Tim Burton Says He’ll Collaborate With Johnny Depp Again, But Don’t Expect an ‘Edward Scissorhands’ Sequel

The “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” director also shoots down a potential follow-up to “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” since it’s “a one-off thing”

Despite the success of “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” director Tim Burton has reaffirmed that “Edward Scissorhands” is one movie that “I don’t want to make a sequel to.”

Burton was asked about the film and several others on the red carpet at the Marrakesh Film Festival. IndieWire reported Burton added, “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.”

That doesn’t mean that he’s finished working with frequent collaborator Johnny Depp, though.
