http://movies.yahoo.com/mv/news/va/20080924/122231030000.html

It's live action/CG animation and Johnny Depp will play the Mad Hatter.  made by disney.

will it be kid friendly?  I hope Tim burton stays true to himself and make a dark "Alice in wonderland"

Maybe this means johnny depp will not be playing the "riddler".

Well, it's sure to be win-win all around. As usual.

Does Johnny Depp make a bad movie? Does Tim Burton?

Or check out my new webcomic: http://selfcentent.com/

I would expect something along the lines of Charlie in the Chocolate Factory in tone. I am definitely looking forwad to this.

Willy Wonka was kind of mediocre, but that was more the songs and the Oompa Loompas being crappy. It just didn't feel like a natural kids movie like the original did. A lot of the story elements were actually pretty good.

I love when Burton and Depp get together. No one except those two could make a movie like Ed Wood or Edward Scissorhands to name a few. Sweeney Todd was surprisingly good too, but by no means perfect.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

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.

totally agree.

however, Big Fish is one of my favorites.  And his remakes are remarkable, except Charlie and . . .

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?

 



The Burton Batman movies have aged so poorly...Big Fish was awesome though, really different kind of territory for Tim Burton.

I agree with Rubang's assessment that most of his best movies were self-written.

Planet of the Apes was by no means a good movie, but it could have been worse. Or at least I will keep telling myself that...

And for the record Pee Wee's Big Adventure is AWESOME.  Even my mom likes it.
