Maybe Depp and Burton’s shared disdain for Disney will bring them together again to make a fresh new original film. That’s the hope. The Burton/Depp partnership has given us great movies over the years, including “Edward Scissorhands,” “Sweeney Todd,” “Sleepy Hollow,” and, their magnum opus, “Ed Wood.” It seems harder and harder for a director to find himself an acting muse in today’s moviemaking landscape. Gone are the legendary collaborations that used to fire up the cinematic senses. I’m thinking Scorsese/De Niro, Wilder/Lemmon, Hitchcock/Stewart, Fellini/Mastroianni, Kazan/Brando, Brooks/Wilder, Kurosawa/Mifune, Ford/Wayne, Bergman/Ullmann, Herzog/Kinski, Leaud/Truffaut, Dietrich/Von Sternberg. What modern-day actor/director partnership could one day be deemed worthy of the above mentioned? Maybe I missed some, but here are the few modern-day collabs that I did find, most of which have the potential to be spoken of as all-timers in the years and decades to come: Martin Scorsese/Leonardo DicaprioWes Anderson/Bill MurrayPaul Thomas Anderson/Phillip Seymour HoffmanJoel and Ethan Coen /John GoodmanMichael Haneke/Isabelle HuppertRichard Linklater/Ethan HawkeQuentin Tarantino/ Samuel L.
