Burton has directed 14 films as of 2010, and has produced 10 as of 2009. His next films are an adaptation of the soap opera Dark Shadows, scheduled to be released on May 11, 2012, his production Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, based on the novel of the same name, and a remake of his 1984 short, Frankenweenie, scheduled to be released on October 5, 2012.

 People I respect and don't respect (19 person items)"While his recent films apart from Sweeney Todd and Frankenweenie have not been good, but still he was a huge influence on my life. I was fascinated by his films unlike any other I seen from the stories, visuals, and such. The one that really inspired me is Ed Wood on it's morals of following your passion to the very end, and the importance of acceptance. "

 10 Suggested New Year’s Resolutions for Filmmakers (9 person items)"
Tim Burton:
Take a risk on an original idea.

He did film remakes (Planet of the Apes, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), book adaptations (Big Fish, Alice in Wonderland), film versions of TV shows (Dark Shadows), short story adaptations (Sleepy Hollow), even a film based on trading cards (Mars Attacks!). This cycle came to its logical and seemingly"
