Edward Scissorhands ballet tour info and Believe it or Not update

Two small news items today. For those of you that don't already know, Matthew Bourne's stage production of Edward Scissorhands is currently on tour in America. More information on the dates and locations can be found here.
Also, Variety reports that Steve Oederkerk (Kung Pow) is working on the script for Believe It or Not, with Burton and Jim Carrey still attached. So we may yet see this delayed biopic of Robert Ripley after Burton is finished with Sweeney Todd.

    Sorry Sally, I have to dissagree with Jim Carry:( ....after the Grinch, (even way before that) I really cant stand that type of stuff.

    But, I respect him, the only thing I hope for is that they drop Jim, and TB dosnt do Music Vids. for the rest of his career....

    I don't know how it will turn out. Its kinda scarry thinking about Jim and Tim together. I've never even seen them together have you? I guess if Believe It or Not is a comedy then maby but I'm not sure if it is or not.

    Sally....i like the music video T.B. did too! Seeing how he doesnt normally do stuff like that, he really pulled it off well. I like Jim Carrey too--he was EXCELLENT in the Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind! That movie proved he can be a serious actor; its just he keeps accepting this goofy roles that he shouldnt do.

    I hope the Ripleys movie stays alive b/c i honestly think the Johnny Depp/T.B. thing is getting kinda old--im just not excited yet about this Todd Sweeny thing.

    I'm still dying to see Believe It or Not. Jim Carrey will be fantastic, and paired with Tim, this is definitely going to be something. My attitude at this point is that Carrey should mix his comedic and dramatic styles together to do Ripley. That's what I expect anyway.

    Can't wait for Sweeney Todd! (:

    I was fortunate enough to see Bourne's Edward Scissorhands play yesterday in Los Angeles and it was beautiful. I highly recommend it. :-)

    I too loved Carrey's performance on Eternal Sunshine of the Spottless Mind. I have a feeling he'll do well in Sweeney Todd.

    Yes, Merry Christmas to all Burton fans. I got the latest edition of Burton on Burton (the one with Johnny doing the forward), plus a book on the making of Corpse Bride. What great presents!

    On another note...

    Jim Carrey will be great with Tim. It is perfect material for them, and anyone who doesn't think this will work out has a serious problem. Bring on both Sweeney Todd and Believe It or Not.

    Has anyone else noticed that the IMDb has Tim listed as the director attached for a new Pee-Wee Herman movie?

    I don't believe it for a second, but I'm surprised no one has mentioned it.

    I SAW THAT! I DON'T KNOW WHY I DIDN'T MENTION IT BEFORE! Yes, it seems a little unbelievable, being that it's a adaptation of the Pee Wee TV show, but to see Tim do something with Paul Reubens again would be pretty amazing (for lack of a better word).

    What a strange and exciting trio: Burton, Carrey and Oedekerk. Has anyone seen Kung Pow! or Barnyard? They're lots of fun. I hope it gets made!

    Timothy Spall has been cast as the Beadle according to a Stephen Sondheim site. That is not what I was expecting at all.

    America es un Continente, no un país, casi me desmayo de la emosion al leer que hacian gira, pero me decepcioné al ver que esta solo será por E.E.U.U.

    Me informo siempre a traves de tu página, así como otros latinoamericanos, así que te pido porfavor que para la próxima seas mas específico.

    Saludos desde Chile.

    Well, like I said, Timothy Spall is in talks to play the Beadle, so there's some news for ya. If he winds up playing him, we'll have three Harry Potter actors appearing in Sweeney Todd.

    I can't wait to see it! Tim Burton & Jim Carrey, what a combo! Jim seems to be doing darker work, not so much fluff movies.

    I love Jim carrey's "darker" movies - "Eternal", "Truman" "23"
    In his comedic movies, I always see a scene that he brings out his emotional, tough, sometimes scary or dramatic. He will definitely pull this one off. And with Tim Burton no less! perfect combination!
