Tim Burton is an American film director, producer, writer and artist. He has directed and produced numerous films, many of which have won Academy Awards. He is famed for his dark and quirky-themed films, such as Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands and The Nightmare Before Christmas, and for his blockbusters, including Batman, Batman Returns, Sleepy Hollow, Planet of the Apes, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. His next film Alice in Wonderland is due for release March 5, 2010.
