No! The fact that Burton has to REMAKE his earlier works is rather silly. He’s done nothing with original material in a long time…. Willy Wonka, Sweeney Todd, Alice in Wonderland, Dark Shadows, all use old material and now this remake of his own stuff. Argh, I wish for his glory days where he wrote and adapted new works — Ed Wood (1994), the original Frankenweenie, even The Corpse Bride…

Fair point. He has been rather caught up in the family favourites recently…
Or rather, creative malaise…. 😉
