Visionary Hollywood director Tim Burton - best known for heading up work on blockbusters like Edward Scissorhands, Batman, Planet of the Apes and Alice in Wonderland - has revealed he's set to turn on the equally famous Blackpool Illuminations this year.
Burton has previously described himself as "Blackpool Pleasure Beach's biggest fan" having shot scenes for US band The Killers' music video Here with Me there and, more recently, his latest film Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.
The event itself will take place on September 4 following a concert featuring the likes of UK acts The Vamps, Lawson and Professor Green.
