Tim Burton teams with Kazuo Ishiguro for secret, whimsical World War II project
With Wednesday season three wrapping, Tim Burton and Kazuo Ishiguro are reportedly working on a secret project.
Tim Burton, renowned for his unique and whimsical storytelling, is set to collaborate with Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro on a secret film project. The duo aims to create a story steeped in the post-World War II era, with a particular focus on Japanese culture. Ishiguro, best known for his literary works such as "The Remains of the Day" and "Never Let Me Go," will be penning the script for the film.
This partnership follows Burton's recent success with "Beetlejuice," which has reignited his popularity and opened doors for new projects. Burton's previous film, "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman," is also in development, starring Margot Robbie and co-written by Gillian Flynn.
Meanwhile, Kazuo Ishiguro is currently working on "Klara and the Sun," a novel directed by Taika Waititi. The script for this adaptation was handled by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Dahvi Waller. Despite recent delays, Ishiguro has a history of writing screenplays, including the 2022 remake of Yukio Mishima's "Ikiru" starring Bill Nighy.
