Let me guess? You swore off Tim Burton long ago.

After the seventh or eighth adaptation of a disenchanted and lonely lead co-starring Johnny Depp, you cried “no mas” and shattered that copy of “Charlie’s Dark Sweeney Weenie in Wonderland” into a million little pieces?

So to that end, you probably think me crazy for wanting to come back for more, right?

I can’t help it. I look at things this way: The man has actually kept to a different corner of the sandbox from Johnny Depp for the second movie in a row. Not that I hated all of what they were doing, but clearly, they were in a rut. What’s more, he’s branching out a bit and choosing not to adapt some previously existing property. The last time he did that – a whopping eleven years ago – great things came from it.

So I don’t think we should write-off Mr. Bonham-Carter just yet…do you?

  1. Ha! This is great. I just saw this trailer yesterday at the theater, and I was totally surprised when I saw the name “Tim Burton” attached to it. I kept thinking Depp must have appeared somewhere in the background as a minor character, but I never saw him. This movie looks entertaining and interesting! I’m definitely looking forward to this one, and I like the pairing of Amy Adams and Christop Waltz.

    1. You mentioned elsewhere that you are drawn to actors when new projects come down the line. For me, it’s interesting pairings – actors I haven’t seen play off one-another before, such as we see here.

      Well, at least you and I will have something to look forward to, if few others as Andrew predicts.

  2. Sadly, test screenings were not that enthusiastic. I was really hoping this would be a great film, but apparently there are some tonal issues. Still, this looks like it could at least be good, and I’m happy that Depp isn’t attached. I’ll see it for sure!
