[Rumor] Disney looking to revisit The Nightmare Before Christmas, possibly live-action

Ignoring the set, this actually gives me faith a real human could full off a Jack portrayal. But how would the head look? Hmmm
Nah, Selick still needs to direct that stop-motion adaptation of The Graveyard Book.
Pretty please?

Do I need to go through your post history lol
It looks like a low-budget theater performance ... in that context i find the scene very fitting and well cast.
Still nobody needs a Live-Action movie!
By live action, do they mean real full scale plate footage and sets, but CG characters?
Because I suppose that works. But I'd rather have them go full stop motion if there is a sequel.

Yep.
I'd much rather have a fully stop motion sequel than anything related to a remake or live action for Nightmare.
Yep Disney is in a situation where the "bulk" of their films between their overhyped Marvel/Star Wars films are live action rehashes of their classics or hyped up sequels of their popular pixar/3d studio movies.
Hmm it's a perfect film that can stand alone forever ... otoh I would be lying if I said I didn't want to see them revisit this world.
Especially when I was a kid and saw the forest scene , all the other doors drove me crazy with excitement
I'm ao surprised they haven't come back to it yet

That cult-like following is because it's pretty damn great. :P
It's one of the most unique Disney films of the 90s. And that was during their 2D animation golden age.

My fiancee is a massive fan. Probably her favorite film. And I feel like every time we watch it, I say the same thing. "I can't believe Disney hasn't tried to do a sequel to this yet."
I can't fucking stand a nightmare before Christmas so I hope they do this and it's so awful people don't seek out the original anymore ❤️
I'm not really sure why they haven't. It's had a constant merchandise presence for as long as I can remember. Not even had a lame direct to dvd sequel.
Never going to happen. ✌🏻
My understanding from what people from Disney have told me is they literally can't unless Tim Burton OK's it. Because they have wanted to, desperately, for decades now.

Aside from Valentine Town, I don't see a lot of potential with the other doors.Hmm it's a perfect film that can stand alone forever ... otoh I would be lying if I said I didn't want to see them revisit this world.

If it is true that Disney can't make the sequel without Burton, maybe he's finally relented or he made a deal with Disney where he'd let them make a sequel if he gets to make something of his own? (Or, more appropriately, they'll let him make something he wants to in exchange for a NBC sequel) I wonder what the plot would even be
Making a sequel where Jack or anyone else from Halloween Town interferes with another holiday completely undermines the entire lesson learned in the first movie. Is Jack gonna be like "Ok that was a complete and total disaster and I learned a valuable lesson, but maybe this time--"

I don't need a James Cameronesque Nightmare Before Christmas Univserse with multiple sequels set in a different world haha . But I mean the Easter Bunny, Leprechauns, a Town of pure Americana, Pilgrims and " Indians", a town obsessed with love... sooooo much potential for a good one-off sequel.
You're not wrong I'm more just thinking out loud, so to speak. Burton has been extremely protective of this IP for over 25 years at this point. I don't know the details of why, if it's because he can't come up with a story or because he just doesn't/didn't want to, I just know they [Disney] have asked again and again to make a sequel and clearly they have never been told yes.
They could probably get away with something like, some new characters who weren't there for the first catastrophe, with or without the aid of Lock, Shock, and Barrel, escape Halloween Town and are wreaking havoc across all the holiday worlds and Jack has to stop them. They could also do a sequel that has absolutely nothing to do with other holidays at all, focusing on the return or rebirth of Oogie Boogie as he tries to get his revenge, or some other new evil creature trying to bring him back. Or even a prequel. What was Oogie Boogie, how did he come into the care of Lock, Shock, and Barrel, why was he trapped in what seemed to be a prison? Who of all the monsters, ghouls, and ghosts in Halloween Town deemed him worse than the others and in need of being locked up?
