According to
Slate.com, Burton's film, starring Jim Carrey as Robert Ripley, has been postponed due to script problems and the escalating budget. This is disappointing if it's true, but the same story says that Burton has been switched to directing the often-rumoured Sweeney Todd instead. So either way it seems like we'll have at least one Burton film to look forward to in the near future.
Damn! I wish we all could get some type of commitment to a movie from Burton. He keeps moving from "Believe It or Not" and "Sweeny Todd", I wish that he would make up his mind and stick to it! But in the end, he will make the correct choice.
ReplyDeleteI saw on Tim's profile on IMDB, two weeks ago, Sweeney Todd under his director credits. Then three or four days later it got taken off. Definitely something to think about.
ReplyDeleteMost likely Tim will not do the musical,Danny Elfmen will.Tim and Danny is real close friends and they have worked on so meny movies together,from what I gather...Tim and Danny have been friends for a long time.And if they say postponed most likely they just mean that they will do Believe It or Not,but it will just take longer than what expected.Who really knows maby he will do both.!?

ReplyDeleteThat article doesn't say that it won't be a musical (and Variety says it will be a musical).
ReplyDeleteDanny WONT be doing it..
ReplyDeleteIf its going to happen, and if its a musical they will use the score and songs originally written for it. the ones used in its recent Broadway production.. I'm sure.
Believe it or not having script issue? well considering it was done by the couple who did Ed wood I'm supirsed.... makes you wonder what Burton's after with this. Mind you budget issues to.. if his not careful it will be another superman or pota situation.. maybe it good to put it back and do Tood now.
I'd much rather see him do Believe It or Not personally. Just for the sole reason that I looooooove Robert Ripley...what better way to waste your time then look at a museum of people with three legs?
ReplyDeletePlus, i hate musicals. And even the fact that, like some of you said, it prolly wont be a musical makes it even worse. A story originally written as a musical isn't really a story once you take the music outta it.
Bad news here mixed with some great news. The bad news is, obviously, the incredibly huge disappointment in the postponing of Believe it or Not. Hopefully this'll work out for the best, though, and will give them more time to sort things out.
ReplyDeleteThe good news about that project is that it shows that Jim Carrey is seeing eye to eye with Burton's vision, as the two are fighting together over certain artistic liberties they want to make in the film.
And of course, the great news is that Burton will be directing a movie that, in my opinion, is tailor made for him. A dark musical about a barber who slices people's throats. And, obviously, any film directed by Burton and starring our favourite Burton regular, Johnny Depp. Hopefully this'll get released in the summer of 2007 and we'll have quite the movie to look forward to! :D
Personally I'd prefer to see Burton take on Sweeny Todd. I wouldn't mind whether it were a musical or not, although it would be pretty interesting if he makes a film out of the broadway, I think this story would be absolutely perfect for Tim!
ReplyDeleteBesides, I wasn't too fussed in seeing him work with Jim Carrey...
Love Musicals and love Tim Burton so I'm really excited for Sweeny Todd.
ReplyDeleteokay well, even if something's postponed, it doesn't mean it's never coming out. so chill out, everything he does is fantastically amazing no matter what.
ReplyDeleteand i personally don't love jim carrey all the time, but as Ripley he would be very quirky and cool, and tim has worked with jim in Batman, so if you think they don't work well together you should see that and it might change your mind.
and johnny is the best, so who wouldn't be excited for sweeney todd? let's all relax and enjoy the amazing geniuses.
:)
i wont to see both.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not in particuler..i to remember visiting the musicale and such.
And Todd sounds interesting..musical or not.. doesn't matter either way.. (be ideal if Danny does write songs)
However i can not see the Burton/Todd connection.. yet i mean its not a story you would think 'Tim Burton material'
A Musical gore fest.. it should very well be.. cutting peoples throats, putting them into pies, singing and danceing..lol weird.
I dunno, Sweeny Todd would be pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteI thought Tim hated musicals....
