Interview: Frankenweenie ‘s Screenwriter John August

Screenwriter John August has spent nearly a decade collaborating with director Tim Burton and, in a new interview with ShockTillYouDrop.com, he discusses their partnernships, including Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Corpse Bride, Dark Shadows and, opening in theaters tomorrow, Frankenweenie.

The film, a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog, follows a young boy, Victor, who, unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life — with just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor’s fellow students, teachers and the entire town all learn that getting a new “leash on life” can be monstrous.
