Interesting that Burton said "It's gotta be right"-- which is what he kept saying during development of D'S. And they brought on Seth. Maybe this time they'll go the really ironic route and bring in John August!  (Though I doubt this would be his kind of project...) Speaking of August, I keep hoping that one of these days his original D'S screenplay will fall into my hands...

From what we learned before and during production of the Depp/DS film, supposedly the story in August's script is the same. The difference is that Grahame-Smith punched up the humor, much of which was already there. But I definitely agree that it would be interesting to see how different/how similar both scripts are to each other. And part of me is actually surprised that both haven't shown up on the Internet. At least not that we know of...

Sadly, no version of a DS script, but several scripts from several other films that people might want to check out:
