Current Talk '24 I / Re: It's official: Dark Shadows returns as a film with Johnny Depp
« on: September 03, 2009, 03:55:00 AM »it seems to me like he knows full well the amount of commitment it is taking to complete this film in a way that he will be satisfied with, and he has no intention of dividing his attention and going halfway on either project. Personally, I would rather have it this way. He is going to give his all for the production of Alice, so that he can then give his all to DS.
Exactly.

Meanwhile, DS hasn't really been dangling in the wind- they have shaped up a script that sounds like it's nearly finished (Johnny's interviews have described it as "very, very close", which gives me the impression they may still be tweaking a bit). They are probably doing lots of things behind the scenes, despite Tim's remarks.)
True. Just because Burton has his plate full right now with AiW doesn't mean that others involved in the production aren't thinking about and working on various things. We know for one that John August has certainly been working on the script - and we also know that he's had meetings with Depp and Burton over the script. So obviously right there we know that Burton has indeed given thought to the film. I doubt he sat quietly with his hands folded and stared off into space while August and Depp discussed things.
