- Summary:
- Tim Burton is one of the most respected and commercially successful American filmmakers currently working. Across nine full-length feature films in seventeen years he has demonstrated astounding versatility without sacrificing the thematic and stylistic unity of his work. From the box office successes of Batman and Sleepy Hollow to the smaller, more personal Ed Wood, Burton's consistently outstanding work has been defined by a unique, personal stamp that marks him out as one of contemporary cinema's true visionaries. This indispensable guide examines Burton's directorial career, from his CalArts shorts to the recent blockbuster Planet of the Apes, as well as side projects such as The Nightmare Before Christmas and his animated Internet series Stainboy. Featuring a wealth of old and new interviews with key figures, fresh and contemporary global criticism and the first-ever look at Burton's forgotten surfing masterpiece, Luau, this is the essential reference guide for both Burton's most devoted fans and anyone interested in the creation of unorthodox mainstream cinema.
