Directed by Tim Burton • 1994 • United States
Starring Johnny Depp, Martin Landau, Sarah Jessica Parker
From director Tim Burton comes the hilarious and surprisingly touching true-life story of perhaps the most unique filmmaker in Hollywood history. With no budget, little technical skill, and an oddball collection of showbiz misfits, Ed Wood (Johnny Depp) refuses to let anything—unfinished scenes, terrible reviews, or hostile studios—derail his dreams of bringing future cult classics like GLEN OR GLENDA and PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE to the big screen. The all-star cast—including Bill Murray, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Patricia Arquette—includes Martin Landau in an Oscar-winning turn as horror legend Bela Lugosi.
