Tim Burton says no way to 'Apes' sequel

By JAM! Movies

Anyone who has seen the remake of "Planet Of The Apes" knows the cliffhanger ending left the door wide open for a sequel, but director Tim Burton says he won't be the one crossing that threshold.

Reuters reports Burton told Britain's Independent newspaper Friday that his aversion to a sequel is related to his growing disenchantment with Hollywood studios.

"The idea of doing a sequel -- I'd rather jump out of the window, I swear to God," Burton told the paper.

"They give you a script, and you do a budget based on that, and say 'This movie would cost $300 million to make', and then they treat you like a crazy, overspending, crazy-person. It's like, 'Well, you gave me the script'," Reuters quoted Burton.

The only way to get your way in Tinseltown is to go "ballistic and psychotic," he added.

"I'm fascinated by the studio technique that sort of leaves you bloodied, beaten and left for dead right before you're supposed to go out and make a great movie for them."

So they don't need Burton, he doesn't own it, they could get a new director.

They could just get a new director and make it.
