OK, seems like no one has started a thread on this yet.
Last night, the first trailer for the upcoming Tim Burton film was released. It looks spectacular. It seems like everytime there is 'big' in the title, Burton conjures up (at least partially) realistic landscapes.
Are you referring to 'Big Fish'? That's the only other 'big' I can recall in his filmography.
I like a lot of Burton's films, but the subject of this one doesn't interest me so much. I haven't bought (or heard) an Elfman score since 'Alice In Wonderland', so I'll be interested in hearing this one.
Thor. Edit your post. Big Fish being mentioned in the same sentence as Eastenders is making me vom up a bit.
Ha, ha....really?
The funny thing is that I saw the EASTENDERS similarity in the film before I read that Burton was in fact a fan of the show! Then it all made sense. There's a kind of gritty social realism in those scenes.
Of course, BIG EYES is realistic in a different way. This is pastiche of 50s and 60s colours and designs and as such it may have more in common with something like MAD MEN.
Looking forward to Elfman's score. I liked all of Burton's movies from 1985-1999, and then have only cared for two Burton movies in the past 15 years (Big Fish and Sweeney Todd), so I can't say with any certainty that I'll enjoy this, but I'll give it a try.
On Facebook, Richard Kraft said that Interscope Records (which Lana Del Rey is affiliated with) is doing the soundtrack for this, but he did not elaborate further.
I love Lana Del Rey so buying this one will likely be killing two birds with one stone! I saw the trailer and the movie doesn't look particularly interesting, but I'm willing to be surprised.
