Tim Burton has long been considered one of the most distinctive filmmakers in Hollywood, so that only reason that the public would like – no, deserve – To see his works in the highest resolution possible. Well, Burton fans, we have good news on this front: one of his most welcome fantasies is to return to the shelves with a 4K remaster, timed to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the film.
We are talking about of course The bride of corpseThe animated stop-motion effort that twinned Johnny Depp (as Victor Van Dort) and Helena Bonham Carter (like the lounge holder) in a unorthodox love triangle with Emily Watson (as a fiancée of Victor, Victoria Everglot). Although the film marked the first official Burton incursion in hitchhiking, it had already tolerated by producing The nightmare before Christmas in 1993 and James and giant fishing Three years later.
Although The bride of corpse was generally welcomed by criticisms – it is currently 84% on the website of the Revision Aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, and has a note of 7.2 / 10 on Metacritic – it was not a huge success at the box office. Opening in second place behind the most forgotten action thriller Flight plan,, Bride I was abandoned within the lower reach of the first ten by the end of its first month in theaters, and finally reported a little more than $ 118 million worldwide – enough to cover its budget of $ 40 million, but far from the successful heights on the scale of larger films in Burton. (Again, commercial success is not all: Burton is very offbeat Planet of the Apes The remake has managed a truly impressive transport of $ 362.2 million.)
Over the years, The bride of corpse has developed a cult suite, and today, it is one of the most satisfactory entries in the director’s long eccentric filmography – who all made it the perfect candidate for a little additional love by Warner Bros., where the leaders have seen fit to order the next remastered edition. Available on September 23 in standard packaging and steelbook, the 4K UHD upgrade is also delivered with a range of bonus equipment, including:
-
Dig the past: minds behind Corpse
-
‘Until the death of us, an art: a Corpse Reflection

-

-

While most of the additional features included in the new package are previously published, two of them – “Crering Up the Past: The Minds Behind Corpse“And” ’til Death do us art: a Reflection of the bridal of the corpse“- are new to consumers. And as if all this was not enough, the celebration continues in October, when The bride of corpse is planned to return to certain theaters for a special limited birthday commitment.
Burton, meanwhile, is already working hard on his next film, a remake of the science fiction feature film Attack of the 50 -foot woman. As recently reported, Margot Robbie is in talks to connect for the title role.
