Tim Burton On A ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ Sequel Or Reboot: “You Ain’t Getting This Property!”

·1-min read

Tim Burton is clear that a sequel or a reboot of The Nightmare Before Christmas is not happening. In a new interview, the director talks about what he thinks about the idea of the stop-motion film getting a follow-up 30 years after the movie’s debut.

“I’ve done sequels, I’ve done other things, I’ve done reboots, I’ve done all that shit, right? I don’t want that to happen to this. It’s nice that people are maybe interested [in another one], but I’m not,” Burton told Empire.

He continued, “I feel like that old guy who owns a little piece of property and won’t sell to the big power plant that wants to take my land.”

The publication notes that Burton then said in a “grumpy old prospector voice,” “Get off of my land! You pesky little… You ain’t getting this property! I don’t care what you want to build on it. You come on my property… Where’s my shotgun?”

Henry Selick directed the film from a story idea that Burton came up with. The Nightmare Before Christmas tells the story of Jack Skellington, known as the King of Halloween Town as he stumbles upon Christmas Town with the idea of taking over the holiday.

The voice cast included Chris Sarandon as Skellington, Catherine O’Hara as Sally, William Hickey as Doctor Finkelstein, Glenn Shadix as the Mayor of Halloween Town, Ken Page as Oogie Boogie, Ed Ivory as Santa Claus, Joe Ranft as Igor and Paul Reubens as Lock.
