I’m not really a Tim Burton fan at all. I know it’s the “in” thing to say you dig his stuff… but I don’t. Maybe that makes me a 3rd class film fan, but oh well, I can live with that. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve enjoyed a couple of his projects, but not many.
Having said that, the fact of the matter is that Burton has quite a following (for some reason I can’t get my head around), and people have been looking forward to his new flick Corpse Bride. The good folks over at Film Force give us this little synopsis:
The story is inspired by a 19th century folktale in which a man mistakenly marries a corpse. Victor (voiced by Johnny Depp) is pulled into the underworld where he marries the Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham Carter) while his living bride Victoria (Emily Watson) waits for him in the land of the living. Victor is romanced by the fantastic new place, but still yearns to return to the real world and reunite with his true love.
Yup, sounds like a Burton film. Anyway, if you’d like to check out the trailer you can see it here.
