In Tim Burton’s new movie, Corpse Bride, his favorite leading man Johnny Depp returns to voice Victor, the reluctant groom – Stephanie Sanchez.

The following is a Q&A from the Toronto Film Festival with Depp about his role in Corpse Bride, Pirates 2 and 3 and life with kids…

Q: Had you wanted to do an animated film and why this one?

Depp: It was something I wanted to do, kind of always wanted to do especially since having my first child. I’ve been watching nothing but animated films now. So I’ve really developed a respect and love for them. But more than anything, what drew me to this was Tim. We were just commencing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and he said, ?Hey, I’ve got this other thing, Corpse Bride, maybe take a look at it.’ So I read it and loved it, but it somehow didn’t occur to me that we were going to be doing it at the same time. I thought it was going to be like months down the road so I would have some time later to prepare for the character. So you could imagine my surprise when, as I was very, very focused on Wonka, Tim arrives on set and says, ?Hey, you know, maybe tonight we’ll go and record some of Corpse Bride.’ I was like sure, ‘course we can. I have no character. I didn’t know what the guy was going to sound like or anything.

One of the most visionary and creative directors, Tim Burton returns to the world of stop motion animated with his new feature, The Corpse Bride, featuring the voices of Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Emily Watson, and Albert Finney – POSTED ON 09/15/05 BY Ethan Aames.

Burton co-directs and produces this animated film about Victor Hugo (Depp), a man who on his wedding day makes a mistake in marrying a dead woman named Emily (Carter). Torn between two vastly different worlds, he finds himself embroiled in a love triangle that will have a profound effect on everyone’s world – living and dead.

Q: How would you say that your relationship with Johnny has evolved over the years?

TIM: Well it hasn’t become sexual yet [laughs]. Ever since I met him for Edward Scissorhands, he’s maintained an artistic integrity that is amazing in a movie industry where people can get seduced by certain things. He’s always kept doing what he does and basically a great character actor in a leading man’s body. He’s always kept that integrity and that’s something for me that I find very amazing in this business.

Q: Is Johnny your muse?

TIM: I love working with him and I like to work with actors who like to change and transform and he?s certainly more like Lon Chaney or Boris Karloff than he is a leading man in terms of creating different characters.
