Tim Burton has crafted a uniquely visual and graphic world, evident also in the posters of his films. Can you identify these seven movie posters from just a zoomed-in detail?
It’s been five years since Tim Burton’s penultimate film, the 2019 live-action remake of Disney’s classic Dumbo, and his most recent movie to date, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the highly anticipated sequel to his iconic 80s film.
This time, fans might not have to wait as long to see Burton’s next big screen venture, as he is currently working on a remake of Nathan Juran’s classic fantasy, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, with Margot Robbie potentially taking over the lead role from Allison Hayes.
Tomorrow night, enjoy a Burton-exclusive evening on Arte featuring the broadcast of Dark Shadows, followed by the documentary Tim Burton: A Monster of Cinema. This sets the stage for a new quiz about this distinctive filmmaker, with seven film posters to identify from just a small detail. Before you start, here are some behind-the-scenes secrets from his 2012 film.
DID YOU KNOW?
Dark Shadows: The Series
The film Dark Shadows is based on the American TV series of the same name, which aired from 1966 to 1971 on ABC. Over 1225 episodes, viewers followed the supernatural exploits of the Collins family.
The Collinwood Manor
A character in its own right, the Collins family’s estate had to be extraordinary! Its architecture took inspiration from the original series’ mansion located in Newport, Rhode Island. However, for the film, a nearly full-scale manor was built: a facade, a wall nearly a hundred meters long, a courtyard, and a fountain, not to mention a 1/3 scale model that stood ten meters tall!
A Rock Legend…
Rock musician Alice Cooper appears as himself in Dark Shadows. The hard rock band leader Alice Cooper was on set for a day to shoot his cameo, performing two of his hits: “No More Mr. Nice Guy” and “Ballad of Dwight Fry”.
