My favourite director is Tim Burton!
Everyone loves more Steven Spielberg... What's the director you prefer?

Burton is the best

I mean Spielburg does do some good film, but I prefer Burton's style.

Cool

I had to go with Spielberg... He directs a whole range of movies, each with their own look and feel.

Well you have probably seen one movie that each has done.

Speilburg directed all of the Indiana Jones movies, Schindler's List, Jaws, Jurassic Park, Saving Private Ryan, War of The Worlds, Catch Me If You Can and quite a few more.

Tim Burton works a lot with Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter (His longtime girlfriend), and Danny Elfman usually does the music. He is best known for Nightmare Before Christmas, Sleepy Hollow, Big Fish, Sweeney Todd and more.

I can't imagine that you haven't seen at least one of the movies that they have directed.

I love Speilburg's War Movies, but I prefer Burtons darker style.

Yep. She's the only cast member confirmed. She looks good for the part, I think.

I do like some of Speilberg's films, Schindler's List and War of the Worlds...

She's done other films before.

Apparently Matt Lucas is playing Tweedledum and Tweedledee. I love Matt Lucas, I think he's awesome.
