Current Talk '24 I / Re: It's official: Dark Shadows returns as a film with Johnny Depp
« on: March 29, 2008, 03:14:00 AM »It seems a bit odd to me that they have yet to agree on a screenwriter for the film.
Selecting a screenwriter is a very important part of any film's development (well, unless the script was already written before the film was ever pitched to the studio ). I'd much rather that WB, Depp, King, et al. give the choice very careful consideration than simply hand it over to just anyone. (And truthfully, many films go through multiple screenwriters because the first, second, third or even farther along doesn't quite get everything right when it comes to what TPTB are looking for. But let's hope the Depp/DS film doesn't have to go down that road and that the first screenwriter does indeed end up being their perfect choice.)
