Curiosities:
This was the last performance of the actor Vincent Price (Creator and Father of Edward) before dying due to lung cancer, on October 25, 1993 at 82 years of age. This role was created exclusively for him. As a tribute to his entire career, Tim Burton asked him to work for him as he admired his work.
The shoot was made in a real community in Florida, where about 50 houses were rented, making a change in the facades and gardens.
Although the choice for the role of Edward was always Johnny Depp, other actors were taken into account as Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr., Jim Carrey and even Michael Jackson to play the role.
Kim's role was to be starred in the beginning by Drew Barrymore, since Winona Ryder was going to make the Godfather III film by Francis Ford Coppola, but Johnny Depp convinced her to accept the role of Kim.
Edward's role played by Depp contains only 195 words. The makeup so white on the face was the idea of the actor himself, who says he was inspired by Chaplin.
In the scene where Edward escapes back to his home, the actor Depp fainted from exhaustion, by the heat so suffocating he did and because of the leather suit he wore.
The scene in which several neighbors feed Edward with giant spoons of food, caused the actor to get sick, since he had to perform about 20 times that scene which caused him to vomit.
Burton commented that the scene in which all the neighbors run after Edward almost at the end of the film, is a memory of the furious villagers in Frankenstein, even though he decided that they should not carry torches.
The character's scissors were quite heavy, so the costumes weighed a total of around five kilos.
Johnny Deep had to lose more than 11 kilos for the role of Edward.
For those who did not know Winona Ryder's hair is black so she changed her blonde color to do her performance.
Winona Ryder and Johnny Deep were engaged at the time of the recording of this movie.
It's all for today friends Steemians
