One of the most prolific and noteworthy filmmakers of our time, Tim Burton sees the world through his own distinct lens. His love of classic horror aesthetics and off-kilter heroes shines through in all of his works, from his first film, Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, to his generation-defining take on the Batman mythology, 1989’s Batman and its 1992 sequel, Batman Returns, as well as original films like Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, and The Corpse Bride.<\/p>\n
Burton’s life and career get a turn in the spotlight with Tim Burton: Life in the Line, a multi-part documentary featuring interviews with friends and collaborators like Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham-Carter, Danny Elfman, Danny DeVito, Christoph Waltz, and more.<\/p>\n
The trailer for the documentary series promises an in-depth look at his work, from his earliest drawings to his greatest blockbusters. However, the series won’t play on a traditional streaming platform. You might think Netflix would play home to this one, given that the streamer is the home of his current project, the hit Addams Family series, Wednesday.<\/p>\n
But no, Tim Burton: Life in the Line will actually debut on its own bespoke website, “TimBurtonLifeInTheLine.com<\/a>,” and it won’t be cheap. A five-day rental of the four-episode series will cost you $25, or they can be purchased outright for $40. However, if you shell out $75, you can buy a super-special-ultimate-omega edition of the documentary, which, per Deadline’s <\/a>writeup of the release, includes hours of extra footage.<\/p>\n Tim Burton: Life in the Line will debut on Halloween, natch.<\/p>\n
