Paula Hammond - Features EditorBeautifully produced, expertly written, and packed with fascinating facts, Ian Nathan’s Tim Burton: The Iconic Filmmaker and His Work is a must for every film-lover.
This new and updated edition covers the full life’s work of iconic director Tim Burton, including the Netflix phenomenon, Wednesday, and the much-anticipated Beetlejuice 2.
Tim Burton is one of the most popular and remarkable filmmakers of the last 30 years — whose signature style, and quirky characters, have turned films such as Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Mars Attacks! into made bone fide cult classics.
Nathan’s film treasury explores the influences on Burton’s development as a filmmaker and assesses how he has brought the fruits of his imagination to the big screen.
Illustrated with behind-the-scenes photographs and stunning film stills, chapters analyse the success and style of films such as Beetlejuice and Ed Wood, and examine how Burton breathed new life into well-known franchises such as Batman, Planet of the Apes, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Alice Through the Looking Glass and Dumbo.
Running to 192 full-colour pages, with a pumpkin-orange hardback slipcase, and oodles of pop-culture Gothic, this is a book for fans, aficionados, and those in love with strange dark things.
Tim Burton: The Iconic Filmmaker and His Work by Ian Nathan is published by White Lion Publishing (IBSN 978-0-7112-9261-1) and priced £28.00.
