Last week, we unveiled the trailer for Tara Wood’s four-part docuseries about the life and beloved work of director Tim Burton. Now, we’ve gotten our hands on an Exclusive clip from the docuseries – and this one looks back at a very important moment in Burton’s life and career: the first time he met actor Johnny Depp, who he would go on to work with on Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Corpse Bride, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Alice in Wonderland, Dark Shadows, and Alice Through the Looking Glass. You can hear about their first meeting by checking out the video embedded above.

As previously mentioned, Wood’s Tim Burton docuseries marks a special occasion because it’s the first exploration of Burton’s storied career that was made with Burton’s blessing. The presentation includes exclusive interviews, unpublished artworks,...

Johnny Depp was once one of Hollywood's biggest and most versatile stars, appearing in both blockbusters and true-crime dramas. The American actor gained global superstardom for portraying the eccentric Captain Jack Sparrow in five Pirates of the Caribbean movies from 2006 to 2017, earning an Academy Award nomination for the first film, The Curse of the Black Pearl. In the following years, Depp earned additional nominations for Finding Neverland and Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

Over his career, Depp has also appeared in an array of crime dramas, including 2001's Blow, playing a real American cocaine kingpin, George Jung, who was connected to Pablo Escobar. In 2009, Depp starred in Michael Mann's Public Enemies as the notorious bank robber John Dillinger, chronicling his final years. In 2015's Black Mass, Depp played American mobster Whitey Bulger. Most recently, he starred in 2018's City of Lies as a...

When looking at Johnny Depp’s filmography, one can easily recognize that he looks like an actor who the Academy would snub multiple times. Talented, versatile, and with no desire to win the coveted trophy, Depp’s incredible performances are a testament to the fact that being the people’s champion is much more valuable than any other award.

Still, the legendary actor has been nominated thrice for the award. His most popular role, Captain Jack Sparrow, got a nod in his first appearance. However, all three nominations were with incredibly talented artists as his fellow nominees, and winning was tough. Sean Penn, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Clint Eastwood were just some of his competitors.

Middle-earth just gained two more inhabitants.

Jamie Campbell Bower and Eddie Marsan have joined the cast of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” for the Amazon Prime Video series’ upcoming third season.

Bower will be a series regular, while Marsan will appear in a recurring role. The season is currently in pre-production and will begin filming this spring at Shepperton Studios in the U.K.

Bower is perhaps best known for playing the villain Henry Creel/Vecna in Netflix’s “Stranger Things.” He also played Mick Jagger in “Urban Myths: Mick & Margaret,” Christopher Marlow in “Will,” King Arthur in “Camelot,” the voice of Skiff in “Thomas & Friends” and 11-12 in the remake of “The Prisoner” alongside Sir Ian McKellen.

He made his film debut in Tim Burton’s “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” opposite Johnny Depp, Alan Rickman and Helena Bonham Carter. He...

This is a match made in genre heaven — Jamie Campbell Bower, star of Netflix’s blockbuster supernatural drama Stranger Things, is joining one of biggest fantasy franchises of all time. Bower has been tapped as a series regular for the upcoming third season of Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Additionally, Ray Donovan alum Eddie Marsan is set to recur on the new season, which is currently in pre-production.

As usual, details about the role are being kept under wraps but I hear Bower plays Rings of Power’s biggest new cast addition, a character described as a handsome high-born knight (code name Arlen) in casting information that has been circulated around. He could be a new love interest for Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) who spent the second season facing the reality of her Season 1 love interest Halbrand’s (Charlie Vickers) true identity as arch-villain Sauron.

The Academy Awards are around the corner and several fumbles, snubs, and outrages are expected. The Oscars are known for shocking moments and snubs, with controversial nominations already being talked about and voters regretting previous decisions. However, one fumble that the Academy must not do is to ignore Johnny Depp.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star has been nominated thrice in his career but has never won the coveted trophy. He has been one of the most versatile actors in the business and the Academy has barely recognized his talents. His controversy with ex-wife Amber Heard may make him an industry or awards pariah but that would be a huge mistake.

The Oscars have a reputation for snubbing deserving actors and technicians many times.

A musical about country music star Loretta Lynn’s life is under development with Sutton Foster attached as the star.

Jeanine Tesori, a Tony Award-winning composer who worked on Fun Home, Kimberly Akimbo, Caroline, or Change, Thoroughly Modern Millie and more, is working on the show’s music production. Sam Gold, a Tony Award-winning director who worked on Fun Home with Tesori, as well as recent productions of Romeo+Juliet and An Enemy of the People, is attached as the director.

