LONDON — Legendary film director Tim Burton announced another upcoming film starring actors Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter where everyone is pale and weird.

"My fans expect me to direct a certain type of film, but Zombie Bride Pencil Hands is a little different from my usual offerings," Burton commented. "It's got Helena in a role like you've never seen where she wears only black and looks morose and says weird stuff. Johnny dug deep to play a pale undertaker who also only wears black, looks morose, and says weird stuff. It's gonna unlike anything you've ever seen."

Burton said his latest film was a creative stretch for his team but he's thrilled with the final product and hopes audiences will connect with the groundbreaking score composed in a jazzy, bouncy minor key by Danny Elfman and scenes shot entirely at night with dark blue lens filter.

"Oye, mate I'm telling you it's totally new," Bonham Carter told a group of reporters gathered in her all-black gothic-style London front parlor. "We only used white powder for face makeup and 90 percent of the film is Johnny and me standing in a graveyard singing a song about how we love being dead but also how we long to connect with the world of the living."

The film cost an estimated $90 million to shoot and Burton says he's sure it will connect with modern audiences who definitely aren't tired of a genre he perfected and took to its peak sometime in the late 1980s.
