Tim Burton Has No Interest in Making a ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ Sequel: ‘You Ain’t Getting This Property’

Tim Burton has no interest in revisiting his twisted holiday classic from 1993, “The Nightmare Before Christmas.”

In an interview with Empire Magazine published Tuesday, the helmer of Netflix’s “Wednesday” and “Edward Scissorhands” said that despite his experience doing reboots and sequels he doesn’t want that for Jack Skellington and co.

“To me, the movie is very important,” Burton said. “I’ve done sequels, I’ve done other things, I’ve done reboots, I’ve done all that s–t, 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.”

This coming from the auteur behind 2001’s “Planet of the Apes” movie, Disney’s live-action fairy tale “Alice in Wonderland” and DC Comics’ 1989 “Batman” — not to mention “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” “Dumbo” and “Sleepy Hollow.
