Tim Burton is doing another stop motion animation flick, that looks not so suprisingly similar to Nightmare Before Christmas called Corpse Bride. Depp voices the lead, and the trailer went up. Looks suprisingly good.

Release Date: Halloween 2005 (wide)

Cast: (voices) Johnny Depp (Victor), Helena Bonham Carter (The Corpse Bride), Emily Watson (Victoria), Albert Finney, Christopher Lee, Richard E. Grant, Joanna Lumley.

Director: Tim Burton and Mike Johnson (feature directorial debut; worked as an animator on James and the Giant Peach, which Burton also produced)

Composer: Danny Elfman

Screenwriter: Caroline Thompson (Edward Scissorhands, Buddy, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Black Beauty, The Secret Garden); rewrite by Pamela Pettler (cowriter of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)

Premise: Victor (Depp) is travelling home with his friend to get married to his fiancee Victoria (Watson). The two stop to rest in the woods, and as a joke, Victor puts his wedding ring on a finger-shaped stick in the ground and says his wedding vows. The stick turns out to be a rotted finger belonging to a murdered girl (Bonham-Carter), who returns as a zombie and insists that she is now Victor's lawfully wedded wife.

I do that kind of stuff all of the time.

Yet another movie I can't wait to not see. Survey says: Kevin doesn't do cartoons.

Hey Tim Burton, how about using someone besides Depp for your movies.