The musical, entitled Coal Miner’s Daughter, is inspired by the 1980 film and the autobiography about Lynn’s journey from rural Kentucky to becoming a country music star. The stage show will include songs from Lynn’s career, which include “I’m a Honky Tonk Girl” and “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” and extend her story beyond the film.

In 2012, Lynn had announced that Zoey Deschanel would portray her in a Broadway musical about her life.

Merle Louise, whose Broadway debut in the original cast of Gypsy launched a decades-long association with Stephen Sondheim that would include notable appearances in Company, Sweeney Todd and Into The Woods, died January 11 in New York City. She was 90.

Her death was announced by family.

Born Merle Louise Letowt on April 15, 1934, in New York City, she started her stage career in local theater companies in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, traveling back to New York for auditions. While still using Merle Letowt as her stage name, Louise landed the ensemble role of Thelma in the original 1959 Broadway production of Gypsy. She soon took on the featured role of Dainty June in the musical, both on Broadway and in the first national tour.

Though she would appear in non-Sondheim musicals on Broadway – La Cage aux Folles (1983), Kiss of the Spider Woman (1993) and, most recently, Billy Elliot (2008) – Louise, after dropping the “Letowt,” originated the role...

Johnny Depp may be cancelled in the eyes of some fans, but he’s certainly not in the eyes of pal and longtime collaborator, director Tim Burton.

The duo have worked together on such projects as ‘Edward Scissorhands,’ ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,’ and there’s possibly still a lot more in store for them to do.

Tim Burton Knows There’ll Be Another Project That Will Likely Being Him and Johnny Depp Together

The worlds of Burton and Depp are ones that have collided together multiple times and seem likely to keep doing so in the years to come.

Fresh off from filming teen goth horror ‘Wednesday,’ the iconic director sat down with IndieWire at the Marrakech International Film Festival on Saturday, Nov. 30 to talk about his projects.

During the interview, talks turned towards Depp, who has just come off from his second directorial project,...

Tim Burton may have reawakened the Ghost With the Most in the recently released sequel to his 1988 comedy-horror film “Beetlejuice,” but that didn’t seem to convince the filmmaker to revisit some of his other classics.

During a Q&a at the Marrakech International Film Festival on Saturday (via IndieWire), Burton dismissed the possibility of developing a sequel to 1990’s “Edward Scissorhands,” which starred Johnny Depp as the titular role.

“There are certain films I don’t want to make a sequel to,” Burton said. “I didn’t want to make a sequel to that because it felt like a one-off thing. I didn’t want to have a sequel for ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ because it also felt like a one-off thing. Certain things are best left on their own, and that, for me, is one of them.”

Although Burton hasn’t directed a film involving Depp since 2012’s “Dark Shadows,...

Throughout his career, Tim Burton has collaborated often with the same actors. At the top of the list is Johnny Depp, with whom he teamed up no less than eight times, and the filmmaker addressed the possibility of working together again.

Burton had a great year thanks to the popularity of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the sequel to the 1988 hit Beetlejuice. The director brought back Winona Ryder and Catherine O'Hara, and the sequel was a major critical and commercial success. Speaking to IndieWire, the filmmaker addressed the possibility of doing sequels to other popular titles from his filmography and whether he would collaborate with Johnny Depp again.

Tim Burton has addressed the prospect of reuniting with his frequent muse Johnny Depp in a new movie. The iconic director, whose debut feature was 1985's Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, has used the Pirates of the Caribbean star in many of his productions, generally playing exaggerated characters that require a great deal of makeup. The eight-movie roster of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton collaborations includes 1990's Edward Scissorhands, 2010's Alice in Wonderland, 2005's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, 1994's Ed Wood, and 2007's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, though Burton has not directed Depp since 2012's Dark Shadows.

Tim Burton recently spoke with IndieWire on the red carpet at the Marrakech International Film Festival. When discussing the prospect of working with Depp again, he stated that he does not start a project with the intention of working with any particular actor, instead using actors to fit the needs of the story.

The performance of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice shows that Tim Burton has finally recovered from the billion-dollar movie that sent his career into a tailspin. Burton is a filmmaker who came to prominence in the mid-1980s with his debut feature Pee-wee's BIg Adventure and is best known for his gleefully macabre design sensibility that is showcased in titles such as 1988's Beetlejuice, 1990's Edward Scissorhands, and 2007's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. In his career so far, he has been nominated for two Oscars. Both were for Best Animated Feature, for 2005's Corpse Bride and 2012's Frankenweenie.

