About 10 years ago I bought my first DS convention video because I did not live close enough to go to any of the festivals and there was a discussion about the possibility of a DS movie. David mentioned he was a Depp fan and he really liked him in Sleepy Hollow. There was also a mention of Hugh Jackman as a good choice for the next Quentin ( I believe David's son JT mentioned it, as he had just seen the first X-Men). But from what I'm reading QC will not be a part of the new movie. Anyway, I am not a Depp or Tim Burton fan (with the exception of Pee-Wee's Big Adventure) but I like that there will be a new take on DS. I'm not someone who grew up watching it so maybe I come by the idea alot easier than those of you to which DS was a childhood favorite. But that's just my take. These days people are so quick to judge everything before it happens, and since Burton's last few films have taken some hits I think there's people out there assuming the new DS film is a mistake. Whatever they come up with, in my mind it's not going to tarnish the original. To be frank NODS and HODS are no masterpieces and here we are 30 plus years later.
