His Willy Wonka ranks pretty high on the list of Johnny Depp’s 12 Weirdest Characters. The grimacing? The top hat? The Anna Wintour bob? While the character was more likely to drew comparison to Michael Jackson when Tim Burton‘s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory came out in 2005, Depp finally revealed on Ellen the source [...]
The fact that the British Film and Television Awards took place on the same day as the Grammys probably only annoys folks like us, who would really like to be giving both events our full attention. And so it goes that we basically ignored the U.K.’s Oscars, missing adorable speeches from The Artist’s Jean Dujardin [...]
See, we actually really like the idea of a Tim Burton version of Sleeping Beauty. It seems like a better story for his dark, cartoon-y style than, say, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, which may or may not have caused us to have a hallucinatory panic attack in the candy aisle at Rite Aid. Sadly, [...]
Helena Bonham Carter is gorgeous, talented, and a walking fashion disaster. But at least she knows it. When she was recently asked about what she plans to wear at the upcoming Academy Awards, Bonham Carter responded “I have no idea. Of course I want to have fun…It’s probably going to be a catastrophe. But it’s [...]
Alice in Wonderland Like candy floss, director Tim Burton‘s version of Lewis Carroll‘s fairytale is momentarily delightful, wholly un-nourishing and may leave viewers with grumbling stomachs (or retinas). Beneath the hallucinogenic imagery, however, is a surprisingly tough-minded heroine. Back in “Underland” for the first time in years, Alice (Mia Wasikowska) is charged with rescuing the [...]
Marion Cotillard had an award-related mishap in Paris today, with French culture minister Frederic Mitterand accidentally stabbing her in the chest with the pin of her “Order Of Arts And Letters” medallion, which she was awarded alongside Alice In Wonderland director Tim Burton, who will also lead the jury at this year’s Cannes Film Festival [...]
The fashion at the world premiere of Tim Burton‘s Alice in Wonderland was just as dark as his gothic interpretation of Lewis Carroll‘s classic tale. Aussie newcomer Mia Wasikowska (Alice) held her own alongside silver screen veterans Anne Hathaway (The White Queen) and Burton’s wife Helena Bonham Carter (The Red Queen). Wasikowska wore an open-backed [...]
Helena Bonham Carter brought her son Billy Ray Burton to the 250th birthday party of legendary toy store Hamley’s in London yesterday, and it looks like the kid is a chip off the old block…the block being Tim Burton, director of Sleepy Hollow, Ghost Bride and the upcoming Alice In Wonderland, and the Siouxsie Sioux-worshipping [...]
The New Year is upon us, and while resolutions and wishes are abound, we’re wondering what’s brewing in the world of cinema. Anticipation is already sky-high for the third film of The Twilight Saga and the first half of the final film of the Harry Potter series, but what else is waiting in the wings? [...]
Well played, Johnny Depp. While Twi-Hards worried whether Robert Pattinson would really be People‘s Sexiest Man Alive last night, the real winner kept his mouth shut at the Museum Of Modern Art’s Tribute To Tim Burton. Looking cool next to punk priestess Patti Smith, Depp reminded us he was playing gothic cuties like Edward Scissorhands [...]
