“It was pretty surreal to have Timothée play my son, Edgar,” Ryder said about the commercial in a statement via Variety. “Timothée is an incredible guy — so talented and sweet. I felt a pretty instant bond with him.”
Burton added, “It’s rare when a work you’re proud of continues to live on and evolve with the times, even after 30 years. I’m glad to see Edgar coping with the new world! I hope both fans and those being introduced to Edward Scissorhands for the first time enjoy it.”
