It was announced this week that Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie will open the annual Fantastic Fest on September 20th in Austin, TX.
The Disney film follows a boy who unexpectedly loses his beloved dog Sparky and harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life, with a few minor adjustments.
Fantastic Fest is the largest genre film festival in the U.S., specializing in horror, fantasy, sci-fi, action and “just plain fantastic movies from all around the world”. Past guests at the fest have included Paul Rudd, Bill Pullman, Kevin Smith, Jon Favreau, and Darren Aronofsky.
