A spoonful of disappointment as we learn that the Mary Poppins / Tim Burton poster is a Hoax!

Over the past couple weeks a certain poster has been circulating across the web, of a sinister and dark re-telling of Mary Poppins from Director Tim Burton. We here at Beyond the Marquee have kept a tight lip on it, because in fact, our good friend and occasional contributor to the site; Sam Carter was behind this early April Fool’s prank. We know…you all were hoping for a Burton’esque twist on the beloved tale of the Practically Perfect in Every Way Nanny, but sadly, the poster was indeed a fake. The method behind the madness was all part of a fun (and shameless publicity stunt) to announce the next group pop art gallery; THE BURTON SHOW. Set to open November of this year at the Rothick Art Haus in Anaheim, California, this unofficial, non-affiliated tribute pop art show will feature various artist’s take on all the films of Tim Burton. Yes, even Planet of the Apes! If you can’t wait until November, we’re told there’s a huge show coming up on May 10th, at http://rothick.com. And be sure to check out POPcade, Orange County’s largest celebration of video game inspired pop art ever! For more information visit the POPzilla Gallery Facebook Page or SamCarterArt.com.
