"sleepy hollow", released in late 1999, had a supernatural setting and contained another performance by johnny depp as ichabod crane, a detective with an interest in forensic science rather than the schoolteacher of washington irving's original tale. with "sleepy hollow", burton paid homage to the horror films of the english company hammer films. christopher lee, one of hammer's stars, was given a cameo role. a host of burton regulars appeared in supporting roles (michael gough, jeffrey jones and christopher walken, among others) and christina ricci was cast as katrina van tassel. a well-regarded supporting cast was headed by miranda richardson, michael gambon, richard griffiths and ian mcdiarmid. mostly well received by critics, and with a special mention to elfman's gothic score, the film won an academy award for best art direction, as well as two baftas for best costume design and best production design. a box office success, "sleepy hollow" was also a turning point for burton. along with change in his personal life (separation from actress lisa marie), burton changed radically in style for his next project, leaving the haunted forests and colorful outcasts behind to go on to directing "planet of the apes" which, as burton had repeatedly noted, was "not a remake" of the earlier film.
