Exclusive: Get an Inside Look At Tim Burton’s MoMa Exhibit

While most film directors are considered “artists”, there are only a few that fit that role to it’s essential definition. Tim Burton is a filmmaker, writer, painter, and photographer. These skills alone could warrant him a feature at most museums, before you even take into account the vast worlds that Burton has created with every one of his films. We were lucky enough to get an exclusive peak at the brand new Tim Burton Exhibit in New York’s Museum of Modern Art sponsored by the SyFy channel, and we were blown away.
Starting with the opening hallway, the very first room lets you into Burton’s twisted Carnival setting, in which black light, several neon paintings, and a single rotating object sits in the center of the room. This alone is enough to make most cheap haunted houses worth it, and the real exhibit hasn’t even started.

Alec Baldwin Quits While He’s Ahead

“I consider my entire movie career a complete failure,” says Alec Baldwin, the man who has just about acted in more films, sixty-five, than ER has episodes. The quote is taken by Reuters from an interview with Baldwin in an upcoming issue of Men’s Journal. He went on to say, “The goal of movie-making is to star in a film where your performance drives the film, and the film is either a soaring critical or commercial success, and I never had that.” If we are to judge his career based on the metric of significant movies that he has been in, then they most certainly do furnish his life, ranging from Beetlejuice to The Royal Tenenbaums to The Aviator to The Departed. I mean, not every actor gets the chance to belong to films that will endure until the day that cinema is forgotten. Until then, people can see the movie and say,

Actor Alec Baldwin tells Men's Journal he no longer cares to act. "I don't have any interest in acting anymore," Baldwin says in the December issue of Men's Journal. Baldwin adds, "I'm not young, but I have time to do something else." The actor was a scene stealer as Shelly in the 2003 film "The Cooler," and Ellerby in "The Departed," where his intense characters dominated every frame. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in "The Cooler." In 1988, Baldwin shot on the scene for me in several films; Tim Burton's "Beetle Juice" and then "Married to the Mob" as Frank the Cucumber, his evil, sexy mobster in the quirky Jonathan Demme film

Syfy at MoMA

He had me at Beetlejuice. It was 1988 when I was first introduced to the genius that is Tim Burton. I was working at the BBC at the time, thirteen years before I joined Syfy. I recall feeling entirely blown away by the sheer anarchic imagination and black humor of the film. And being English and a fan of dark, surreal comedy which is, of course, part and parcel to the British psyche, there was a natural appeal to Tim Burton's twisted perspective on the world.
Like many Burton fans, I have passionately followed and admired his incredible on-screen work, from Edward Scissorhands and Batman Returns to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. So I was thrilled when Syfy learned of the opportunity to support Tim Burton in an extraordinary exhibition at MoMA.

Michael Keaton has said that he does not want people to easily pigeonhole his directorial debut. The Beetlejuice star told The Guardian that he hopes the path of The Merry Gentleman will surprise moviegoers. Keaton said: "I never wanted the audience to feel they knew what the movie was or where it was going. I hoped they'd be, like, 'Oh, it's this kind of movie? But I thought it was that kind of movie'.

Michael Keaton: 'There's a price to pay for making your own choices'

He used to be Beetlejuice and Batman. Now Michael Keaton is a first-time director and a contented man
Michael Keaton is standing in the middle of his London hotel room, transfixed by the widescreen television before him. He holds out the remote control as if he's offering a gift to the gods. The volume goes up, the volume goes down. The image freezes, then fast-forwards. The urge to wrest the handset from him and take charge is overwhelming, and lasts at least until you remember the fabled Keaton temper. ("I'm a good thrower," he once said. "And kicker.") But his doddery behaviour in the face of technology is endearing. Eventually, he hits on the scene he was hunting for. "Wait, you gotta see this," he says breathlessly. "Listen, you hear that song? Oh, man. That's the one we wanted to use but it was too expensive."

'New Moon' stars fill us in on who they'd most like to helm the final installment in the 'Twilight' franchise.

