According to Rotten Tomatoes, Apes and Mars are Burton's only bad movies. Mars Attacks is awesome, though. :o

I don't see what Burton's visual style has to do with this film. It adds to the overall feel but I doubt anyone will not see this film because they "don't like the visual style".

I think it being a musical is the only reason anyone wouldn't see it. In this day an age, people can believe flying men in tights and a man dressed like a bat, but people singing in a film is totally ridiculous. :dry:

This entire film is Burton's style. I'm sure it will be Burtonesque in everything from visual flaire, to Burton's literal storytelling notion.
 
This is the play we did when I was in high school. I'm looking forward to it for that alone.
 
awesome can't wait!! i love all of tim burtons movies! Edward scissorhands, Big Fish, The nightmare before Christmas, and hes Batmans are my top favorites....except planet of the apes....that was bad
 
I think I'm the only one who liked his Planet of the Apes.:csad:

Well I avoid the interviews for upcoming movies.
As for the ending, it was just what all movies do nowadays, leaving a cliffhanger.

I usually agree with this for Burton's movies, but since I love the score of the musical Sweeney Todd, I wouldn't want Elfman messing with it.
 
Who's composing the score for the film?

I believe that was the original ending of the Planet of the Apes novel.
 
I agree. Elfman can work wonders. This is an adaptation, I thought.
 
It's fantastic as is. Usually musicals get someone to do the underscore, but Sweeney already has that as well.

Sondheim is still alive for God's sake. And I don't think Elfman has ever done much arrangement, which is the only thing this might need. Orchestration has never been his strong suit. We'd end up with it sounding really sythesized, with an artificial choir piping away all the time (just because it worked in Batman and Beetlejuice doesn't mean you need to do it in every movie Danny).
 
i'm surprised danny elfman isnt doing the music, he seems to do all of burton movies
 
Sweeney Todd already has enough music. It doesn't need any original music or mixing of arrangements.
 
He didn't change anything from the original music from the show. He only added 1-2 songs.
 
I'd have to disagree.

Sondheim > Elfman.

sondheim might be great and all but he's no Danny Elfman


and just so you know.. danny elfman scored a little movie called Chicago...:oldrazz:

1. Are you kidding? Elfman is a middling composer at best even among film composers, and Sondheim is one of the most critically acclaimed writers of musicals ever.
2. Elfman's contributions to Chicago amounted to maybe 20 minutes of instrumental music in the movie.
