johnny depp AND crispin glover......

....oh my :)

I just found this out, read about it Here. (you have to page down after the jump)
Of Course Mice chatters knew about it two months ago.
This movie will definitely pack 'em in.
The cast is awesome, but I can't figure out which studio will be releasing it.

This seems a real natural for Burton. No doubt it'll be a huge hit.

Oh, look, Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter - gee, such compelling and unexpected casting, Tim....:rolleyes:

(Don't get me wrong; I love 'em both, but Burton seems to be repeating the John Ford-like pattern of constantly casting the same people in the lead roles in all his films...not that that's always a liability, it's just kinda predictable, is all...)

Tim Burton

This major career retrospective on Tim Burton (American, b. 1958), consisting of a gallery exhibition and a film series, considers Burton's career as a director, producer, writer, and concept artist for live-action and animated films, along with his work as a fiction writer, photographer and illustrator. Following the current of his visual imagination from his earliest childhood drawing through his mature work, the exhibition presents artwork generated during the conception and production of his films, and highlights a number of unrealized projects and never-before-seen pieces, as well as student art, his earliest non-professional films, and examples of his work as a storyteller and graphic artist for non-film projects. The opposing themes of adolescence and adulthood, and the elements of sentiment, cynicism, and humor inform his work in a variety of mediums—drawings, paintings, storyboards, digital and moving-image formats, puppets and maquettes, props, costumes, ephemera, sketchbooks, and cartoons. Taking inspiration from sources in pop culture, Burton has reinvented Hollywood genre filmmaking as a spiritual experience, influencing a generation of young artists working in film, video, and graphics.

Burton's films include Vincent (1982), Pee-Wee's Big Adventure (1985), Beetlejuice (1988), Batman (1989), Edward Scissorhands (1990), Batman Returns (1992), The Nightmare Before Christmas (as creator and producer) (1993), Ed Wood (1994), Mars Attacks! (1996), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Big Fish (2003), Corpse Bride (2005), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), and Sweeney Todd (2007); writing and Web projects include The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories (1997) and Stainboy (2000).
