Tim Burton to receive Golden Lion

[Helen Dyer]

Hi Everyone, Since Mr. Lee and Tim Burton (and Johnny Depp) have worked on a number of films together. And there is a mutual respect and friendship (I believe) between them....I thought I would share the following information:

Tim Burton is being honoured at the 'La Biennale di Venezia' (64th annual Venice Film Festival) with a 'Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement'.

The award will be presented on 'Tim Burton Day' by Johnny Depp.

They will also be 'showing' bits from the new 3D The Nightmare before Christmas and Sweeney Todd.

If you have the time and are interested, here is the link to the article;

Congratulations Tim Burton!

Cheers,;)
Helen

This is well deserved for Mr Burton. He is one the best filmmakers of today.
Looking forward to Sweeny Todd.

I also congratulate Tim Burton. I adore to see Mr. Lee and Johnny Depp together . Lamentable there to be few films showing this... I hope to see this couple more and more joins, mainly driven by Tim Burton.