Burton's most recent project is Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the legacy sequel to his horror-comedy hit, which sees him re-teaming with Wednesday's Jenna Ortega as well as legacy stars Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O'Hara, all reprising their roles from the original movie.

The Eddie Murphy-led Norbit, which was slammed by critics, finds a successful second chance on streaming 17 years later. Starring Murphy in several roles and Thandiwe Newton, the movie followed the titular mild-mannered man scheming to end up with his childhood sweetheart Kate (Newton) while being married to Rasputia. Originally released in 2007, Norbit opened to negative reviews from critics, receiving a dismal 9% on Rotten Tomatoes, and a muted response from audiences, but made a respectable $159 million against its $60 million budget and garnered an Oscar nomination for Best Achievement in Makeup.

Now streaming on Prime Video, Norbit has found new life as its No. 7 on the streamers Top 10 list of movies in the US at the time of writing. Leading the list is the Mark Wahlberg-led sci-fi thriller Infinite and followed by the Spanish zombie thriller Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End at No. 2, Kate Beckinsale's Canary Black at No.

Oscar-winning actor Catherine Zeta-Jones recalls meeting “Chicago” costume designer Colleen Atwood in her workshop before the musical began filming.

“It was this explosion of costume and dancing fishnet tights hanging from every hook,” says Zeta-Jones. “I remember meeting her for the first time and looking at her designs, giddy with anticipation, and looking at her vision and just going ‘Wow! This is amazing.’”

Zeta-Jones had an instant respect and admiration for Atwood and her craft. She’s not the only one. Directors Rob Marshall and Tim Burton have her on speed dial as one of their first go-to department heads and collaborators when starting their new films. I needed that same group from ‘Chicago’ because we speak the same language and shorthand at this point,” Marshall says. He used Atwood on Disney’s 2023 live action “The Little Mermaid.”

Atwood is set to be honored for her work at the Scad...

As is the case with most below-the-line Oscar categories, bigger equals better when it comes to Best Production Design. The more lavish the sets, the more accurate the period detail, the more extravagant the designs, the more likely your film will win an Academy Award. Formerly known as Best Art Direction/Set Decoration, this prize goes to the production designer and set decorator, leaving the poor art directors on the outside looking in; perhaps that accounts for the title change. (Scroll down for the most up-to-date 2025 Oscar predictions for Best Production Design.)

Like Best Costume Design, this award rarely corresponds with Best Picture. Before “The Shape of Water” prevailed in both categories in 2018, the last to line-up was “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” in 2004. Often, the winner of this race hasn’t even been nominated for the top prize, as was the case with “Memoirs of a Geisha...

My brother Paul McWilliams, who has died aged 43 of a brain tumour, was a visual effects specialist who worked on films including Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007), Sherlock Holmes (2009) and two of the Harry Potter movies (2007 and 2011). He was also part of the team that won an Oscar for best visual effects for Inception (2010).

For a period, however, Paul had another career working with children as a Pe teacher at inner London primary schools. More recently he volunteered for Sports for Hope and Independence in Bangladesh, and his work with that charity led him to set up his own, Sports for Joy, earlier this year, focusing on using sport to work with disadvantaged communities in rural Bangladesh.

Transformers One has come in below expectations, allowing Beetlejuice Beetlejuice to hold on to the top spot at the domestic box office for the third week in a row.

Analysts predicted $30 million to $40 million debut for Paramount's animated prequel, which only ended up taking in $25 million from 3,978 venues. The movie - which had a reported budget of $75 million - also made $14 million internationally, for a global total of $39 million.

Tim Burton's long-awaited sequel added $26 million from 4,172 theaters, bringing its domestic total to $225 million, and $329.7 million worldwide.

Transformers One received positive reviews (89% on Rotten Tomatoes) and strong audience scores, so the belief is that ticket sales could rebound over the next few weeks.

Tim Burton already has a follow-up movie to Beetlejuice Beetlejuice in the works, though his next film now has a bigger challenge to succeed after the enthusiastic response to his 2024 horror-comedy. While Burton had already begun his exciting comeback with Wednesday season 1 on TV, Beetlejuice 2 is the gothic fantasy horror auteurs big cinematic return after the mixed reviews and box office disappointment of 2019s Dumbo. His sequel to the 1988 horror movie Beetlejuice officially proves that classic Burton is back, with Beetlejuice 2s stellar reviews and box office performance providing his biggest hit in over a decade.

