I wouldn't mind seeing either or both in the Depp/DS film. And several DS fans and I believe one other article have already suggested Anne Hathaway.
Getting back to 2D vs. 3D, there was an interesting development on Monday. It seems that Dreamworks' stock dropped significantly due to disappointment over the weekend boxoffice for How To Train Your Dragon. Only in Hollywood could a $43.7 million take be a "disappointment." But with Avatar opening to $77 million and Alice to $116.1 million, apparently expectations were high for similar opening numbers to continue. And considering they didn't, perhaps the industry will be reassessing if they want to put out as many 3D films as they were speculating just last week. I suppose a lot will depend on how Clash Of The Titans opens this coming weekend. Considering its demos are wider than Dragon's, I suspect there are huge expectations for it - probably even more so than there were with Dragon...
