I would have to guess that TPTB gave some plot line ideas to August in order for him to write a script. We will never know exactly what the timeline was when the script was discussed.
The IMDB page for the DS 2010 indicates that the status of the movie as "in production"
Just think, in 1840, it's Judah doing that to Ben, having him write in Judah's journal
what does Emily Post recommend that one say when one has tried to murder one's host? "Oh, dear, how rude of me, I should have waited until we were neutral territory."
Although August was unable to start writing the script until February 12, 2008 this gave him enough time to really think about the storylines in his mind.
This article in December, 07, August had stated at his website that he was working on a secret Tim Burton live action movie project and he himself could not divulge its name. Was it DS?

And, to be pefectly honest, I don't want to see people hired because they're just a bunch of young "hot stuff." I never saw the aborted 2004 WB pilot; however, while it was being developed, I was very uncomfortable with some of the people they casted to play the characters. To me, many were just a bunch of Beverly-Hills-90210 (or whatever that zipcode is) clones, making it look like Melrose-Place-Meets-Buffy. I don't know if that's how the pilot turned out (because I didn't see it)
