News about Tim Burton

Maisie Williams styled her hair for Paris Fashion Week, taking inspiration from Lydia Deetz of "Beetlejuice" to style her hair. While attending the Christian Dior haute couture spring/summer 2023 exhibition, the "Pistol" actress premiered a spiky set of micro bangs on Jan. 23. Williams let Tim Burton's original goth heroine inspire her appearance, like TikTok users who took inspiration from Addams' experimentation on Wednesday with edgier makeup and darker fashion styles. "Very Parisienne" hairstylist Yumiko Hikage captioned a behind-the-scenes video of Williams getting ready for the day on her Instagram Stories. Helene Vasnier, Williams' makeup artist, applied thick mascara, bold eyeliner, and a pair of swooping lashes for her face. Vasnier added a second dot to each of Williams' eyelids as a finishing touch. The Parisienne mime-inspired makeup, Lydia Deetz-esque ensemble, and a "Nightmare Before Christmas" style dress were designed to complement a subtly avant-garde look.

Get ready, lovers of all things spooky: For a second season, "Wednesday" has been officially renewed. On January 6, Netflix revealed the news on a short teaser with a video of Jenna Ortega as the titular Wednesday, as well as scenes from the show and a video of fan gatherings. Lady Gaga's "Bloody Mary" was also used as the clip's soundtrack, a song that would have been popular on TikTok since being associated with the show on TikTok. In the clip, Netflix announced that "the global phenomenon will return for season two." More torture is coming. You're in luck. pic.twitter.com/t11LptFk7e.jpg www.twitter.com/t11LptFk7e.jpg

Tim Burton's "Wednesday" set for Gwendoline Christie was something different. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly on Nov. 24, Larissa Weems, the "Game of Thrones" actress, was essentially the first time she's felt "beautiful" on film. She attributed this transformative experience in large part to Burton, who collaborated with Christie, in order to express her character as she saw fit. "You should do whatever you like with the story, feel free to make it whatever you please, and we'll keep hearing about it," Christie said. "Larissa Weems was always a student who went to a school for outcasts, and she was always in [Catherine Zeta-Jones] shadow," Christie continued. She landed on the possibility of an old-school "screen siren," fantasizing classic Hollywood glamour, as well as old Hitchcock films to see how the characters performed themselves. Christie said, "this was the first thing that came to me," Christie said. "Even more curiously, Tim had exactly the same idea, and Colleen Atwood had the same idea."

Jenna Ortega appears in Netflix's "Wednesday" on Wednesday, and her character has a variety of peculiar traits. Oricum, the fact that Wednesday never seems to blink is one of the few quirks that stands out from the rest. Ortega said in a "The Today Show" interview on Monday, "She doesn't blink." "When I tilned my chin down and look through my eyebrows, it's like a Kubrick stare, and then I relax all the muscles in my face." A "Kubrick stare" refers to a particular actor used in films including "A Clockwork Orange" and "The Shining," which involves the actor staring primarily at the camera from beneath furrowed brows.

Monsters and spirits weren't the only thing lurking in the shadows behind Netflix's morbid horror movie, "Wednesday." Jenna Ortega trod through Nevermore's grounds, unraveling riddles, decoding cyphers, and coming face-to-face with supernatural villains eager to start her demise — an uninhibited being creeping nearby. Crouching on the ground in a head-to-toe VFX suit, professional illusionist and actor Victor Dorobantu scurried alongside Ortega as Thing, a disembodied human hand and long-serving member of the Addams family. Dorobantu can be seen contorting himself into uncomfortable positions to be part of the scenes shot by Tim Burton, Gandja Monteiro, and James Marshall in behind-the-scenes photographs shared by the streaming platform on Nov. 27. When she delivered a macabre on Wednesday, he walked crab-style behind Ortega. In other photographs, he squeezed himself under desk to reach his hand through holes cut specifically for Thing, knelt in the bushes of the gloomy forest, and even submerged himself underwater while filming.
