Dave Howe: Syfy at MoMA

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. And I thought what an eyebrow raising proposition for Syfy, famously home to Battlestar Galactica , to be connected to one of the most distinguished art institutions in the world - New York's Museum of Modern Art.

Dan Persons: Mighty Movie Podcast: Tim Burton at MoMA

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:36:22 +0000

Podcast: Download (10.4MB) So you go into this room at New York's Museum of Modern Art's Tim Burton exhibit, and it's like striking gold: the Jack Skellington figure is there, along with a choice selection of the replacement heads that were used to animate dialogue; there's the creepy, completely covered baby Penguin wicker stroller from Batman Returns ; you can see a Mars Attacks stop-motion figure and some test footage shot before Burton decided to go CG; plus the headless horseman figure and the Edward Scissorhands outfit and Ed Wood 's angora sweater. Film geek heaven -- and a must-have for MMP's second video podcast. I pull out my camcorder and power up, and am instantly intercepted by a MoMA PR person, who politely but firmly informs me that practically nothing in the room, save for Edward and Headless and a vitrine with some figures from The Corpse Bride , can be filmed. "Including," she points out, "the angora sweater." Okay, I can dig that, for whatever ...

VIDEO: Preview of Tim Burton's MoMA Exhibit ... Directed by Tim Burton

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:13:34 +0000

By Dylan Stableford The Museum of Modern Art’s big upcoming retrospective on Tim Burton opens with a gala party tonight in New York, with Burton muses Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, and Disney chief Robert Iger expected to attend. The exhibition, which runs November 22 through April 2010, will span Burton’s films -- digging deep into the Burton canon ("Pee-wee's Big Adventure"!) – as well as his work as an artist, author, photographer and illustrator. The MoMA description of the exhibition, though, is a tad breathless, even for a Burton fan: &ldqu..;.

Chuck Roven Developing The Looking Glass Wars ?

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:44:44 +0000

With Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland just a few months away, there's a lot of interest in Lewis Carroll's classic fairy tale but one author who has long been fascinated with it is writer Frank Beddor, who crafted the series of novels collectively known as The Looking Glass Wars , a very different take on Alice's story that has spawned spin-off games and comics. While appearing on ABC's Good Morning America to promote the final book in the series "ArchEnemy," Beddor was asked whether we might see the series brought to the big screen any time soon.
