Johnny Depp is to co-host a tribute to acclaimed filmmaker Tim Burton.
The three-time Oscar nominee, who has starred in seven of Burton's films including Edward Scissorhands, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and the upcoming Alice In Wonderland, will chair the star-studded ceremony with Tim's long-term partner, Helena Bonham-Carter.
The glittering gala dinner - which is expected to see Hollywood stars James Franco, Danny DeVito, Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen and Miranda Kerr - will take place at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York on November 17.
Tim's directorial work and 27-year career is also the subject of a MoMA exhibition taking place from November 22 until April 26, 2010.
The exhibit will trace and celebrate his visual imagination, and will feature his earliest childhood drawings through his later works. 700 rarely or never-seen-before drawings, paintings, storyboards, moving-image works, puppets, maquettes, costumes, and cinematic ephemera will be shown.
