I love Tim Burton' s stuff, but this particular storyline doesn' t do much for me. I' d have to see a trailer or two to make a real judgement call on this one.

I loved Nightmare Before Christmas too, plus James and the Giant Peach, Edward Scissor Hands, etc., but this move feels like it has lost its " mojo" before it has even started. Seems like this was already done before (with real actors). I believe the lead character was the guy who played the lead in Cocoon.

I loved Nightmare Befo' Xmas and can' t wait for Rotting Bride or whatever it is. I did not care for James and the Giant Peach, but I don' t think that was Burton.

Yes, James and the Giant Peach is a Tim Burton film.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that Tim Burton directed The Nightmare Before Christmas. He did not. It' s just based on his story and he produced it as well. So technically, NBC is NOT a Burton film!

Correct --- Nightmare Before Christmas was directed by Henry Selick. It was written and produced by Tim Burton.

James and the Giant Peach is also a Henry Selick film that was produced by Tim Burton, but was based on a book by Roald Dahl.

I guess Henry (brother of mustache mustafa Tom Selleck?) is not good enough to work on Corpse Bride. I wonder if Tim Burton had ol' Henry MURDERED?
