Tim Burton isn't remaking a beloved cult film, he is doing an
adaptation of a beloved cult book that has been adapted to film
before. That other adaptation became a beloved cult film in itself,
but was much less closer in spirit to the original book than Burton
has the potential to be. Just thought I'd clarify. As I will
continue to do so for anyone I encounter who regards the '70's movie
as the real thing. I have a lot of work on my hands, but I'm taking
every small step I can.