Even before his hit 2024 movie was released in theaters, it was announced that Tim Burton was attached to direct the upcoming remake of 1958s Attack of the 50 Foot Woman. The classic sci-fi horror movie is right up Burtons alley, harking back to his dabbling in the genre with Mars Attacks! in 1996 and...

Black Mass features some cast members giving fantastic but incredibly eerie performances. The Whitey Bulger biography is not Johnny Depp's most talked-about role, but it is perhaps one of his most chilling. The actor is better known for parts like Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland, or Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean, which easily overtake Black Mass in popularity, but his part is nonetheless worth looking at.

Whitey Bulger was an Irish-American mobster in South Boston who became one of the most notorious criminals in his area's history. Black Mass tells his true story, specifically chronicling the time wherein Bulger acted as an FBI informant in order to take down a Mafia family that was threatening him. Black Mass was directed by Scott Cooper and based on the book by Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill. It' screenplay...

When looking back at the various actors that Tim Burton has worked with repeatedly throughout his career, the one that's the most rewarding to revisit is Helena Bonham Carter. Across seven films, she's had arguably the widest range of characters in Burton's unofficial company. These roles have allowed the actor to go far beyond the characters she's most renowned for, like Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter franchise and Princess Margaret in The Crown. Going from sweet and nurturing to curious and introspective to desperate and beguiled, Carter has been deployed from a number of different angles, yet all her appearances are unified by a hunger for a life that's free of restraint, be it emotional or societal. Of her Burton catalog, it's in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, as meat-pie maker Mrs. Lovett, that she got her most multidimensional role, and it resulted in the...

Often celebrated for her eccentric roles and gothic beauty, Helena Bonham Carter’s life took a dramatic turn after her 13-year relationship with director Tim Burton ended in 2014. In a candid interview, the actress thus revealed the emotional toll of the breakup, comparing their separation to “death”.

However, considering Helena Bonham Carter’s dating history, this tale of heartbreak following her separation from Tim Burton seems to be far from a simple tragedy. Because, a closer look at Carter’s past reveals a dark secret, where she herself was once accountable for shattering a real-life Harry Potter couple’s marriage.

Helena Bonham Carter’s Heartbreaking Separation from Tim Burton

Helena Bonham Carter, known for her captivating roles, eccentric charm, and larger-than-life persona, had bared her soul about the devastating split from Tim Burton, her partner of 13 years. In the 2016 issue of Harper’s Bazaar,...

Helena Bonham Carter has collaborated with several actors and filmmakers in her exceptional career. However, one of her most frequent collaborations has been with her ex, Tim Burton. Having worked together in several films and features, one of their most iconic films is Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

Starring Burton’s best friend Johnny Depp as the male lead, the film remains one of the most celebrated musicals of the 21st century. However, before Carter signed up for the film, she was hesitant for she did not want fans to accuse her of bagging the film because of her romance with Burton.

This article contains spoilers for "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice."

This week marked the return not only of Michael Keaton into the eponymous role of Beetlejuice in the long-awaited sequel "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" (our review here), but the return of Tim Burton to the big screen. Though it's only been five-plus years since his last feature film — the unmemorable and unnecessary "Dumbo" remake for Walt Disney Pictures — it feels like it's been a lot longer since Burton had room to flex his unique visual muscles and deliver a distinctive film full of flair. But while Burton's movies are perhaps best known for their flights of fancy and dark whimsy, his filmography is also replete with memorable and rightfully beloved performances from some excellent actors, including Keaton. With "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" about to dominate at the box office and boasting an impressive ensemble including some new actors, let's rank the 11 best performances in Tim Burton's films.

Two-time Oscar nominee Tim Burton was honored with the 2,788th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday, September 3, just days before the director’s film “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” hits theaters. His star is located at 6600 Hollywood Boulevard, appropriately in front of Hollywood Toys & Costumes. Burton received his star in the category of Motion Pictures. Joining emcee Tony Potts were actors Winona Ryder and Michael Keaton. Guests in attendance included actors Danny DeVito, Monica Bellucci and Deep Roy, as well as costume designer Colleen Atwood. Watch Burton’s star ceremony below (beginning at 15:35 mark).

