Thanks so much for the link, jimbo.
Interesting that the report says Burton "likes" Grahame-Smith's script. And also that now the film will begin in February. Both are great news - if true. But I'd feel a lot more confident about all that if the article cited at least one source for these things. But then, this is deadline.com, the same site that said the film would begin shooting in January but never bothered to cite any sources for that claim either.
But I'll certainly be keeping my fingers crossed that the report is accurate...
