Every so often in cinema, a writer or director will find a performer that allows his or her creative flair to flourish. If they're really lucky, they might find two or even three. If you're Tim Burton, you have a great deal more than that.
Throughout his thirty year career of seizing audiences' imaginations, Burton has built himself an impressive web of contacts and collaborators who have become recognisable staples in Burton-lore. The most commercial of these is inarguably Johnny Depp, Burton's close friend and, it seems, kindred spirit, who is currently shooting his eighth project with the director, a big screen adaptation of gothic soap opera Dark Shadows. But what about the others?
Beetlejuice 2 filming is "99 percent done" says director Tim Burton, with production put on hold due to the strikes.
Before Batman Forever, there was Batman Continues: the third Tim Burton film in his own Dark Knight trilogy.
Tim Burton's Addams Family live-action TV series will reportedly be more adult than usual for the franchise and rated R.
