| The Ghost of RubangB said: Meh. Not news. Let me know when he actually has another idea. I'm sick of these remakes. Tim Burton hasn't had an original idea since Mars Attacks! in 1996? I mean, I know it was loosely inspired by a series of trading cards, but that was definitely an original Tim Burton film. Everything since then was either written by somebody else, or it was a remake of a book, a legend, or a film, or in the case of Big Fish, it was an adaptation actually adapted by someone else for him. In fact, now that I think of it, he only wrote 5 of his 12 (soon to be 13) movies, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Ed Wood, and Mars Attacks!. Now that I noticed this trend, it's no surprise those are my favorite 5. This guy should write another movie instead of just shopping around "the Time Burton style" which isn't even original. |
Agreed. If he does as bad a job on this as he did on Charlie...then I'll never anticipate another of his films. And looking at his filmography I think yopu hit the nail on the head. Of course...I also liked Pee Wee's Big Adventure....but then again...it was written by Paul Reubens and Phil Hartman—how can you go wrong?
