An Admirers' Site Dedicated to Johnny Depp and His Work
August 11, 2005 – Sify Movies – “[Johnny Depp] has always been known as a good actor, but you know, Hollywood is a very safe community, and it’s like their attitude towards me: they think he is a good actor but they are also a little bit worried because he likes to transform himself,” Femalefirst quoted Burton as saying…
Aug. 10, 2005 – The Hollywood Reporter – Martin A. Grove – Now that the Golden Globe and Oscar timetables have been announced it’s clear that a side effect of the Academy’s schedule changes will be to restore the Globes’ potential to influence Oscar voters as they make their nominations. In terms of films with awards potential that have already surfaced,[one] that come to mind is: “Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride” (Warner Bros.), directed by Tim Burton and with such voice talents as Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham-Carter, Emily Watson and Albert Finney. Opening wide Sept. 23, it’s a likely contender for Oscar’s best animated feature award.

Johnny Depp’s revealed he was in two minds about making more ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ movies. Last updated 10 August 2005.
He says a lot had changed since making the first film; but Johnny reckons as soon as the cameras were rolling, his fears were put at rest. “You didn’t quite know what to expect. But honestly you stepped back on to the set for the first day and it was like jumping back into the skin of Captain Jack,” said Depp.

Warner Bros. Pictures to Unveil “Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride” at Toronto International Film Festival; (Opens in theaters Friday, September 23, 2005)
“Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride” will make its North American debut at the Toronto Film Festival on Saturday, September 10, closely following its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival. Set in a 19th century European village, Corpse Bride tells the story of Victor (Depp), a young man who is whisked away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious “Corpse Bride” (Bonham Carter), while his real bride, Victoria (Watson), waits bereft in the Land of the Living. Though life in the Land of the Dead proves to be a lot more colorful than his strict Victorian upbringing, Victor learns that there is nothing in this world, or the next, that can keep him away from his one true love. It’s a tale of optimism, romance and a very lively afterlife, told in classic Tim Burton style.

VENICE – An animated film based on a 19th-century Russian folk tale and described, as “low budget” by its director Tim Burton is the runaway success of the 62nd Venice film festival so far – Sunday Times.co.za.
Burton’s inventive, funny and touching movie featuring the voices of Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter earned loud and lengthy applause at the festival, where it is being shown out of competition.
“Corpse Bride” marks the fifth time the director has collaborated with Depp, who also starred in Burton’s “Edward Scissorhands”, “Ed Wood” and “Sleepy Hollow”.
There is a strong cast of accomplished character actors to complement the film’s stunning visuals.
Albert Finney and Joanna Lumley play Victoria’s pompous parents Finis and Maudeline Everglot, while Victor’s nouveau riche parents are voiced by Tracey Ullman and Paul Whitehouse.
The veteran actor Christopher Lee, known for his previous roles as Dracula, chillingly plays an authoritarian pastor.
Tim Burton insists that studios were frightened of Johnny Depp’s unpredictability and reluctance to be a celebrity. “He’s always been known as a good actor but they are also a little bit worried because he likes to transform himself,” Burton tells Empire magazine…
