This wasn’t the first time the couple had worked together. Just months prior, they teamed up for the film “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” with Burton directing and Bellucci starring as Delores. Burton’s signature gothic style, which permeates his work, was evident throughout the pages of the Italian magazine.<\/p>\n
“Whether we’re making a movie or doing a photoshoot, there’s an ease and excitement to our collaborations,” Burton shared with reporters. “Monica is a powerful force. You can achieve a lot quickly with her, thanks to our strong creative connection.”<\/p>\n