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce administers the legendary Hollywood Walk of Fame for the City of Los Angeles and has hosted the globally iconic star ceremonies for decades. Millions of people from around the world have visited this cultural landmark since the 1960s.

“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” costume designer Colleen Atwood will be honored with Variety’s Creative Impact in Costume Design award at the Scad Savannah Film Festival.

Atwood, who has worked on “Chicago,” “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” and “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” has worked on over 80 films and has won four Academy Awards for her work in costume design.

“Scad is thrilled to continue its partnership with Variety in presenting this year’s Creative Impact Award to the legendary costume designer Colleen Atwood,” said Christina Routhier, Executive Director of the Scad Savannah Film Festival. “Colleen Atwood’s unparalleled creativity and meticulous craftsmanship have left an indelible mark on moviemaking, with her recent iconic projects including ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,’ ‘Masters of the Air,’ and ‘Wednesday.’ Her work exemplifies the transformative power of costume design in storytelling, which will provide our students—particularly those in film and television, production design, and fashion degree programs...

Tim Burton's Beetlejuice sequel arrives in theaters next month, and Warner Bros. has released the first two clips from the movie online.

The first drops us in on a family reunion between Delia Deetz (Catherine O'Hara), daughter Lydia (Winona Ryder) and her kid Astrid (Jenna Ortega), who have returned to Winter River after the death of patriarch Charles (played by Jeffrey Jones in the original movie).

The next clip spotlights the Ghost with the Most himself (Michael Keaton), who is clearly still carrying a torch for Lydia - who was only 17 when they met.

This has always been one of the creepier plot points in the first movie, but anyone under the assumption that the lecherous Bio-Exorcist will be "evolving" with the times might be in for a bit of a shock.

"My whole career, there have always been people, like, 'This is too dark, which I never saw my films as dark,...

In his 40-year career, Tim Burton has carved out a niche for himself making quirky, eccentric films that are often box office bonanzas. Let’s take a look back at all 19 of his films, ranked from worst to best, in our photo gallery.

Burton began his career as an animator for Walt Disney Studios before making the short films “Vincent” (1982) and “Frankenweenie” (1984). He directed his first feature when he was just 26 years old: “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure” (1985). Burton followed that success with the macabre comedy “Beetlejuice” (1988) before entering the world of blockbusters with the dark, ominous superhero adventure “Batman” (1989).

From the beginning, Burton displayed a talent for crafting visually stunning worlds unlike any seen before. Four of his films, in fact — “Batman,” “Sleepy Hollow,” “Sweeney Todd,” and “Alice in Wonderland” — have won Oscars for their art direction.

Burton often returned to his animation roots, first as a producer on “The Nightmare Before Christmas...

Finally, fashion for the strange and unusual.

Warner Bros. is pulling out all the stops for the release of their “Beetlejuice” sequel, “Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice,” which will open at the Venice film festival in August.

The follow-up film, starring Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Jenna Ortega, and Catherine O’Hara, reunites the old cast with a couple of new faces, including Willem Dafoe, Justin Theroux and Monica Bellucci. However, we’re most excited about the addition of four-time Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood, the current curator of Burton’s beloved whimsical goth look. Channeling the looks from the original costume designer on the 1988 film created by Aggie Guerard Rodgers Burton, Atwood (who most recently was spotted painting the stripes on the “Wednesday” cast’s school uniforms) will take over the costuming mantle for “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.” But before we can peep her newly updated ghostly styles for the recently deceased, she’s also launching...

Did you know that "Beetlejuice" is rated PG? One can only fathom what demonic force Tim Burton struck a bargain with to secure that rating for his beloved 1988 horror-comedy. In case you had forgotten, this is a movie in which Michael Keaton's Ghost With the Most drops one of the all-time greatest f-bombs before honking his d**k, gleefully mimes jerking off, and loiters around a supernatural strip club titled "Dante's Inferno Room." Meanwhile, Geena Davis rips her own face off and holds Alec Baldwin's bloodied, decapitated head at one point. This was also a few years out from the "stealth horror" of "Gremlins" and "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" leading to the creation of the PG-13, which makes it that much more impressive just how many gnarly creatures and naughty moments Burton was able to sneak by the infamously uptight, conservative ratings board.

36 years later,...

Watch the New Trailer for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice: "Beetlejuice is back! Oscar-nominated, singular creative visionary Tim Burton and Oscar nominee and star Michael Keaton reunite for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the long-awaited sequel to Burton’s award-winning Beetlejuice.

