Tim Burton‘s “Nightmare Before Christmas” is a total underdog story. Remember when it first hit the screens in the 90s? It wasn’t exactly the smash hit we know and love today. But plot twist! 30 years later, the movie is a classic in its own right, thanks to its catchy tunes and iconic characters.
With all this popularity (and Christmas holidays around the corner) it would only make sense to celebrate “The Nightmare Before Christmas” with a re-make, right? Well, the film’s creator, Tim Burton, is not really feeling that idea. He doesn’t want sequels, prequels, or re-boots of any kind.
Need proof? Tim Burton himself sat down with Empire to talk about the movie’s 30th anniversary. When asked about a possible Nightmare Before Christmas movie, he straight up said no. The director is literally feeling like an old guy defending his property. This is what he said:
“I’ve done sequels, I’ve done other things, I’ve done reboots, I’ve done all that shit, right? I don’t want that to happen to this. It’s nice that people are maybe interested [in another one], but I’m not.”
So there you have it, it seems that Jack Skellington‘s story is not being renewed this season (or the next ones). It is clear that Tim Burton’s connection to Jack is one of a kind. For that reason, one epic adventure is totally enough.
If you feel like revisiting the film, then head up to Disney+, because we won’t be having any new Nightmare Before Christmas stuff!
Tim Burton says he will never make a sequel or reboot for ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’:
“To me the movie is very important. I’ve done sequels, I’ve done other things, I’ve done reboots, I’ve done all that shit, right? I don’t want that to happen to this. It’s nice that… pic.twitter.com/MOBruJkUyS