ReplyDeleteI hope it's not a musical though, the plot sounds like Tim... but a musical just doen't sound like his type of thing.
To burtonfan9385: You can never trust IMDb, especially when nobody's even really sure exactly what the status is, what project Tim is working on and which one he isn't. Hopefully it'll all be sorted out eventually. I wouldn't worry about it.
ReplyDeleteEXCUSE ME, Corpse Bride and Nightmare Before Christmas were musicals? How can you say Tim hates musicals with a straight face!?!??!
ReplyDeleteThis is anything but lame! I want Sweeney!
ReplyDeletewow...it never even crossed my mind that TNBC and corpse bride were musicals..
ReplyDeletenerrr on my part...
i guess im not really a fan of live action musicals...breaking into song and coordinated dancing is such a stretch from real life that it ruins the story line for me
but im sure whichever Tim decides to do it will be fantastic *fangirl scream*
According to Wikipedia, Believe It or Not will be released in 2009.
ReplyDeleteWikipedia is dumb. They don't know.
ReplyDeleteWikipedia isn't dumb...the random people that screw with the information are dumb. Wiki and Imbd are highly illcredible due to people able to post information freely without the facts being checked. The truth is, we sadly won't know jack untill it's been announced by a publicist or a concreat source.
ReplyDeleteWell, IMDB knows a lot. Not the boards, but the actual website... They put Sweeney Todd on the Tim Burton page, so I'm hoping...
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of Tim directing Sweeney Todd, but Depp?
ReplyDeleteI just want something Tim Burton to look forward to...I think Johnny Depp would be great in Sweeny Todd as he can be strange and creepy at times like in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, i think he could bring that kind of character into this film,,, Believe it or Not will be good i think whenever it is released..one thing for sure... I CAN'T WAIT WHATEVER COMES OUT FIRST!!
ReplyDeleteWho wants a prune/olive smoothie?!
ReplyDeleteI have an interesting fact for you guys... You know that computer animated film executive produced by Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg, Monster House? It comes out July 21, and looks like it could've been one of Tim's movies. It has his style stamped right on it. Here's the interesting fact. In the trailer, you can hear the main theme of Beetlejuice. Take my advice and go see it. I know I will!
ReplyDeleteOMG I realized that too!!! Beetlejuice ROCKS!!!
ReplyDeletedude, bummer
ReplyDeleteSweeny Todd is such a dark musical. I would LOVE to see Burton's take on it...and to FINALLY hear Johnny Depp sing...priceless. I'm looking forward to it FAR more than anything dealing with Jim Carrey. God , he's annoying , although I've got to admit that his portrayal of Andy Kaufman was pretty amazing.
ReplyDeleteAll i really do is watch Tim burton Films and play my bass guitar. I need to see another Tim Film. so i hope the near future is pretty near... Tim burton is the best.
ReplyDelete"Vincent rocks"
Meh, whatever. Movie directors get this crap all the time. It's not like as though you can just whip up a movie, hey, presto. There's so many processes and stuff like that. Remember that the director doesn't always get all the creative freedom that he or she wants/needs or get the fundings that they need.
ReplyDeleteKurai-Gaka
Maybe Sweeney is just to fool all of you and he's going to do something else. He he he.....I know people that know HIM....
ReplyDeleteA small piece of entertaing info, did you know theat tim's girl friend is playing a role in the next harry potter movie?
ReplyDeletehttp://imdb.com/name/nm0000307/ there is the proof! lol, o and to the duffus above me, shut up!
I knew Helena would be cast in one of the Harry Potter films eventually. Sometimes your predictions can come true.
ReplyDeletewow thats cool!!!! a new movie with helena in it yyaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy!!!! and whatever burton chooses i'm happy with coz they both contain great actors and sound both like good movies!!!!! at least he is doing something!!!!
ReplyDeleteMan I hate Harry Potter!!!! What a dork!!! I heard that in the next movie he's going to die! YAY!
