2906 Burton fast final

19
„This one was out of necessity, because what
happened was... this happened at the end. We
had no money; we had no crew; we had no permits,
so just a few of us snuck on to a couple of
rides. [We] got kicked of the pier a few times.
So it wasn‘t out of vanity, it was more out of
necessity.“
Following up, I decided to ask Tim Burton
why he has never really cameoed in his
movies before (the exception being Peewee‘s
Big Adventure), and his answer was
as straight forward and understandable as
it gets:
„I don‘t like looking at myself! That‘s one reason.“
If you haven‘t seen Miss Peregrine‘s
Home For Peculiar Children yet, be sure to
be on the lookout for Tim Burton‘s quick
appearance -- and if you‘ve seen the film,
hit the comments below to tell us whether
or not you spotted the director! You can see
the movie in theaters now, and be sure to
stay tuned for more from our interviews
with the cast and filmmakers!
