For me the interpretation of the use of the word "funny" to describe the film depends on the context. At times I certainly think the person using the word means the film will be weird or strange. However, in other case they certainly mean funny as in generating laughs. And I certainly think generating laughs is the way HBC meant it in these latest remarks. But we know there are definitely supposed to be funny elements in the script. (How could something like Mrs. Johnson polishing silverware with bologna be for anything but laughs?) But as we've said before, the original show was not without its intentionally humorous moments - and there was certainly intentional humor in the '91 Series. So, humor in the film's script doesn't frighten me so long as the humor is along the same lines as has been done in DS before. Though it probably shouldn't also go without being said that there's always the possibility that what is in the script and what was shot won't all necessarily end up in the film in the same way as the script may have intended it to be. Editing can change the feeling and intent of almost any scene. No one will really know what sort of funny weird or funny ha-ha there will be in the film until we see the finished film...
