Also, his new movie totally does not have a monster visually inspired by Slenderman.


In case you're still shaking off the horror of his BLATANT RIPOFF I mean loving homage to American McGee's Alice and that absolute shitstain that was Dark Shadows, well, I don't blame you for being nontrusting about all this.

He's now adapting Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs, and the trailer has me cautiously excited.

Curiously, he's jettisoning almost all the tropes we associate with his work for this one. The lead lady is played by Eva Green, not Helena Bonham Carter. There's no Danny Elfman score either, and the screenplay comes from Stardust and X-Men: First Class' Jane Goldman, and there's no hide nor hair of Johnny Depp to be found.

Alas that Christopher Lee passed away. That's one trope I'd always pay money for.

Anyhow, the movie stars not just Eva Green, but also Hugo and Ender's Game's Asa Butterfield, The I.T Crowd's Chris O’Dowd, James Bond's Judi Dench, and Samuel L. (Motherfucking) Jackson.

August 2016 might be our chance to see Tim Burton's glorious return to form, or the final crash and burn that ruins him for all of us forever.

Have a trailer.

How not to be a dark lord: the answer to that is a terribly interesting answer that involves an almost Jedi-like adherence to keeping oneself under control and finding ways to be true to yourself in a way that doesn't encourage the worst parts of you to become dangerously exaggerated and instead feeds your better nature. Also, protip: don't fuck with Alchemy or strike up any deals with ancient Japanese Shinigami gods no matter how tempting the deal or how suavely dressed the Shinigami is.

I've also heard that Tim Burton plans to make a sequel to Beetlejuice, if it's not already underway.

Screw the pointless sequel. I hated Beetlejuice the first time around.

Let's all get psyched up for Burton doing something that ISN'T a sequel!  ;D

That movie traumatized me as a child.

So what you said was basically me as a kid after my big sister said I'd 'enjoy the movie'.
What a liar my sister turned out to be.

It's showtime! The sequel should've happened a long time ago, but if most of the cast is able to do it besides Michael Keaton (man is made of gold lately, Oscar gold), it should hopefully be a good, but long overdue sequel.

No Helena Boham Carter? No Depp? what sorcery is this?

Elfman has never been a bad part of Burton's movies though- but I suppose having some fresh musical blood cant hurt
