Tim Burton: Johnny Depp
built 657 days ago
Burton only produced that film, but here he codirects, too, the tale of an arranged marriage between Victor Van Dort and Victoria Everglot, whose fey voices belong to Johnny Depp and Emily Watson. Victor's family is tacky new money. Victoria is money so ancient it appears to have died of old age. The Everglots need the union in order to keep their upper crusty lifestyle on life support. Somewhere in the afterlife E.M. Forster is having a chuckle.

In 2005, Burton directed back to back movies for the first time. His first project was another movie based on a novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Johnny Depp played the lead role of Willy Wonka, and the film was one of the most successful blockbusters of 2005. It was followed two months later by the release of the stop motion animated film, Corpse Bride. Both films generally received good reviews, and Corpse Bride was even nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Feature (it lost to Wallace and Gromit).

In 2006 Burton began early work on the film Believe It or Not. By June, Burton announced that he would be postponing his work on this film to instead concentrate on the film adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. This would become yet another collaboration with Johnny Depp, who signed on to play the murderous barber. By June 19, 2007 Burton announced that he was withdrawing completely from the Believe It or Not film.

TIM Burton has been told to tone down the gore in the screen version of "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," starring Johnny Depp. The suits at Warner Bros. "became a tad squeamish when they viewed grisly footage of blood splashing across the set as Depp slits the throats of his customers," London's Daily Mail reports.
