Blackpool 'a pleasure' for Burton

Tim Burton has said it was "a pleasure" to film in Blackpool for the video of the new single by the Killers.

Last month the acclaimed filmmaker directed the video for single Here With Me, which features many landmarks in the resort.

It stars Hollywood actress Winona Ryder, British actor Craig Roberts and a waxwork of Winona.

Writing on his Facebook page, Burton said: "The first time I saw the Killers perform live was in Blackpool, UK, shortly after completing work on our first collaboration, the music video for Bones.

"When I heard the song Here With Me, I remembered seeing a wax figure of Winona in Louis Tussaud's Waxworks in Blackpool.

"The concept of the video is inspired by the 1935 film Mad Love, starring Peter Lorre, as well as the works of Mario Bava. It was a pleasure to film in Blackpool and to work with the Killers, Winona Ryder and Craig Roberts."

Filming took place at a number of locations across the resort including Blackpool Pleasure Beach and the Blackpool Tower Dungeon, with the band's scenes shot in the Blackpool Tower Ballroom.

Winona and Burton worked together previously on his films Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands.
