Considering that there haven't been any posts concerning the details of the Depp/DS Fest panel, I'm taking that to mean that there wasn't much if any new information imparted and it was basically info that those of us following the progress online already knew.
Well, at least some of the fans who don't read/partake of the various online message boards and lists are now up to speed. But I was hoping for a bit more info, like maybe a hint as to what sort of direction the script might take (i.e. a present day story involving Barn's release, or possibly a period story dealing with Barn being cursed). Given that the script is being worked on, surely they at least know that. But alas...
Although, I suppose I shouldn't be at all surprised by the lack of new details because, well, that's basically par for the course for the Fests.
I guess we'll just have to learn to be extremely patient.
