Thanks for the link, Sara.
Should we be surprised that Pierson mentions DC more than he does Depp and Burton? Uh, no. But one DC-related remark definitely caught my ear and that was that everyone involved with the film is committed to making a film that DC would be proud of. And say what you will about DC (and we certainly have) but he would not like a film that makes fun of DS - so hopefully that means that any idea that the film will parody DS can be tossed out the window with a great deal of relief. Hopefully, anyway...
I also loved how, after KLS asked if Pierson knows the direction the storyline is going to go, he said it's under wraps (well. DUH!) but it's something that everyone is going to enjoy. From his mouth to you know who's ears!
