That said, Nicki Finke, who runs deadline.com, is usually pretty accurate, and she has connections and gets a lot of inside info.
I'm not really that familiar with deadline.com, so it's nice to hear the opinion of someone who is - and it's even nicer to hear that their info is pretty accurate. I'd still wish that they'd cite sources. But then, if a source is, say, an intern in a production company and not an actual producer, star, or even press representative, then it's fairly obvious why they're not cited as a source. And even though that wouldn't necessarily make their info any less accurate, like you -
I don't think I'll believe the Feb. start totally until it's reported in Variety or Hollywood Reporter, or comes from Johnny's or Tim's mouth.
- I'll be much more willing to believe when something/someone like one of those sources says it's so.
keeping' my fingers crossed...
You and me both.
And if the February start is accurate, it's not like it should be months and months before it's announced. The film industry is hardly one where films with major stars like Depp are made in secret.
(But the longer that goes by without an announcement, the less likely it is. Though the time for firm doubts has certainly yet to arrive...)
