Thanks for the link, jimbo.
I'm not sure if we can go so far as to say no one knows - though one thing we
can say with assurance is that the reports from deadline.com and ign.com certainly conflict with each other.
But which is right, if even either one, is anyone's guess.
One says Burton likes the script - the other says he's still waiting for it. One says the Depp/DS film will begin in February - the other says Burton hasn't even decided whether he'll do the Depp/DS film or
Monsterpocolapse next. One doesn't list any sources - the other simply says things like "is said" and "they claim" and that's on a par with not citing any sources, so in that case it'a draw. But just who are these people saying and claiming? And how close to either of Burton's projects are they really? For all any of us knows, they could be people who really have no idea what they're saying and claiming who are merely speculating without any real knowledge. It you can believe what you read, such speculation goes on at every cocktail party, in every restaurant, and anywhere else that two or more industry types are present. But we can't always believe what we read, which is why I'm always saying that we should take so much of what's on these sites with a grain of salt. (And not that we can say with assurance that once again they're repeating info that's highly questionable, but ign.com
was one of the many sites that continued to report Depp was going to play the Riddler in the third
Batman movie even after denial after denial had come out.
But to complicate matters even further, that doesn't mean that 99.9% of the other reports they'd posted at the time weren't completely accurate.)
What will be interesting to see is how many other sites pick up ign.com's report and run with it...
wish we hear something from a reliable source.
Indeed! And if only...
