Edward Scissorhands is Real ... and He Cuts Hair!

9 December 2009 12:45 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

A stylist in Florida offers a wild way to cut hair, Edward Scissorhands-style. Valentino LoSauro told UK newspaper The Telegraph, "I am a pianist as well as a hairdresser and wanted to combine that light fingered touch with my styling. So the 'Clawz' were born as a simple idea to bring a musicality to hair styling. When I cut the hair I use methods I call 'Flight of the Bumblebee' and 'Zap.'" According to him, it took him two years and £150,000 (about $243,557.46 in today's shoddy economic climate) to come up with his zippy creations. (The picture over on the right is just one Claw up close and personal.)

Now, I'm no hairdresser so I don't know if it would be a good idea or not, but I would totally let this guy near my Jewfro with his magical gadgets, which you can read about on the official Clawz website. »

Tim Burton Playing Cards – A Full House…of Twisted

9 December 2009 7:58 AM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

Have you ever studied a pack of plain playing cards? Not very interesting! They’re usually just a bunch of spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds along with some Victorian era people. That is why card makers are constantly printing more interesting decks. Whether it be naked women, your favorite football team or even Lego themed cards, there’s something for most anyone, and now Tim Burton fans included.

The number cards for all suits on this deck are displayed in a slightly twisted fashion. The inherent design of each heart, club, diamond and spade are definitely a perfect cosmetic fit in the design style that Tim Burton brings to the table. The higher end cards (Jack, Queen, King and Ace) have specific characters on them, all of which have a resemblance to children, albeit as a zombie, sewing doll, mummy and a long past due zombie/vampire, depending upon your view, »

'Dark Shadows' To Shoot Next Fall

7 December 2009 9:05 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »

It sounds like Dark Shadows is definitely back on schedule, albeit a little more than a year later than originally anticipated.

According to Sci Fi Wire, producer Graham King said the film would be in production by next fall. Producer Richard Zanuk previously said work on Dark Shadows would begin in summer 2009.

The movie adaptation of the classic 1960’s gothic soap opera, which featured vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and other assorted creatures, will be directed by Tim Burton as his post-Alice in Wonderland project. Not surprisingly, Johnny Depp, who teamed with Burton on Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Sweeney Todd and the upcoming Alice will star as the brooding vampire Barnabas Collins.

Burton is finishing post-production on Alice in Wonderland. As such, King said he is already prepping production on Dark Shadows with screenwriters, to make it easier for Burton to slide into it next year.

Johnny Depp And Tim Burton To Shoot 'Dark Shadows' Next Fall

7 December 2009 8:00 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Earlier this year we asked Tim Burton about his upcoming adaptation of "Dark Shadows," the '60s soap opera with a vampire protagonist and a generally supernatural edge. Before that even, we heard from both Burton and his intended "Shadows" star Johnny Depp that the TV adaptation would shoot next year.

Now we have an even more specific time frame to work with. Speaking to producer Graham King, Sci Fi Wire has learned that production will start on "Shadows" late next year. What, you want to know when? "We're actually going to shoot that film next September/October with Tim Burton and Johnny," he said. Which I'm guessing means that the movie will see a summer or fall 2011 release, presuming all goes as planned.

I don't have much experience with the TV series, but vampires are certainly what's hot right now. And for all of his experience, Burton's never done a proper vampire movie. »

Ask the Flying Monkey! (December 07, 2009)

Have a question about gay male entertainment? Send it to aftereltonflyingmonkey@yahoo.com! (Please include your city and state and/or country.)

A Note from the Flying Monkey: I recently wrote how weird it is that, completely coincidentally, I often get a bunch of questions all at the same time clustered around a central theme. Well, almost every question I received this week had something to do with music. Check it out!

Q: Oh, Great Flying Simian Even Smarter Than the Only Other Smart Monkey I Can Think Of, Doctor Zaius: You might not have heard about it because it was very hush-hush, but Adam Lambert kissed his keyboardist during a performance at the American Music Awards. Supposedly, it wasn’t rehearsed, but done “in the moment.” So what does the keyboardist think – and is he gay? – Martin, U.S. Virgin Islands

Birthday Suits, Well Directed

30 November 2009 6:05 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Lights. Cameras. Birthday Action (for this, the 30th of November). Only one month left to go and it's 2010. How crazy is that?