Could the man who directed "Edward Scissorhands," "Beetle Juice" and "Sweeney Todd" really be the best person to direct "Breaking Dawn," the final installment in the "Twilight" vampire franchise? As odd a choice as Tim Burton might be, popular opinion among the cast seems to be coalescing around him.
"New Moon" vampire Jamie Campbell Bower first came out in support of Burton, telling MTV News earlier this month, "I think he'd screw around with it quite a lot, and aesthetically, I think it'd be incredibly different."
Co-star Ashley Greene seconded that endorsement, telling us earlier this week, "The fourth one's a little odd, a little weird, and I definitely think that Tim Burton would put an amazing spin on it.

From MTV.Com: Tim Burton definitely has his own aesthetic: part goth, part whimsy, part just plain Burton. Throughout his career, he has established himself as the go-to guy for the strangely charming and bizarre.
Now, the man behind such classics as "Pee-wee's Big Adventure," "Beetlejuice," "Edward Scissorhands" and "The Nightmare Before Christmas" is being honored with a retrospective exhibit of the artwork connected to some of his most beloved films at the Museum of Modern Art in New York this winter.

Winona Ryder is an obsessive hoarder and keeps memorabilia from every movie she shoots.
The actress blames her parents for her habit, because they compulsively collected souvenirs as she grew up a child star.
She tells Interview magazine, "My parents have an entire record of my life. They've got copies of every magazine I was ever in. They've got all these Polaroids from wardrobe fittings, and all the stuff from Beetlejuice. Everything."
And Ryder has an extensive collection herself, adding, "I have a really big scrapbook. I still actually have these notes that Marty Scorsese wrote to me while we were making The Age of Innocence.
"I save everything. I definitely have that gene in me. Someone was telling me about this show called Hoarders. I was like, 'Oh no!' I save everything. I'm scared I might be a hoarder."

New Yorkers get a lucky break in two weeks. Starting November 22 and continuing through to the end of April 2010, a career retrospecting Tim Burton exhibit will live at New York's Museum of Modern Art. The exhibit will consist of sketches, paintings, storyboards, puppets, props, costumes and moving image galleries from Burton projects known and unknown. Fans won't want to miss such a rare opportunity to look closely at the legendary filmmaker's process as brings his out-of-this-world ideas together.
For shame if you don't know who Burton is. He's behind an incredible number of bona fide modern classics: "Edward Scissorhands," "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure," "Beetlejuice," "Batman" & "Batman Returns"... a lot of noteworthy stuff. Today's Daily TwitPic actually comes from MoMA's Twitter feed. They posted an image yesterday, a sneak peek at a few of the items which will be incorporated into the exhibit. Check it out after the jump.

Elfman Out of 'The Wolf Man'

More behind-the-scenes trouble with The Wolf Man, Universal’s much-delayed horror project starring Benicio del Toro? Sure sounds like it.
According to Cinemusic, Danny Elfman, known for the operatic scores of films like Batman, is out as composer of The Wolf Man. He has been replaced by Paul Halsinger, who was part of the 80’s synth-rock group Tangerine Dream. Halsinger composed the scores for the films Underworld, Crank, and Death Race.
It sounds like the latest setback for the project, which has been pushed back four times since its original November 12, 2008 release date. Universal shifted The Wolf Man to February 12, 2009, then April 3, 2009, followed by a move to November 6, 2009. Now it’s due to come out on February 12, 2010, hopefully taking advantage of a good weekend for horror films in recent years.
Joe Johnston, director of The Wolf Man, had been enthusiastic about potentially hiring Elfman as his composer. In a 2008 interview,

/Film has reported that Winona Ryder is one of three actors to join Darren Aronofsky’s psychological/supernatural chiller Black Swan. The latest from the director of Pi and Requiem For A Dream is set to roll in New York City within the next month.
Vincent Cassel and Barbara Hershey have also come aboard Black Swan, which stars Natalie Portman as Nina, a ballerina who finds herself competing with a newcomer named Lilly (Mila Kunis)—who may a hallucination or a ghostly apparition. (Whatever the case, Nina and Lilly reportedly have a very hot sex scene together). Ryder, whose genre credits include Bram Stoker’S Dracula, Lost Souls and Beetlejuice, plays a veteran dancer whose role Nina and Lilly are vying to take over; Cassell, from The Crimson Rivers, Brotherhood Of The Wolf and Sheitan, is the production’s “handsome but sinister” director; and Hershey, whom horror fans know from
