Tim Burton Documentary Series, Featuring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Jenna Ortega, Winona Ryder & More, Heads To Cannes Market
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Filmmaker Tim Burton, one of the most original voices in Hollywood history, is the subject of a four-part documentary series heading to the Cannes Market.
Tara Wood directed the Untitled Tim Burton Documentary, which features many of Burton’s most important cinematic collaborators including Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Jenna Ortega, composer Danny Elfman, Christopher Walken, Danny DeVito, Mia Wasikowska, and Christoph Waltz.
Wood Entertainment is handling sales at Cannes. The series promises “an otherworldly, dream journey into the mind” of the man behind Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Batman, Batman Returns, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, the Netflix series Wednesday, and many other indelible projects. “Tim continues to build his aesthetic, the Burton-esque style, derived from a wealth of art, cinematic, and literary genres,” notes a release about the series. “The documentary explores how Burton brings his vision to life through his own joyous idiosyncrasy and his ability to meld the ominous and the frightful with a sense of whimsy.