After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia's life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid, discovers the mysterious model of the town in the attic and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened.

One of the most enigmatic actors out there, Johnny Depp had a somewhat modest start as a regular on the TV series “21 Jump Street,” Depp has put together a remarkably diverse collection of film roles, most of which have one thing in common — he is drawn to playing outcasts or people who are on the edges of society who go their own way — and going his own way is certainly something that’s been a hallmark of this much-awarded actor’s career.

In Depp’s almost four-decade (beginning with 1984’s “A Nightmare on Elm Street”), he has earned a remarkable 10 Golden Globe Award nominations, winning the Best Actor prize for the 2007 musical “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.” That film also garnered Depp his third Academy Award nomination (along with 2003’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” and 2004’s “Finding Neverland”).

However, there are plenty of other roles that the actor would no doubt excel at due to his ability to convey an imposing presence.

Jamie Campbell Bower has played an array of larger-than-life roles that have helped him rise to prominence and make him ideal for a villain for either the Marvel Cinematic Universe or the new DC Universe. The actor's career includes roles in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, The Twilight Saga, and The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, but it was Stranger Things season 4, where he played Henry Creel/Vecna, that helped him achieve stardom. In this series, Bower demonstrated an ability to create a truly imposing presence,...

“The Great Lillian Hall” reunites three “American Horror Story” actresses to deliver a tour de force in TV movies. Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, and Lily Rabe all star in this HBO TV Movie, directed by Michael Cristofer, that follows the careers of fictional Broadway actress Lillian Hall.

It’s Lange who plays Lillian and the veteran actress has turned in another masterclass in acting. She has always been a commanding screen presence and that doesn’t change here as she depicts a legendary actress as a triumph on stage but a nervous wreck in rehearsals while she battles with early dementia. It’s always a treat watching icons play icons (Lange did this again in “Feud: Bette and Joan”) and while Lillian is fictional, the impact is no less felt. Critics agree, this could be Lange’s greatest performance yet.

Caryn James (The Hollywood Reporter) observed: “Jessica Lange is perfection...

Johnny Depp is undoubtedly one of Hollywood’s most transformative actors who is not afraid to experiment with his roles. The actor has played some of the wildest, unique, and wacky characters that audiences loved, cementing his status as a bankable movie star. His collaborations with director Tim Burton have resulted in some of the finest works of his career.

Johnny Depp became a teen idol starring in the hit series 21 Jump Street | Fox

One of Depp’s best films is his first collaboration with Burton in 1990’s Edward Scissorhands. The film and Depp’s titular role made him a household name. However, he wasn’t the first choice for the role as many A-list stars were considered for it initially. Depp, being from the TV world, never thought he would get the part and almost didn’t go for a meeting with Burton.

Johnny Depp’s Edward Scissorhands...

Johnny Depp has proven his acting skills over the years, showing that he is a true chameleon on the screen. However, Depp also wanted to cancel a meeting for what turned out to be his breakout role.

In footage from Tara Wood's upcoming untitled documentary about director Tim Burton, it was revealed that Johnny Depp wanted to cancel a meeting for 1990's Edward Scissorhands, People reports. The film, where Depp plays the titular character, turned out to be his breakout role on the big screen, and the first time he collaborated with Burton. Later, the two became a magical pairing at the box office. It's also quoted as one of Johnny Depp's best roles.

Johnny Depp almost walked away from even auditioning for “Edward Scissorhands” with Hollywood heavyweights Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, and even Michael Jackson vying for the lead role.

In the upcoming untitled Tim Burton docuseries, which debuted at Tribeca 2024, Depp says he felt “pigeonholed” as a teen star from his “21 Jump Street” fame, People magazine wrote. The television series ran from 1987 to 1990, and Depp admitted he “was probably doing my best for probably the last two years to get fired” from the show.

It wasn’t until Depp read Burton and Caroline Thompson’s script for “Edward Scissorhands” that he felt connect to a role.

Depp said the screenplay “passed through everything, anything, solid and went to the very core of whatever I am. The writing was beautiful. The character was beautiful. What I suppose [attracted] me emotionally was that Edward was me. It’s exactly what I should be doing.

Johnny Depp reveals in Tara Wood’s still-untitled documentary on Tim Burton (via People) that Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks and Michael Jackson were all in contention for the iconic role of Edward Scissorhands in Burton’s 1990 movie of the same name. Cruise “was not far away from actually playing Edward Scissorhands — true story,” Depp says. With so many A-listers up for the part, he nearly rejected the chance to audition despite desperately wanting the role.

