And it won't be better if Johnny Depp plays the scarecrow.
Dammit!

I'm trying to find out how true it is, and its not there in his IMDB (but he's producing Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter apparently XD), I did find articles saying that there are FIVE Wizard of Oz movies to be made over the next five years! Burton is apparently rumored to direct one and so is Drew Barrymore...and Angelina Jolie as The Wicked Witch Of the West? *shudder*
I'm really looking forward to Wicked, although I'd rather they did it like the book instead of the musical, but I think Return To Oz was okay enough for a sequel and that should be that, remake that if you must or do another one of the books. And no Angelina Jolie.

See, I'm okay with Wicked, which is a marvelous invention by looking at the story from a different perspective. And producing movies from the sequel books makes sense to me. I didn't have much use for Tin Man, but mostly because I found it slow and draggy, but I give them credit for telling a different tale. But there is no need to redo the Wizard of Oz. Nobody needs to remake Citizen Kane or Casablanca or Some Like It Hot or It's A Wonderful Life ... (well, someone tried to remake that one ... and it sucked.)
Bleh.

No reason for anyone to be confused by Inception. At least in my opinion. It's pretty straight forward with it's complexity.

Yeah I imagine they're going to do all the books... -shrugs- I enjoyed Return to Oz, but I guess if they're going to do the rest they figure they might as well remake the old ones like the Narnia movies... No idea why..
And agreed Ben, I think my first pick for scarecrow would be Paul Bettany. But I really like Paul Bettany and kind of hope Christopher Nolan also picks him for the Riddler as well, he's really the only person I can see doing it.

You haven't seen Braveheart until now! It surprised me immensely.
I do like that film though, espescially the beginning where the bride who is taken by the lord on her wedding night, pushes the swords down and say's goodbye to her husband, thus saving him, quite touching..

Inception was Matrix-y.

Love the fact that he gets to slaughter the noble who slept with her. I actually started shedding a tear 10 minutes into the movie when Murron gave the flower to William, when they were younger.

*spoiler*
At the end you see the top continue to spin but then hear it bobble when it cuts to credits insinuating that the ending was real. BUT the children are the same age and in the same clothing as they were in his memories..therefore making it seem like it's unreal. But him and the asian guy could possibly still be in limbo...or the whole dream was a job by Mason, to get Leonardo's character to admit that he didn't kill Moll...

Just got back from Inception. Nolan has indeed shoved his cock in my ear and blew my mind.
At least, when I was able to pick myself off the floor after repeatedly swooning for Cillian Murphy.
Oh, and vindi, I read that they intended for it to be real, I need time to process the movie in full though.

Cillian Murphy is indeed cute and I thought Leo was the only temptation to see the movie.
