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. |
Doesn't Batman technically count also? It wasn't really based on any of the comics directly.

Wikipedia says the screenplay was written by Sam Hamm, Warren Skaaren, and Jonathan Gems, based off a story by Sam Hamm. At that point his only feature films were PeeWee's Big Adventure and Beetlejuice, so they wrote this Batman movie and gave it to the hot young new director with the wacky goth look.
@pearljammer, HOLY CRAP he's remaking Frankenweenie? Okay I'm excited again.
