RICK HEINRICHS (Production Designer) is one of film's most original and innovative visual artists, masterfully creating alternate universes entirely appropriate to his film's stories and settings. Heinrichs returns to “Pirates” following his remarkable work on “Dead Man's Chest,” which brought him both Academy Award and British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award nominations.
He won the Academy Award for his work on Tim Burton's “Sleepy Hollow,” for which he also won the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) and Art Directors Guild Awards, among others. He received another Oscar nomination and Art Directors Guild Award for his highly imaginative designs for “Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.” “Dead Man's Chest” also brought Heinrichs an Art Directors Guild Award nomination.
The creative collaboration between Heinrichs and Tim Burton dates back to their early studio days at Walt Disney Pictures when the two produced the animated short, “Vincent,” and theatrical short, “Frankenweenie.” They later teamed on Burton's first theatrical feature, “Pee-wee's Big Adventure” and then “Beetlejuice.” Heinrichs had already begun his climb up the film career ladder as set designer on “Ghostbusters II” and “Joe Versus the Volcano” in 1989, before teaming with his friend in the same capacity on “Edward Scissorhands” the next year.
In 1992, Heinrichs moved up to art director on Burton's “Batman Returns,” having previously done that job on “Soapdish.” He also served that year as visual consultant on “Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas.” Later, Heinrichs was production designer on Burton's hit remake of “Planet of the Apes.”
Heinrichs' other credits as production designer include “Hulk,” “Bedazzled,” “The Big Lebowski” and “Fargo.” He also worked as art director on “Tall Tale” and as set designer on “The Fisher King.”
