Based on a 19th-century Eastern European folk tale, Bride is described as an offbeat fable about a young man who inadvertently becomes betrothed to a corpse. Burton is attached to produce the movie, which is being adapted for the screen by Caroline Thompson (Burton's Edward Scissorhands) and directed by first-time helmer Mike Johnson.

 Johnson, whose best-known directorial effort is the foam-animated Primus music video The Devil Went Down to Georgia, worked in the claymation department at San Francisco-based Skellington Productions during the creation of the Burton-produced features The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach.
