I don't know that it's so much that they're "keeping it secret" (though that could be true, too) as that they simply don't feel obligated to give progress reports about something that is still under development. We already know that John August is writing the script and that as things stand now, Tim Burton is directing. That is pretty good info for now. I would love a hard confirmation from Johnny himself that he will star as Barnabas and that he hopes to bring something cool to the part. But other than that, there's probably not much else to tell at this point. Whatever other preliminary work they may be doing right now- I dunno, scouting locations? Designing costumes? could probably change drastically if they decide to change the script from whatever August is writing right now. All kinds of things might fall through or change completely from the original plans. So, I think it's pretty normal that we're only hearing things in bits and pieces. That said, if we do ever get to hear more, that'd be icing on the cake!
