Tim Burton is one of the great modern-day visionaries of cinema, a director who has fabricated his own deliciously nightmarish universe in movies as extraordinary as Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Mars Attacks! and The Nightmare before Christmas - not to mention his twisted takes on the tales of Batman, Sleepy Hollow and Planet of the Apes. Following the release of his re-imagining of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with long-time comrade Johnny Depp (who also provides a new foreword here), this updated and fully illustrated new edition of the definitive Burton interview book casts light on Burton's Burbank childhood, his early work at Disney, the recurrent themes and stunning designs of his movies, and the creative obsessions that fuel them.

From breathtaking stop-action animation to bittersweet modern fairy tales, filmmaker Tim Burton has become known for his unique visual brilliance -- witty and macabre at once. Now he gives birth to a cast of gruesomely sympathetic children -- misunderstood outcasts who struggle to find love and belonging in their cruel, cruel worlds. His lovingly lurid illustrations evoke both the sweetness and the tragedy of these dark yet simple beings -- hopeful, hapless heroes who appeal to the ugly outsider in all of us, and let us laugh at a world we have long left behind (mostly anyway).

«Aunque he surgido del sistema de estudios, la verdad es que no tengo esa sensación, ni creo que la tenga la gente de los estudios; a veces me miran con cara como de preocupación, preocupación por qué es lo que quiero hacer. Pero también hay una enorme fuerza en eso, está muy bien trabajar dentro de ese sistema y luego acercarte a las cosas como quieres. Tiene una especie de encanto perverso». Tim Burton "Nunca he visto a nadie tan inadaptado adaptarse tan bien. A su manera." Johnny Depp Creador de la gótica y oscura serie Batman, del cuento urbano-fantástico Eduardo Manostijeras, o de la biografía del peor director de la historia del cine Ed Wood, Tim Burton es hoy por hoy una de las pocas personalidades de Hollywood que parece realizar el viejo sueño de la alianza entre arte e industria. La dualidad, la realidad que se encuentra bajo las máscaras, la necesidad de recomponerse, el «costurón» de Catwoman, el rechazo de la literalidad y el gusto por dar la vuelta a los estereotipos son algunos de los temas tratados en las conversaciones recogidas en esta edición totalmente actualizada, con nuevas entrevistas, fotografías y dibujos originales. Incluye sus dos últimas películas: Sweeney Todd y Alicia en el Páis de las Maravillas.

Most Tim Burton films are huge box-office successes, and several are already classics. The director's mysterious and eccentric public persona attracts a lot of attention, while the films themselves have been somewhat overlooked. Here, Alison McMahan redresses this imbalance through a close analysis of Burton's key films () and their industrial context. She argues that Burton has been a crucial figure behind many of the transformations taking place in horror, fantasy, and sci-fi films over the last two decades, and demonstrates how his own work draws on a huge range of artistic influences: the films of George Melies, surrealism, installation art, computer games, and many more. The Films of Tim Burton is the most in-depth analysis so far of the work of this unusual filmmaker - a director who has shown repeatedly that it is possible to reject mainstream Hollywood contentions while maintaining critical popularrity and commercial success.
