Tim Burton's Unfilmed 'Superman Lives' Movie Art Revealed In MoMA Exhibit
18 November 2009 7:51 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Yesterday, we told you about our visit to the new Tim Burton exhibit at New York's Museum of Modern Art, but just in case you haven't checked out our full photo gallery yet, you might want to do so — and this means you, comics fans. Among the many pieces of awesome art from films like "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" and "Mars Attacks!" there are also a few pieces from Burton's "Batman" films and — here's the kicker — some art from Burton's never-made "Superman Lives" movie (famously set to star Nicolas Cage).
Check out this (slightly cropped) image of Brainiac from an unfilmed "Superman Lives" scene:
Pretty great, right? Check out the full-size Brainiac image, as well as another piece of "Superman Lives" art in our Tim Burton MoMA photo gallery.

Photo Gallery: Tim Burton Exhibit At The Museum Of Modern Art
17 November 2009 3:11 PM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Think about the career of Tim Burton for a little while, and it makes a lot of sense for his work to receive a special exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art. From "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" and "Batman" to "The Nightmare Before Christmas," Burton's projects have always had a certain flair — and it's that unique element of his work that's receiving the spotlight in this new exhibit.
You can get an early peek at some highlights from the Tim Burton exhibit at MoMA (including some great, behind-the-scenes art from "Batman") by clicking on the photo below:

Tim Burton Enjoys The 'Cool Honor' Of MoMA's Career Retrospective
17 November 2009 2:30 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
From MTV.Com: Tim Burton definitely has his own aesthetic: part goth, part whimsy, part just plain Burton. Throughout his career, he has established himself as the go-to guy for the strangely charming and bizarre.
Now, the man behind such classics as "Pee-wee's Big Adventure," "Beetlejuice," "Edward Scissorhands" and "The Nightmare Before Christmas" is being honored with a retrospective exhibit of the artwork connected to some of his most beloved films at the Museum of Modern Art in New York this winter. The visionary said he still doesn't believe that the work in the exhibit belongs to him.

Video: Preview of Tim Burton's MoMA Exhibit ... Directed by Tim Burton
17 November 2009 10:13 AM, PST | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
By Dylan Stableford
The Museum of Modern Art’s big upcoming retrospective on Tim Burton opens with a gala party tonight in New York, with Burton muses Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, and Disney chief Robert Iger expected to attend.
The exhibition, which runs November 22 through April 2010, will span Burton’s films -- digging deep into the Burton canon ("Pee-wee's Big Adventure"!) – as well as his work as an artist, author, photographer and illustrator.
The MoMA description of the exhibition, though, is a tad breathless, even for a Burton fan:

Full Alice in Wonderland Triptych Poster Finally Unveiled
16 November 2009 5:21 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Last week, Disney kicked off a small viral with The Mad Hatter on Facebook who was leading us to some "treasure." As we quickly found out, his treasure was a series of three posters for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland that when put together would give us a good look at all the characters from the movie. The complete reveal took a lot longer than Disney expected, and although they didn't even reach their final goal, they just said to hell with it and put out the final poster anyway. So here it is, the complete triptych poster for Alice in Wonderland for your viewing pleasure. Click the photo or head to Flickr to see it in high res. Alice in Wonderland is directed by visionary filmmaker Tim Burton, of everything from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure to Beetlejuice to Batman to Edward Scissorhands to Mars Attacks to Sleepy Hollow to »

Tim Burton's Severed Head And An Alien Invader In Today's Daily TwitPic
13 November 2009 6:00 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
New Yorkers get a lucky break in two weeks. Starting November 22 and continuing through to the end of April 2010, a career retrospecting Tim Burton exhibit will live at New York's Museum of Modern Art. The exhibit will consist of sketches, paintings, storyboards, puppets, props, costumes and moving image galleries from Burton projects known and unknown. Fans won't want to miss such a rare opportunity to look closely at the legendary filmmaker's process as brings his out-of-this-world ideas together.
For shame if you don't know who Burton is. He's behind an incredible number of bona fide modern classics: "Edward Scissorhands," "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure," "Beetlejuice," "Batman" & "Batman Returns"... a lot of noteworthy stuff. Today's Daily TwitPic actually comes from MoMA's Twitter feed. They posted an image yesterday, a sneak peek at a few of the items which will be incorporated into the exhibit. Check it out after the jump.

