Actually, any type of speculation about the state of HBC's relationship with TB violates forum guideline #7:
7. These boards are not forums for the spreading of gossip or innuendo, or the defaming of the DS actors' private lives.
I realize that no one was intentionally meaning to defame them or to stir up gossip about them, but any and all ongoing speculation regarding their private relationship and how it may or may not impact the DS film should be ceased at once. - particularly when there is nothing to back it up but pure speculation.
And as for HBC trying to sabotage the film, I believe that was anything but her intent. As I said, the things she said with regard to the film sounded quite intriguing. And she, as we all are, is entitled to her opinions about the original DS. We may certainly not agree with them, but, as I also said, HBC is hardly the first to say something like what she said. She's not even the first among the DS film's personnel as Depp, Burton and Colleen Atwood have all said similar things. And I highly doubt any of those three intended their remarks to sabotage the film, either.
