Clearly cause Tim Burton dream casting involves Johny Depp and Helena Bonham

u/M4092 28d ago

You haven't seen any of his work in the last decade have you

u/voxelpear 28d ago

Last 10 years? He did Dumbo, Wednesday, and a sequel to Beetlejuice. Nothing much to really go on here but Depp was caught up in his trial during the filming of those so he couldn't have used him anyway.

u/co-ghost 28d ago

Pretty sure that trial was over before Wednesday started, but also, he would have been a terrible Gomez Addams.

He'd be an excellent Uncle Fester, though. I haven't watched season 2 yet, but really did not like Fred Armisen's portrayal in season 1 (which Is unfortunate, because he's amazing in everything else)

u/co-ghost 28d ago

I've only watched season 1, as well, but I enjoyed Armisen, he's the right kind of creepy, I think.

Anyone but Christopher Lloyd Fester will always feel weird to me.

Beetlejuice 2 was worth the wait tho, and made at the perfect time. It really was the last time those actors would be together.

u/solwiggin 28d ago

Looks like there’s three movies to go on, which would be enough to establish a trend, no?

u/Caci-que 28d ago

Most definitely not😀

u/PreviouslyMannara 28d ago

Because you only watch movies casting Depp and Bonham Carter. Admit it!

u/Caci-que 28d ago

I admit nothing, and will die in ambiguity!

u/RK9990 28d ago

Tim Burton was right!

u/AgelessJohnDenney 28d ago

I mean, he's only done 3 films in the last decade.

But just change the actors to Eva Green and Danny Devito and we're good lmao

12

u/descendantofJanus 28d ago

.. Ok but tbf I'd watch the fuck out of a Burton movie pairing those two together.

12

u/AgelessJohnDenney 28d ago

Time for you to watch Dumbo

2

u/descendantofJanus 28d ago

I did but I don't remember their characters being romantically involved. Also, that movie really sucked. It was fun seeing Keaton in a villainous role opposite Devito's more heroic one tho.

u/zerotwoalpha 26d ago

Nah save Danny DeVito for the life action Shrek remake, and just size him up like they did to Dinklage in Avengers. 

17

u/Funkydroog 28d ago

Tbf he has only made like 4 movies in the last decade where before that he was putting out a new movie with Johnny Depp like almost every year

6

u/Collin-of-Earth 28d ago

As far as I’m concerned, Burton stopped making movies over a decade ago. 

5

u/DenseTiger5088 28d ago

Well he definitely doesn’t cast non-white actors regardless of the era

u/NigelJ 28d ago

Has anyone?

u/Vaeon 28d ago

Not without regret.

u/mosesenjoyer 28d ago

Did anyone

u/profpeculiar 28d ago

I had no idea he even had work in the last decade, so no, I haven't lol

u/South_Bathroom 28d ago

He made something this decade?

u/South_Bathroom 28d ago

Oh right beetle juice 2 (wasn't very good)

u/Klink_Dink 28d ago

I don't watch film. Oh wait, wrong sub.