New Version of Old Alice in Wonderland Trailer Hits the Web
28 October 2009 11:10 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
This new trailer for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, presented by SpikeTV, doesn't deserve as much hype as it's getting because it's basically a remix or rehash of the original teaser trailer first put out in July. That said, since it technically is a brand new trailer, I'm featuring it anyway, especially because the hype for this movie is (or rather was in July) through the roof. I'll be much more excited once we get to see an actual full-length trailer with finished visual effects and a shot of Alan Rickman as the Caterpiller - that is what I need to make me go crazy with excitement for this new Alice in Wonderland. So anyway, give this a shot.

Weirder and Wilder Things
21 October 2009 3:12 PM, PDT | GreenCine Daily | See recent GreenCine Daily news »
by Vadim Rizov
Visiting a friend in Omaha this past weekend, I saw The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. at the lovely Film Streams theater. I'd never seen the one-and-only Dr. Seuss-scripted 1953 classic, and the spangly print certainly didn't disappoint. Mostly, though, it got me thinking about everything that's wrong with Where the Wild Things Are. Both are sui generis translations of maverick beloved children's authors to the screen in ways that could be "scary" or "inappropriate" for children. And there the similarities end.
Even among surreal, culty kid's films (Return to Oz is my favorite, but Babe: Pig in the City and Pee-Wee's Big Adventure come to mind as well), The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. is singular. A source of dismay for Dr. Seuss (who compared the reviews to an on-set accident where all the children vomited at once) and a financial calamity (losing over $1 million), this weirdest of »
Edward Norton's Marathon, Paris Hilton's Halloween Costume And Juggalo Culture In Today's Twitter-Wood
29 September 2009 3:30 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
The Fall season always means two things -- it's time to wrap up marathon training and start planning Halloween costumes. Edward Norton and Paris Hilton are on top of those tasks, respectively. Norton's planning on running with some Kenyans in New York on November 1st, while Paris is hard a work costume hunting, but you'll have click on down to see where she's shopping.
Also today, Alyssa Milano emphatically denied that she is pregnant, so rumor-mongers back off. Read on to check out what she said, as well as where John Hodgman has been reading about Juggalos, what the weather is like on the "Eclipse" set and what Paul Reubens would have looked like in your high school yearbook. It's all in the Twitter-Wood report for September 29, 2009.

Pee-wee Herman's Strange Visit to The Jay Leno Show
23 September 2009 12:50 PM, PDT | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »
Pee-wee Herman's ballsy bid for a comeback launched last night with the debut of a Twitter feed (one lucky follower will receive a Picturephone call from Pee-wee today), and a visit to The Jay Leno Show that can only be described as strange -- just not the right variety of strange. The star of the brilliant Pee-wee's Big Adventure and equally brilliant children's show Pee-wee's Playhouse emerged in his gray plaid suit looking oddly of-the-moment -- Mr. Herman wouldn't be out of place strutting through the halls of Sterling Cooper assessing workplace productivity. »
Pee-Wee Herman Returns To Television On 'Jay Leno'
23 September 2009 5:00 AM, PDT | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
In the two weeks it has existed, "The Jay Leno Show" has mostly been a study in stale stand-up and retread bits from Jay's run on "The Tonight Show." But so far his lineup of guests has been pretty interesting. He lucked into his conversation with Kanye West last week, and last night he welcomed another former MTV Vma star to his gigantic set: Pee-Wee Herman. Paul Reubens, the man inside Herman's head, has used the Pee-Wee character sparingly since his arrest for indecent exposure back in 1991, but he's bringing the persona back for a stage show in Los Angeles starting in November.
Reubens, who became an icon when the movie "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" and the Saturday morning show "Pee-Wee's Playhouse" became gigantic hits, sat across from Leno in his desk-free interview set-up to joke about his abstinence ring, his early experiences with the theater and how confused he always »

Pee-Wee's back!
23 September 2009 2:27 AM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
Pee-wee's Big Adventure is one of my all-time favorite movies. I don't care what embarrassments happened with Pee-Wee later in his career (and I'm referring to Big Top Pee-wee), I can go back to that movie at any time and still laugh hysterically. As I'm sure you've heard, Paul Reubens is bringing the Pee-Wee character back for a stage show in Los Angeles. To promote the show, Pee-Wee made a surprise appearance last night on "The Jay Leno Show." While this might be the first... »

