The Estate Sale: What Really Happened
From the Pasadena Star:
One actress's garbage is another man's treasure.
"Geoff, 36, said he recognized some items from Burton movies "Mars Attacks!' and "Sleepy Hollow,' but Hollywood items were mostly few and far between."

Edward Scissorhands Ballet
Matthew Bourne is developing Edward Scissorhands into a ballet to debut this year. Here is an excerpt from an article in which he talks about it(from villagevoice.com):
"I put the idea to do [Scissorhands] onstage to [composer] Danny Elfman first," Bourne continues, "and then to Tim. I was quite open-minded toward a musical, but they wanted it like the other pieces. They were excited by the prospect of non-verbal theater. It came from them, really. We've written the scenario for this version. It's quite different from the 1990 film. Danny's written some more music and it's starting to be designed. We hope to go into rehearsal by September. We're quite far down the road."

Update: Tim Burton Estate Sale
via email from timburton.com
Official Word from Tim...
"It recently came to my attention that a warehouse sale, claiming to include "previously -owned" items of mine, is scheduled to take place. Allegedly, these items include props, memorabilia and costumes from various films I have directed, as well as some drawings of mine that were private gifts--never meant for public display or purchase. Since I have not been contacted by the sellers, it is important to note that I can in no way vouch for the authenticity of these items. I am completely against the selling of personal items in such a public way."
So if anyone was planning to go and possibly buy something, the items may or may not be authentic.
