Burton & Depp versus Jim & Arnold

tim burton and johnny deppIn honor of the opening of Tim Burton and Johnny Depps’ Alice in Wonderland tomorrow, the always superb Vulture blog catalogs Cinema’s 15 Greatest Actor/Director pairs. Cameron & Schwarzenegger; Scorsese & DeNiro; Allen & Farrow–they’re all there.

We won’t spoil the whole piece for you, but here’s a fun tidbit from the entry on John Landis & Eddie Murphy:

We’ll let Landis explain this one: “The guy [Murphy] on Trading Places was young and full of energy and curious and funny and fresh and great. The guy on Coming to America was the pig of the world — the most unpleasant, arrogant, bullshit entourage … just an asshole.” Amazingly, they did actually work together again after that (on Cop III), but it’s safe to say it ain’t happening again.