Ridley, Terrence (in the 70s) and Marc

1835 Mark Twain's books have been adapted into movies ever since the movies began. Most notably The Prince and the Pauper and any tale of Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer

1920 Virginia Mayo 40s and 50s star, frequent Danny Kaye foil

1926 Richard Crenna, character actor

1927 Robert Guillaume, "Benson"

1929 Dick Clark, seemingly immortal creature who may finally be destroyed by the rise of his spiritual offspring Ryan Seacrest. It's all very Cronos vs. Zeus, only without the thunderbolts

1937 Ridley Scott, manly director whose movies are usually way better when they're shot through with a strong female presence. Consider the three classics: Blade Runner, Thelma & Louise, Alien. The rest of the filmography surely has its moments but that's the trinity right there.

Thanksgiving's making me feel queasy | Hadley Freeman

25 November 2009 1:00 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

But with Sarah Palin eyeing the presidency and Scientology in trouble there are at least reasons to celebrate

Americans do holidays better than anyone and, dammit, we have the obesity problem to prove it: two-thirds of us are now officially overweight and that figure, like the dial on the bathroom scale, is only going to rise.

One reason for this happens tomorrow: Thanksgiving, which falls smack in between Diabetes Night (aka Halloween) and Obesity Day (aka Christmas.) Imagine having Christmas dinner, twice, less than a month apart. It's not enough that our portions are bigger anyway, we have the whole meal again.

But if there's anything more American than eating an enormous meal twice, it's finding a justification to do so. So while the holiday itself might elicit groans (of indigestion), there are plenty of things this year that are worthy of a third helping of sweet potatoes with marshmallows, »

Syfy at MoMA

24 November 2009 8:53 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

He had me at Beetlejuice. It was 1988 when I was first introduced to the genius that is Tim Burton. I was working at the BBC at the time, thirteen years before I joined Syfy. I recall feeling entirely blown away by the sheer anarchic imagination and black humor of the film. And being English and a fan of dark, surreal comedy which is, of course, part and parcel to the British psyche, there was a natural appeal to Tim Burton's twisted perspective on the world. Like many Burton fans, I have passionately followed and admired his incredible on-screen work, from Edward Scissorhands and Batman Returns to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. So I was thrilled when Syfy learned of the opportunity to support Tim Burton in an extraordinary exhibition at MoMA. ... »

Alice in Wonderland Costumer Colleen Atwood: 'It's Going To Be Amazing'

24 November 2009 7:00 AM, PST | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »

Think of the look of any Johnny Depp character from the Tim Burton universe -- from Edward Scissorhands' bondage buckles to Ed Wood's angora sweaters to the breeches and waistcoasts of Sleepy Hollow's Ichabod Crane -- and Colleen Atwood was the woman who envisioned and executed it. One of the most sought-after and gifted costume designers working in Hollywood today, Atwood has been nominated for an astounding eight Academy Awards, of which she's won two -- for Chicago and Memoirs of a Geisha. Just reading about her 2009 slate is enough to render you exhausted: good thing she had Depp's measurements seared into her memory when work began on Michael Mann's Public Enemies (which comes out on Blu-ray and DVD Dec. 8th); then there was the business of putting all those other Oscar winners into revealing outfits for Nine; and let's not forget Mr. Burton, who called »

Tim Burton Exhibit Opens at MoMa

19 November 2009 10:41 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

Tim Burton is lauded as being one of the most creative forces in Hollywood. His films have a distinct style that sets them apart, and characterizes Burton as a stand out director. Now, his work is being moved from the big screen onto the walls of the Museum of Modern Art.

In an exhibit opening Sunday and running through April, MoMa will have on display film memorabilia, movie posters, and drawings by Burton– some going as far back as his childhood. The exhibit will also include a film series showing Burton’s feature and short films, along with movies that influenced him.

This is the largest exhibit MoMa has ever put on that displays a retrospective view of the works of a filmmaker. At a press conference for the exhibit, Burton thanked “everybody that raided my closets” to find the material for the exhibit, and described the process of collecting work, »

Hi-Res Banner For Alice In Wonderland

19 November 2009 5:12 AM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »

Following the three new posters we’ve had recently (here and here) for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, Disney have release the full image in the form of a high resolution banner! The image is a combination of the three aforementioned posters, and shows Wonderland in all it’s -er- wonderful glory!

Tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice) attempts to work his gothic magic over one of the best loved stories of all time… Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice In Wonderland’ and ‘Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There’, which first told the story of a young girl, who after following a rabbit down a hole, is transported to a strange world. Whilst the disney version of the tale relied on sweetness and light to delight the audience, Burton fans can be sure to look out for the same cartoon traits as earlier masterpiece ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’.

Kellan Lutz And Nikki Reed Make Their 'Breaking Dawn' Director Picks

19 November 2009 4:14 AM, PST | MTV Movie News | See recent MTV Movie News news »

'New Moon' stars fill us in on who they'd most like to helm the final installment in the 'Twilight' franchise.

By Eric Ditzian

Could the man who directed "Edward Scissorhands," "Beetle Juice" and "Sweeney Todd" really be the best person to direct "Breaking Dawn," the final installment in the "Twilight" vampire franchise? As odd a choice as Tim Burton might be, popular opinion among the cast seems to be coalescing around him.

"New Moon" vampire Jamie Campbell Bower first came out in support of Burton, telling MTV News earlier this month, "I think he'd screw around with it quite a lot, and aesthetically, I think it'd be incredibly different."

Co-star Ashley Greene seconded that endorsement, telling us earlier this week, "The fourth one's a little odd, a little weird, and I definitely think that Tim Burton would put an amazing spin on it. »

Johnny Depp Is People's Sexiest Man Alive of 2009

18 November 2009 6:45 PM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

Johnny Depp is the Sexiest Man Alive of the Year, according to People magazine. This marks the second time the actor nabs the first spot in the publication's annual list after previously scooping the same honor in 2003.

"From a sexy swashbuckler in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise to quirkier roles like Edward Scissorhands, the 46-year-old star has had women swooning since his days as a teen detective on '21 Jump Street'," the weekly magazine writes about Depp. "Yet it's his devotion to his family that really makes the actor so endearing."

Depp is joined in the list by some other Sexiest Men Alive of 2009 which include a number famous names ranging from movie industry to music to sports. Ryan Reynolds, Bradley Cooper, Robert Downey Jr., David Beckham, Jake Gyllenhaal, Gilles Marini, Adam Lambert, and Robert Pattinson are some of them.

Johnny Depp has twice landed the title of Sexiest Man Alive, but to the cast and crew of his films -- he's simply a "real gentleman."

"He's a real gentleman in a modern time where a lot of people aren't. He's a step apart," says Oscar-winning designer Colleen Atwood, who has worked with Depp on everything from "Edward Scissorhands" to "Public Enemies."

Johnny Depp Named Sexiest Man Alive Again

18 November 2009 2:25 AM, PST | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »

Johnny Depp has officially joined the very exclusive two-time People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive titleholders' club. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star has been bestowed the honor this year, his second time since scoring the title in 2003.

The 46-year-old actor joins fellow two-time winners Brad Pitt (1995 and 2000) and George Clooney (1997 and 2006) in the elite club.

According to People, the father of two still reigns as Hollywood's most irresistible iconoclast. He has portrayed some of the silver screen's most memorable characters, including Jack Sparrow in the "Pirates." franchise, the title role in "Edward Scissorhands," and the quirky Willy Wonka in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."

He has been nominated numerous times for Academy Award, Screen Actor Awards and for the Golden Globes. He won the Best Actor trophy from the Golden Globes for his role in "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" in 2007.

Tim Burton brings us 30 seconds of awesome

17 November 2009 2:43 PM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Any New York-based Tim Burton fan should rush over to 53rd Street sometime between Nov. 22 and April 26, 2010. Why? The Museum of Modern Art will be running a retrospective exhibition on the imaginative director. And, if you ask me, an exhibit on the man behind Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, would include too much glorious quirk and animated derangement to ignore! Moma hardly needs to advertise such a cool exhibit—I was there before you could even say Mars Attacks!—but they've released this fun 30-second animated spot from the director anyway. So take »

Tim Burton Enjoys The 'Cool Honor' Of MoMA's Career Retrospective

17 November 2009 2:30 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

From MTV.Com: Tim Burton definitely has his own aesthetic: part goth, part whimsy, part just plain Burton. Throughout his career, he has established himself as the go-to guy for the strangely charming and bizarre.

Now, the man behind such classics as "Pee-wee's Big Adventure," "Beetlejuice," "Edward Scissorhands" and "The Nightmare Before Christmas" is being honored with a retrospective exhibit of the artwork connected to some of his most beloved films at the Museum of Modern Art in New York this winter. The visionary said he still doesn't believe that the work in the exhibit belongs to him.
