Tim Burton wrote a manuscript for a children's book at the age of 18 called 'the Giant zlig' back in 1976. Burton sent the manuscript to Disney but the submission was rejected by Disney.

According to the reply by Disney in a letter on February 19, 1976, the book's idea was praised but Disney believed it wasn't marketable and they wished Tim Burton good luck for his future works.

Hopeful news for a future Burton/Depp collaboration!

According to an interview with Indiewire, a possible future collaboration between Tim Burton and Johnny Depp is certain.

"Director Tim Burton may be tight-lipped on his next project, a remake of “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman,” but during a red carpet interview at the Marrakech International Film Festival, he was forthcoming about why.

“One thing I learned very early on is until I’m actually on a set doing something, I don’t know if I’m doing it,” he told IndieWire. “I never like to talk about things too much. I’ve worked on so many projects, sometimes they happen, sometimes they don’t happen, so I don’t want to jinx anything. I mean, I was doing ‘Superman’ once. There was another project that I worked for a year on, and it didn’t happen. It’s quite traumatic, it’s quite emotional.”

Inspired by his childhood love of monster movies and horror films, Burton is set to direct “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman” from a script by “Gone Girl” screenwriter Gillian Flynn for Warner Bros. He will also share production duties with Tommy Harper and Andrew Mittman.

Still riding high on the success of “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” whose worldwide gross is edging toward half a billion dollars, Burton told the audience during a Marrakech Q&A not to expect him to repeat the trick. The 66-year-old director ruled out revisiting one of his most beloved films, 1990’s “Edward Scissorhands.”

“There are certain films I don’t want to make a sequel to,” he said. “I didn’t want to make a sequel to that because it felt like a one-off thing. I didn’t want to have a sequel for ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ because it also felt like a one-off thing. Certain things are best left on their own and that for me is one of them.”

According to Burton, someone not to leave alone is “Edward Scissorhands” star and frequent collaborator Johnny Depp. Though their last project together was 2012’s gothic fantasy “Dark Shadows,” when asked whether there would be another collaboration with Depp, Burton replied, “Well, I’m sure there will be.”

“I never feel like, oh, I’m going to use this and that actor,” he said. “It usually has to be based on the project I’m working on. That’s what film is all about. It’s collaboration and bouncing ideas off the people around you.”
