. Other than that he sucks ass and is not a very good actor.He ruined Charlie and the Chocolate Factory now he ruined Alice in Wonderland.

—Like so much of late from the once promising
Burton —we’ve seen it before we’ve seen it.
—AND WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE CUT AND
SCORED TO THAT SAME SAME-SAME, DONE-TO-DEATH
TECHNO BEAT? —WHY?

burton is awesome and this film will be a visual delight! frank beddor was at comic con too and said his Looking Glass Wars is being made into a film! i checked out his website and the creative team involved is really the top. his version should prove to be another great interpretation of this timeless classic. looks like we’re all going to be diving down rabbit holes for quite some time to come! i for one will be visiting every single one!

Melissa….is a genius.

If you hate burton, how about you go somewhere else and do something else with your time other than sit on this forum and bash him??

I challenge any one of you to do better. I absolutely *love*…(sarcasm) how folks are so quick to be all “BLEH im over it..im done…SO overdone…i hate it…this sucks…omg whine whine whine…” but um…hey guys? HE’S STILL MAKING MOVIES AINT HE??? So…whats the latest movie you’ve done/sold/produced/made/written/directed???

Silly people.
Nightmare before Christmas never was and never will be a movie DIRECTED by Tim Burton. That was Henry Selick. Tim Burton Produced it. Also, Stephen Sondheim is a musical geniuss. If you aren’t cultured enough to appreciate that, I’m sorry for you.

As for AIWL I’m pretty excited. This is my favorite book,and I’m hoping he does the characters justice. I know he’s straying from the original story line, but I think I’ll enjoy it as long as he stays true to the spirit of it.

@fatbologna

I’ve seen Svankmejer’s Alice and I found it to be very interesting. As you said, a little obtuse,but it was a great take on the material I think.I’d reccommend it to anyone interested in something a little different.

As for the trailer for Burton’s film,I like it. It looks good fun. Yes it does look very typical Tim Burton, but why can’t people accept that this is how his films always look, and just go with the ride and have fun with it. You can’t argue that the stories in his films are always the same,because they are most obviously not.So the constant whining is about the look and feel of them.Get over it.Loads of directors do the same thing.Unless you can do better,quit the moaning and have some fun with what are, in Burton’s case, pretty consitently interesting films.

So yep, I’m looking forward to Alice In Wonderland next year.

I think it just goes with out saying. people like what they like. I love the musical sweeny todd, i love the movie. However i think Romeo and Juilett is an over rated play that joins to socio-paths on a plight of love that ends in disaster….to say the least.

I love tim burton and I love his films. Thier dark, and dreary, but with always one element in them that inspires hope in a dark and dismal world. He uses imagination to create well thought up characters and never has just a normal regular story. He always has some kind of twist.

This movie looks amazing. I can’t wait to see it. It’s one of the movies i’m looking forward to the most in 2010.

I completely agree, Swarez. I was bored out of my mind with Sweeney Todd, and I love musicals!

I was hoping this would be darker and alternative in order to redeem Burton in my mind, but so far it’s just not. Take Johnny Depp out and maybe we’ll talk lol.

I would be completely happy with another Big Fish.

Sweeney Todd was a god awful film for probably the worst musical I’ve ever heard. Would have been so much better if they skipped the musical elements all together. It boggles the mind how this musical is popular, the songs are terrible.

So, not a Burton fan, Swarez? Neither am I, really, but I was surprisingly well entertained by Sweeney Todd, and I don’t care much for musicals, either. I remember enjoying Big Fish, too, so I’m all about the benefit of the doubt.
