As much as I adore Tim Burton, and love his genius, I could not see him directing DS.  The morbid and freaky factors would go through the roof!  

I agree with Miles 23 that my first choices for directors have been a bit too hard core sci-fi. But when I was thinking of directors, I was thinking of people who could slip into the series with a hand at the sci-fi, strange and soapy.  As well as people who could probably use a little variety to their resume.  

My hubby, the crypytkeeper, thinks I'm nuts when I do my casting for the show.  I'm making a spreadsheet of actors I 'd love to see in a new series.  He keeps bugging me to get a script written.  He's convinced I'd do a great job.  (I love putting him on the spot! )

I can't agree with Chris Carter.  I just can't.  And I don't know why.  Sweetheart, what do you think about John Carpenter?  That's an interesting suggestion.  But I have been thinking of a series, not a movie.  Could he make that transition?

Goddess, the possibilities are endless!
