Tim Burton’s future projects: “Well, I’m currently woerking on Sweeny Todd, which will be released in mid-2007. After that, I’m gonna start working on a new script that was sent to me recently: Grim Fandango. It sort of follows the style of The nightmare before Christmas and Corpse Bride. It’s about a surreal land of the dead, some sort of purgatory where everyone goes when they die. In that place, dead people have to make a four-year transition before they can rest in peace for all the eternity. I still don’t know when we’re going to start filming this, though.

Just a rumor at this point, but who knows, If they can pull this off properly it could very easily
be the best game to movie adaption. The game itself is very cinematic so with the right writers we could see one amazing movie.

 

[golem]

omg.

 

[DarknessTear]

Yeah he'd do it perfect but the real thing is... I HONESTLY DOUBT THE EXISTENCE OF A GRIM FANDANGO MOVIE, EVER!

 

[Speevy]

Rerelease the game on consoles while you're at it.

 

[Battersea Power Station]

OMG DONT FUNK WITH MY HEART

this could be so good but Corpse Bride was kind of uninspired so I don't know I hope they get the original voice cast I hope there aren't any song oh man please keep the art style and the witty humor

 

[beelzebozo]

this makes too much sense.

Spoiler

please be so

 

[Pedigree Chum]

omg.

First thing that popped into my mind.

Tim needs to give up on games and just make movies. Tim + Pixar = SEX.

 

[Coop]

i hope they get the original cast and maybe it will improve sales of the game. if this is true of course

 

[Oneself]

Since when rumors about Tim Burton comes straight from Tim Burton's mouth?

 

[Clever Pun]

honestly, it makes far too much sense.

I hope there are musical numbers.

 

[Father_Brain]

bullshit. the site doesn't even bother to cite this "interview."

 

[nubbe]

This could be all sorts of awesome

 

[Wollan]

Kinda ot but before Nightmare before Xmas, Tim Burton made a demo reel of the movie technique, is this reel available to watch online somewhere?

 

[Speevy]

Make a Psychonauts movie too. The world deserves to see the Milkman Conspiracy on the big screen.

 

[E-phonk]

Grim Fandango: The Movie ?
I'd buy that for a dollar!


No seriously - that idea would be too fanboyis-good to ever come true.

 

[Amir0x]

May i ask... what exactly is this website? It's like some blog... why should i believe this is any legit info?

 

[ghostlyjoe]

Grim Nightmare Before the Corpse Bride ftw?

 

[MrPing1000]

If it ever did get made and released, I bet EA would get the license for the film and make shitty platformers for every console HOORAY!

 

[Bebpo]

This would be the best movie ever

But yeah it sounds fake

 

[Geek]

Considering that this reads too good to be true and that no other site (via Google News) seems to have picked up on this nearly week old news, I think this web site stinks.

[many tears]

 

[BorkBork]

I would watch that. This is one game to movie adaptation I can get behind.

 

[Patrick Klepek]

SHUTTHE****UPSHUTTHE****UP

i want this to be true

 

[Chris Remo]

Anybody know anything about this blog at all?

 

[Patrick Klepek]

The fact that the 'about' page isn't even filled out makes me think it's someone f'ing with fans, creating the illusion of a real interview with quotes from other Burton comments.

Several of the quotes are taken directly from that interview. Cue crying.

It does have a bunch of other previous entries though, none of which have anything to do with video games or Tim Burton.

Well sure, but look at the first entry -- he just randomly interviews Christopher Lambert?

...and I found one of the Lambert quotes here --

Good find, thanks.

Now this is a videogame movie I can get behind!

(now to find my lost copy of the game and actually beat it!)

QFT

"I am the milkman"

doesn't work on xp crashes on my pc after about five to ten minutes into the game

 

[Coop]

Worked on my computer with no problems, i just needed the patch for the elevator puzzle

 

[Dan]

*whew* So this is fake? Burton doesn't belong anywhere near this amazing story.

I would also accept nothing less than all the people of the original vocal cast.

Edit: The quote about the story isn't even correct.

 

[Ninchilla]

This put me in the mood to play it through again, and I can't find the discs... I feel like crying... :'(

 

[Joe Molotov]

Chances of this happening = 0.1/10
Chances of me filling my pants with joy if it did = 10/10

If you have to ask, it probably shouldn't be posted on the Web site.

Holy Crap. Holy Crap. Holy Crap. Holy Crap. Holy Crap.

Not true. Not true. Not true. Not true. Not true. Not true.

For the record, Tim Schafer says he's never heard of this. (Thanks, Jake.)

Abandon all hope all ye who enter this thread.

I loved this game. The voice acting, story, and characters were great!

Not sure how a movie would be, but anything grim fandango is fine with me (please don't ruin it!)
