Tim Burton Says ‘I’m Sure There Will Be’ Another Johnny Depp Collaboration, Shuts Down Chances of ‘Edward Scissorhands’ Sequel: ‘Certain Things Are Best Left on Their Own’

Michaela Zee Tim Burton may have reawakened the Ghost With the Most in the recently released sequel to his 1988 comedy-horror film “Beetlejuice,” but that didn’t seem to convince the filmmaker to revisit some of his other classics.

During a Q&A at the Marrakech International Film Festival on Saturday (via IndieWire), Burton dismissed the possibility of developing a sequel to 1990’s “Edward Scissorhands,” which starred Johnny Depp as the titular role. “There are certain films I don’t want to make a sequel to,” Burton said. “I didn’t want to make a sequel to that because it felt like a one-off thing.

I didn’t want to have a sequel for ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ because it also felt like a one-off thing. Certain things are best left on their own, and that, for me, is one of them.” Although Burton hasn’t directed a film involving Depp since 2012’s “Dark Shadows,” Depp remains one of Burton’s most frequent collaborators to date.

In addition to “Edward Scissorhands” and “Dark Shadows,” Depp and Burton worked together on “Ed Wood” (1994), “Sleepy Hollow” (1999), “Corpse Bride” (2005), “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” (2005), “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” (2007) and “Alice in Wonderland” (2010).
