Corpse Bride

By way of relief from the current seriousness of life, my spirits are uplifted by the prospect of yet another Tim Burton film expected in 2005: Corpse Bride.

 

While I’m already looking forward to seeing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Burton’s next film sounds even more enticing. It looks as though it will be in the same style as The Nightmare Before Christmas, which is one of my favourites. I like the way that Burton seems to be building up a repertory company with his actors. Corpse Bride will feature the voices of Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham-Carter, Albert Finney, Joanna Lumley, Michael Gough, Danny Elfman and Deep Roy. And the music will be by Elfman as well.

 

The trailer is here.

 

I can’t wait.

 

Update: a good interview with Tim Burton in The Guardian today (22 July).
