Tim Burton Reveals His Strange and Disturbing Dreams of Getting a Haircut from Donald Trump

by

As a lifelong movie enthusiast who has witnessed the evolution of Hollywood through its highs and lows, I must admit that Tim Burton remains one of the most captivating figures in Tinseltown. His unique storytelling abilities have given us some of the most unforgettable films in the history of cinema, from the eerie charm of “Beetlejuice” to the dark allure of “Sleepy Hollow”.

One of Hollywood’s most brilliant creative minds is known for the wild tales that play out on screen, and it appears that even his dreams are just as extraordinary. During an appearance at the Marrakech Film Festival (as reported by Deadline), Burton was asked during a panel about what he often dreams of. It seems that getting a haircut from Donald Trump is one of those dreams.

Indeed, it appears that the film director renowned for his eerie fantasy films like “Beetlejuice,” “Sleepy Hollow,” and “Frankenweenie” has been experiencing rather unusual dreams involving the newly elected president. In a recent interview with the media, he shared these peculiar details:

I had dinner at Donald Trump’s suburban residence, not Mar-a-Lago. Since I needed a haircut, he himself provided the service. The result was an unusual style resembling a mullet, complete with his own hair too. When I awoke, it seemed like a dream.

It is not unusual to wake from strange, vivid dreams with a sense of disorientating uncertainty about whether it was actually real or not. It is easy to imagine that this dream was one Burton needed a few minutes to get over, as unlike many such dreams that very quickly fade into the ether, his seems to have lingered on. Who knows, perhaps there’s a film in there somewhere.

Tim Burton Scored His Biggest Hit in Years with ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’

In the eyes of many directors, multiple box office bombs can lead to feelings of being washed out from the industry. Tim Burton has experienced this predicament throughout his career. When he directed Disney’s Dumbo remake in 2019, there was hope that he could recapture the massive success he achieved with Alice in Wonderland. However, the film underperformed due to a string of unfavorable critiques, leaving many to think that Burton’s Hollywood career might be nearing its end. He had previously expressed:

frankly, following Dumbo, I was at a loss. I truly believed that might have been the final project. I could have chosen to retire, or perhaps pursue something else, but returning as an animator just wasn’t on the table anymore.

As a fan, I can’t help but reminisce about the unexpected impact “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” had on us. This film catapulted itself onto the box office scene like a bolt out of the blue, managing to outshine numerous newcomers and maintain its number one position for weeks on end. By the time the final curtain fell on its cinematic run, the Michael Keaton sequel had amassed an impressive $425.5 million globally, securing a place among the director’s most lucrative films in history.

Earlier reports hinted at Tim Burton possibly directing a remake of the sci-fi film “Attack of the Fifty-Foot Woman”, but he’s been vague about it, stating that the fast-paced nature of Hollywood makes it difficult to confirm projects until he’s actually working on them. In other words, until Burton is physically involved in the production, we can’t be certain if this project is indeed his next move. So while there’s a possibility, nothing is set in stone until Burton confirms it himself.
