Tim Burton & Johnny Depp! TRULY THE GODS DO SMILE UPON 2005

HOLY CRAP! I was surfing around and made the random discovery that Tim Burton has a new movie coming out. Me: Oh that's cool, nice. Then I found out it's Stop-Motion animation, like Nightmare before Christmas. Oh nice! Then I found out it's all creepy and shadowy and stuff (it's called The Corpse Bride) and it's a Halloween type movie,also like Nightmare! OH NICE! THEN I found out, IT'S STARRING JOHNNY DEPP.

OH NICE!!!!!!

(oh yeah!)


The story is based on a Russian folk tale about a young man who is traveling to marry his fiance, and along the way, puts her ring on a stick on the ground and does the traditional little marriage ceremony, in jest. Turns out the stick is the finger bone of a corpse girl, who resurrects and states that they are now married, and spirits the man away to the underworld. Ah those crazy Russians.

Screencaps of the movie's trailer can be viewed here, and I must say they look SHARP. I cannot wait for this movie to come out. It has immediately jumped, no, ROCKET BLASTED to the top of my anticipation list for 2005, shattering and burning its would-be competition with its powerful flames of greatness, meanwhile releasing little flares that spiral down from the sky and are detonating on the excitement sectors of my brain, triggering neural overloads that even now threaten to reduce me to a quivering, drooling mass upon the floor.

Edit: Oh my. Toy rights for the movie have been grabbed by none other than McFarlane Toys, who does the most detailed, intricate, and often absolutely creepy toys ever. HOW MUCH BETTER CAN THIS GET?
