Re Perez Hilton's brand of lunacy:
And it's not so much that Burton isn't enthusiastic - he's recently said more than once that he's excited about both the film and Depp playing Barn. it's more so that lately he's also been making comments like "I’m trying to find a certain tone, and we don’t know if we get it until we start it" (meaning, I presume, that he's not sure they'll get things right until they start to shoot) and "I'm not really sure what's happening yet" (which is a real head scratchier in light of his other recent remarks). Those remarks seem to downplay and to conflict with the ones that say he's excited and that he's finally getting a script with the right tone.
How sad. He may be claiming an effort to change his bullying ways, but apparently Perez Hilton still can't get his facts straight. He's reporting that if Depp can't work out his schedule to do the DS film, "Mark Wahlberg could be taking his place." But the fact of the matter is (as everyone else reporting that aspect of the situation is saying) it's not if Depp can't work out doing the DS film (he's already committed to it) - it's if he can't work out doing Triple Frontier that Mark Wahlberg might step into that film.
