The Corpse Bride - Tim Burton's other new movie
I was reading about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and came upon this film, which I had no idea was even in production. The Corpse Bride, the new stop animation movie by Tim Burton (he's co directing) with Johnny Depp voicing the lead.
Well, what can I say, I know close to nothing about it but I can't wait for this. Nightmare Before Christmas is just one of my favorite aniamted flicks, so another Tim Burton stop motion film is something I'd love to see. Sure, henry Selick directed Nightmare, but it was very much a Burton enterprise, and this film also still has the same writer as that film Caronline Thompson.
Anyway, here's some info on the flick. i haven't seen this discussed on here (I searched) but heck now I can't wait for it. Also hoping for a more old school type Elfman score, more thematic then the underscore he seems to do these days. Who knows. But two Burton flicks in one year...I can't argue with that.

Here's a picture of the bride.

Anyway, anybody have any other new information on this movie? It's slated for an October 05 release.

I love The Nightmare Before Christmas, so, I'm excited for this one quite a bit. I love Depp and Burton together, and I'm also quite excited about Charlie and Chocolate Factory.

I wonder if Henry Selick is doing anything with this film at all. It'll be interesting to see, cause Burton opted out of directing nightmare, so I wonder what he'll bring to the table as director.

Do I even have to address how excited I am for this and how much I'm looking forward to this?

With the exception of Edward Scissorhands in 90, his directing career took a big dumpage as far as I'm concerned starting with Batman in 89. I've been waiting 15 years for him to come back.

That pic looks great. I love it, this and Chocolate Factory look like Burton doing movies that are more...well, Burton. Hated POTA, Big Fish was pretty decent but I prefer him doing oddball characters.
Nonetheless, love the look. I can't wait, perhaps one of my most anticipated of the year.

He's always been in touch with his style. Planet of the apes may have sucked, but it had burton written all over it. The story was just lacking. Big Fish also had his style. Infact you can always tell what a burton movie is by having it on for 3 minutes. Some just aren't very good stories to tell.