At this point in Depp’s career, he was feeling “pigeonholed” by the success of being a teen idol thanks to his series regular role on “21 Jump Street.” Part of the reason why he signed up for John Waters’ 1990 comedy movie “Cry-Baby” was because he had to “fight” against his teen heartthrob persona and Waters’ film allowed him to skewer it, which “was the first solid step in the direction I wanted to go.

Despite his imposter syndrome, Johnny Depp beat out some of the biggest names in film (and music) for his breakout role.

The Academy Award nominee revealed he beat out the likes of Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and even Michael Jackson for his eponymous role in Tim Burton’s 1990 gothic fantasy Edward Scissorhands.

He told director Tara Wood that Cruise “was not far away from actually playing Edward Scissorhands — true story” as he reflected on the film for an untitled docuseries about Burton, according to People.

Depp ultimately landed the role of the loving outcast, who was created by a scientist (Vincent Price) with scissors in place of his hands. When his creator dies, a local woman (Dianne Wiest) takes Edward into her suburban home, where he falls in love with her daughter (Winona Ryder) and faces ostracism from the townspeople.

The actor said Burton and Caroline Thompson’s script “passed through everything,...

The '90s were a great time to be a young horror-loving kid. There were several gateway horror shows and movies that made genre fans out of an entire generation, preparing kids for the horrors of the real world within the safe confines of a television set. It was a time of "Goosebumps" and of "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark," a time of "Aaahh!!! Real Monsters" and "Tales from the Cryptkeeper." Then there was "Courage the Cowardly Dog."

Though "Real Monsters" featured, well, monsters, it was still definitely a comedic show. "Courage the Cowardly Dog," though, even when it wasn't technically scary, it was always eerie and disturbing. The cartoon follows the eponymous dog Courage, who lives with an elderly couple in a farm in the middle of Nowhere, Kansas. They are constantly thrown into weird, often spooky situations. The series started with a pilot short titled "The Chicken from Outer Space,...

Two of Britain’s biggest stars won top honors at the BAFTA TV Awards on Sunday: Timothy Spall finally prevailed in the Best Actor race after three previous bids while Sarah Lancashire collected a bookend Best Actress award for the third and final season of “Happy Valley”; she’d won for season 2 back in 2017 and has a supporting prize for “Last Tango in Halifax” as well.

Backstage, Spall readily admitted, “I’m over the moon about this. I just am. So often the bridesmaid, today I catch the bouquet.” He then pondered the importance and meaning of awards ceremonies. “When you keep losing them, you think they’re a load of bollocks. And then you win and you think well, actually… Really, I suppose, in a way, they are both — they’re magnificent and they are an in-house thing. But it’s a profession — a dodgy, shaky, insecure profession that occasionally celebrates itself,...

The great Broadway Crunch of Spring 2024, when 18 new productions opened between mid-March and late April – 19 if you count the commercial transfer of Appropriate – seems to be showing early signs of the inevitable shake-out, with one show (Lempicka) closing soon and a few others already playing to houses with attendance at 80% of capacity or less.

For the week ending May 5 – the first full week after the April 30 Tony nominations announcement – while overall box office was down about 7% for all shows and attendance off about 6% from the previous week, a good number of the newcomers were filling more than 90% of their seats. Some much more.

Selling out were An Enemy of the People, which grossed $1,048,286; Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club, grossing $1,920,289 and not far off from the August Wilson Theatre’s house record set by the recent Funny Girl; and Hell’s Kitchen, $1,270,519.

Jonathan Bailey was so blown away by “Heartstopper” that he just knew he had to be on the show.

“Like so many people, I watched the first [season] and thought it was one of the biggest, most beautiful gifts to so many people, and I wish I had that growing up,” the “Fellow Travelers” and “Bridgerton” star told me at the Met Gala Monday night.

It was announced in late April that Bailey will make a cameo appearance as Jack Maddox, an Instagram-famous classicist and celebrity crush of Charlie (Joe Locke). “I had a mutual friend who knows [executive producer Patrick Walters] and I just said, ‘If there’s anything I could do to help and be a part of that story,’” Bailey recalled.

He said that the series, based on Alice Oseman’s graphic novel series of the same name, “really has changed the way people could grow and communicate around who they are.
