A strong candidate for the most unconventional A-list director
in film, Tim
Burton brings an animator's elastic imagination and visual
ingenuity to his movies. Attracted to darker themes, eccentric
characters, and narrative fables, Burton
has excelled at transforming pop culture into idiosyncratic epics,
whether he's reinventing Batman to incorporate the Dark Knight
persona as codified in the '80s, fusing romantic comedy with supernatural
satire, or, on a more modest scale, turning no-budget movie schlockmeister
Ed Wood into a different kind of cultural hero. For all his visual
bravado, Burton's
sheer originality has also earned him the affection and loyalty
of first-rate actors and actresses.
