蒂姆·伯頓（Tim Burton），導演、夢想傢，特立獨行的好萊塢鬼纔。童年生活封閉而孤獨，與漫畫和電影為友。在加州藝術學院學習時幸運地得到瞭迪士尼奬學金，卻在迪士尼遭遇瞭備受摺磨的人生低潮，其強烈個性與“僵屍流水綫”發生瞭嚴重衝突，但也因此被人賞識，意外當上瞭導演。他善於運用象徵和隱喻的手法，在電影中編織齣一個個充滿魔幻狂想和細膩感傷的迷人世界，形成瞭以前衛、黑暗和怪異著稱的伯頓式風格，因而成為當今全球最具票房號召力的作者導演之一。代錶作有《剪刀手愛德華》《大魚》《理發師托德》《愛麗絲夢遊仙境》等，更多資訊參見其官網http://www.timburton.com。

A revised edition of the only book to explore the unique brilliance of director Tim Burton's work, including a new chapter on the making of Sleepy Hollow.

Still only in his thirties, Tim Burton has established himself in the past fifteen years as one of the great visionaries of film. With the Batman films, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Ed Wood, and, most recently, Sleepy Hollow, he has continually broken new ground both visually and thematically, exploring the dark anguish--as well as the dark humor--that animates many of his characters while also creating a densely textured, sometimes bizarre look specific to each film.

In Burton on Burton, Burton talks to Mark Salisbury about his training as an animator at Disney, the importance of design in his films, and the recurring themes present in his work. In this revised edition, he also discusses the influence of 1950s sci-fi and 1970s disaster films on Mars Attacks! as well as how he conceived his highly stylized approach to the content and setting of Sleepy Hollow, his acclaimed retelling of the Washington Irving story that stars Johnny Depp, perhaps the actor most identified with Burton's work. Enhanced by stills from the films, storyboards, and illustrations of set designs for all his major films, Burton on Burton provides insights and information about the man and his work, throwing light on both his unique artistic vision and on the extraordinary films that have been the result.
