Filmmaker Tim Burton says his days directing movies for Hollywood studio Disney are over. The 64-year-old director, who started his career with the Mouse House as an animator straight out of college, recalled his experience of directing Disney's 2019 movie "Dumbo".

Sexual assault lawsuits against two Oscar winners actor Kevin Spacey and screenwriter-director Paul Haggis are underway in adjacent New York courthouses, where Spacey's defense rested Wednesday while lawyers for Haggis and his accuser gave opening statements. All of the men deny the allegations. A forcible touching case against another Academy Award winner, actor Cuba Gooding Jr, wrapped up in New York last week with a guilty plea to a non-criminal harassment violation and no jail time, to the dismay of at least some of his accusers. The confluence is a coincidence, but
