I am so excited! We have been discussing this on Facebook. My thoughts are even if the movie doesn't turn out to be wonderful it's going to bring great publicity to DS. I feel that it's going to revive our beloved fandom like the REVIVAL did. It brought some many new fans, like me, and it's going to bring attention to the original and I think that will get people interested in it. If I at 13 can fall in love with the original as well then I feel that younger fans of the new movie will as well. I feel like the movie will be great but I am just saying it's a win win situation. No publicity is bad publicity in my opinion! Can't wait....to hear and see more about this wonderful project. We should be so happy that our beloved DS was bought my an actor of Johnny's caliber. I am sure he paid a pretty penny for it. He is a fan and I feel he will do it justice. I know some are concerned about it being campy and not dark. However, I say take a look at SLEEP HOLLOW. Burton/Depp can do dark and I feel they will go this direction with DS.
Thanks for the links MB!
