Edward Scissorhands

Edward Scissorhands is a movie written with Caroline Thompson and directed by Tim Burton released in 1990. The movie (which Burton describes as very personal) is a fable set in an exaggerated stereotype vision of the United States that intentionaly combines cliches from both the 1950s and late 1980s. It also has a central theme of the isolated, misunderstood major character; a theme that shows up in a lot of Tim Burton's work. It stars Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder. Further, many of the motifs and much of the plot from the 1931 film Frankenstein are reprised in Edward Scissorhands.

Adaptations

In 2004, choreographer Matthew Bourne announced his plans to adapt Edward Scissorhands into a ballet production.