ReplyDeletenext MOVIE? surely you mean next book, considering they're only on the fifth movie and there are seven books? even though no one knows for sure, unless you happen to be J.K. Rowling, which I'm fairly certain you're not, so you probably have no idea what you're talking about.
ReplyDeleteI wanna see Burton take on Sweeny Todd.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm not sure if it was the next movie or book but my friend told me it was the movie and he's like the biggest Harry Potter fan ever so I took his word for it.
ReplyDeleteyour a dork, if there is going to be 7 books then there are going to be 7 movies!
ReplyDeleteJohnny's profile on IMDB has him now only rumored for the role of Sweeney Todd...
ReplyDeleteHey I'm not the dork my friend is!!
ReplyDeletePlus I'm not keeping track of how many movies or books there are because I HATE Harry Potter remember?
ReplyDeleteI WANT SWEENEY TODD!!! hurry up and make it/finish it/release it in theatres everywhere already! i want to see it and i want it to make big $! come on, tim, make it happen!
ReplyDeleteeeeeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllll! I mean jeex, I was kind of looking froward to that. Oh, well...least Sweeny Todd will star Johnny Depp, though if it's R rated, I can't see it...d-word...s-word...I'm not allowed to f-ing swear...and yes, IMBD is a pretty good source, to Bill...and I agree with burtonfan9385. However, he noods Danny Elfman to do the music, just because he's a great musician.and fuck that other music guy...don't tell my dad or mom
ReplyDeleteHOW ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT HARRY POTTER IN A TIM BURTON WEBSITE YOU FUCKING WIERDOS!!!
ReplyDeleteAUSTIN WILSON, IF YOU PLAY BASS, YOU'RE COOL...AND I'M A LUNATIC.
ReplyDeleteOh your right. Why are we talking about Harry Potter?
ReplyDeleteI can't wait any longer. I wan't to see another Tim Burton movie. Before I saw Believe It or Not. Now I'm seeing Sweeny Todd. He should just pick one and make it.
ReplyDeleteWe're talking about Harry Potter because.... um..... I don't know, really.
ReplyDeleteAllow me to offer my heartiest wishes.

Hi Best wishes。bjseek by数据恢复
数据恢复数据恢复 The best of luck Best wishes Best regards .by bjseek
That is pretty disappointing. I was looking forward to this one.
ReplyDeletei like all of tim burton's movies he should make as many as he can. he makes the best movies. my favourite movie in the whole world is one of his and that is edward scissorhands. tim burton's has made great movies and he should make more and more intill the day he dies.
ReplyDeleteIs truth that tim burton is going to do the hunchback of notre dame (notre dame de paris/made by victor hugo/) again?
ReplyDeleteI wish that will happend someday....
I will go to see the movie if the movie was made. made or not made victor hugo and tim burton are brilliants. so Will be nice if happend.
Tim you are the best writter and director that ever exist on earth! great job!
Is truth that rim burton is working on The hunchback of notre dame?If is truth I will see the movie , cause every movie that he had done is just perfect and never dissapoint me . so made it or not I love his jobs.
ReplyDeleteSeriously if alan rickman was frollo I will watch him many times I can.
Dark shadows is a very good movie, and funny. great perfomance of johnny depp and elena bonham carter. PLEASE DO IT, Im sure that you will win a oscar!
POSTPONED? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ReplyDeleteSweeny Todd was amazing! And so we learn this was no rumour. ..
ReplyDeleteas for Beleive it or not, who better to cast than Jim Carrey. Hes a great actor and not a bad looking guy on the eyes tho not as smooth as Johnny Depp.
History as we all know with Burton, has a wonderfully hauntingly way of repeating itself and Burton, no doubt will want to finish what he has begun. No matter the time consumed, Burton will at some point deliver this exciting chapter of theatrical splendor to us.
Beleive it...or not. ♡♡♡♡I just Luv that Man very dearly!!
