Welcome to another podcast in our occasional series – Director on Director.
Writer / Director Phil Stubbs (Last Chancers) joins us again, to talk about another of his favourite directors, Tim Burton.
Join us on a journey that starts with Tim’s early days at Disney and ends with …. Tim’s recent time at Disney. This is a journey that starts with imaginative characters set in fantastical worlds and gradually, over the years devolves into corporate pleasing, sequels and soulless remakes. During our discussion we draw a line in Tim Burton’s filmography where we think things started to go stale. The journey ends on a “bit of a downer” but the masterpieces of the 80’s and 90’s are discussed in full.
A unique talent whose many films include such classics as Beetlejuice, Batman, Ed Wood and Mars Attacks.
How do you rate Mr Burton, please let us know, as always we would love to hear from you.
