| News of "Big Fish"
With the number of people here who worked on this film it would be nice if a special screening or screenings could be arranged in Alabama. Director Tim Burton is producer on "The Corpse Bride", a stop motion feature using a technique similar to "A Nightmare Before Christmas" and "James and The Giant Peach". He will also be directing the upcoming "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory", based on the book of the same name. A 1971 version, "Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory", starred Gene Wilder. After finishing filming here, Ewan McGregor drove his motorcycle from Alabama to Los Angeles. As he was growing his beard for the role of 'Obi Wan Kenobe' for the next installment of 'Star Wars', he had a few adventures along the way, if you happened to of seen the "Tonight Show" he was on.
