on May 18 2006 04:52 AM Brilliant book but I bet they will not be keeping the unhappy ending, just like in the first movie adaptation (Reply to this) |
on May 18 2006 05:45 AM Excuse me Mr. Weinberg, but don't you mean director Guillermo del Toro the one who filmed hellboy?. It would sure surprise me that the actor Benicio del Toro, would take his first stab at filmaking in such a visual film without any expirience directing any film. (Reply to this) |

on May 18 2006 08:05 AM If they do for "Witches" what Burton did for "Charley..." I will be the first in line to see it. (Reply to this) |

on May 18 2006 07:52 PM If Cuaron was doing the entire thing himself... then I would be happy. Too bad I guess... (Reply to this) |
on May 20 2006 04:41 AM I wish Burton was the one to remake this movie too =( Oh well. I guess that's not a problem though. But who's gonna be the witch... (Reply to this) |
