Biografie und Filmografie

Tim Burton

Timothy „Tim“ Walter Burton (* 25. August 1958 in Burbank, Kalifornien) ist ein US-amerikanischer Autor, Produzent und Filmregisseur.

Sein erster Spielfilm war der 1985 entstandene Film Pee-Wee’s irre Abenteuer. Mit dem Film Beetlejuice gelang ihm 1988 der Durchbruch. Seitdem gehört er zu den erfolgreichen Regisseuren und Produzenten in Hollywood.

1985 lernte er den Filmkomponisten Danny Elfman kennen. Ihr erster gemeinsamer Film war Pee-Wee’s irre Abenteuer. Aus der Bekanntschaft entwickelte sich eine bis heute andauernde Freundschaft. Elfman wirkte auch bei allen weiteren Filmen Burtons, mit Ausnahme von Ed Wood, Die Insel der besonderen Kinder und dem schon vorher als Broadway-Musical komponierten Sweeney Todd, als Komponist mit.
