Tim Burton's Frankenweenie to open 56th BFI London Film Festival
23 August, 2012

Featuring the return of everyone's favourite lady neo goth
After the unmitigated disaster that was the celebrity-saturated 360, the BFI London Film Festival, seems to be putting their opening gala to good use this year with Tim Burton's slightly dark but mostly funny, Frankenweenie.
The black and white, stop-motion animated film (in 3D fo sho) sees a boy bring his dead dog back to life with the help of faux science and a little lightning.
To our surprise, the film does not feature Helena Bonham-Carter or Johnny Depp BUT guess who's back...back again...it's Winona Ryder folks, the very one.
The 56th BFI London Film Festival runs from 10th-21st October.
