New documentary on iconoclast director Tim Burton releases first look with Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, and Jenna Ortega

“I would love to take a trip inside his brain, the kingdom that is his heart, where these characters live,” Ryder added. "They just roam around and come out from sketches to film."

Ryder recently reprised her Beetlejuice role alongside Keaton and Catherine O'Hara in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which was released last year. The sequel also starred Ortega, who plays the title role in Netflix's Wednesday, executive produced by Burton. 

"He's always drawing, he's always working on something artistically," Keaton explained. "His brain is working so fast, much faster than the words want to come out."

"Tim tells his life story through his filmography, and the doc takes us on a truly inspiring journey through decades of cinematic history, filled with deep personal insights, passions, and struggles," Wood said. 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, this will be “the first time the famed director has supported a project about his work and includes exclusive interviews, unpublished artworks and a never-before-seen stop-motion short film."

The first episode of the docuseries was screened at the Tribeca Film Festival.