Reubens 'to resurrect Pee-wee Herman'
12 August 2009 9:58 AM, PDT | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Paul Reubens plans to resurrect his Pee-wee Herman character for a live stage show, it has been reported. The 56-year-old actor will reportedly appear as his child-like alter ego for The Pee-wee Herman Show in Los Angeles in November. According to the Los Angeles Times, the performance is a reimagining of his 1980s theatrical production that was also a special for HBO in '81 and led to his '85 feature film debut Pee-wee's Big Adventure. The franchise also includes children's programme Pee-wee's Playhouse, which aired on CBS from 1986 to 1990. "I've put part of him away for a long time, but part of him has always been here with me," he said. "I think it will be (more) »

Pee-wee's Playhouse: Paul Reubens and Friends Returning
11 August 2009 6:04 AM, PDT | TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news »
Actor Paul Reubens is bringing his trademark character, Pee-wee Herman, and his playhouse full of friends back to their roots. Unfortunately, unless you live in Southern California, you may not be able to see them.
The Pee-wee Herman Show was a Los Angeles stage show in the early 1980s. It resembled the Saturday morning kids show that followed but the original concept was more of an adult parody of classic children's programming. Following appearances on late-night TV, Reubens' Pee-wee character became so popular that he was given his own family-friendly feature film, Pee-wee's Big Adventure.
The success of the movie paved the way for the Pee-wee's Playhouse TV series. Budgeted at $325,000 an episode, the show garnered 22 Emmy Awards during its five year run. Aside from Reubens, the series features Phil Hartman, Laurence Fishburne, S. Epatha Merkerson, Shirley Stoler, George McGrath, Alison »

Weekly Poll Results: Best Tim Burton Movie
30 July 2009 10:25 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
There were plenty of responses to last week's Tim Burton poll, and in the end it was Ed Wood that just barely beat out Edward Scissorhands to take the top spot as his finest work to date. I can certainly understand how many would rank these two the highest, followed by Beetlejuice, although I do think Pee-wee's Big Adventure is a little underrated here. And as much as I expected to see Mars Attacks down at the bottom, I was hoping a few more supporters might come out of the woodwork. Now for the all important question: how would Burton's Planet of the Apes remake have fared in this poll? 1. Ed Wood -- 19.9% 2. Edward Scissorhands -- 18.1% 3. Beetlejuice -- 14.2% 4. Big Fish -- 13.7% 5. Batman -- 13% 6. Pee-wee's Big Adventure -- 8.3% 7. Sleepy Hollow -- 6.2% 8. Sweeney Todd -- 2.8% 9. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory -- 1.8% 9. Mars Attacks! -- 1.8% For more posts like this visit FilmJunk.com. »

Must Watch: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland First Trailer
23 July 2009 4:44 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Even though this teaser trailer leaked out early yesterday, Disney has put out the official, improved version today via The Mad Hatter's Facebook page. Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland stars Mia Wasikowska as Alice as well as Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Anne Hathaway, Michael Sheen, Stephen Fry, and many more talented actors. As I said yesterday, I'm not exactly that fond of the look of this, but maybe I just needed to see it in high quality (and I also saw this in 3D earlier today and it looked great). Even if you've already seen the leaked version, I suggest you check this out again, as it's refreshing to see it in high quality. Watch the official teaser trailer for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland: [flv:http://media2.firstshowing.net/firstshowing/AIW_Teaser1_cc_High.flv http://media2.firstshowing.net/firstshowing/AIW_Teaser1_cc_High.jpg 596 320] Alice in Wonderland is directed by visionary director Tim Burton, of everything from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure to Beetlejuice to Batman to »

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland Teaser Trailer Leaks Early
22 July 2009 12:06 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
As I was heading out to get some lunch today, I got an email alerting me that IGN had accidentally posted the teaser trailer for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland early. It was an accident, as Disney had alerted us yesterday that the trailer wouldn't be online until tomorrow afternoon in connection with their Facebook promo. Of course, IGN smartened up and removed the trailer, but our friends at TrailerAddict still have it up. So if you're anxious to check this out early, drop off every and watch it below. It looks very magical, very whimsical, and very much a fantastical adventure. Though I'm worried not everyone will like what they see. Watch the teaser trailer for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland: Trailer removed at the request of Disney. It will be available again later Thursday afternoon. Alice in Wonderland is directed by visionary director Tim Burton, of »
