Robert Downey Jr. In Talks To Star In Tim Burton's Live Action PINOCCHIO

Depp will play the little wooden [frick]er.

oh god,they love throwing crap in our cinemas dont they

and also,there are about 2/3 versions of a live actions pinocchio,whats the point

Tim Burton, you say?.... I won't see it.

Burton has lost his creativity.

All he can do is re-make , re-tell, re-boot and re-hash material.

Probably re-make 'Dumbo' next.

Tim Burton will make this horrific, I wish he'd just fvck off already.

I dunno what to think of this. I'm guessing Depp is gonna be Pinnochio and Danny Elfman Is gonna be the music composer.

Batman, Pee-Wee Herman's Big Adventure, and Beetlejuice are my only favorite Burton films.

Can anyone remember Tim Burton's last somewhat original film he did?

Lol@ Thor.

I don't mind the fairy tale movies...Because I love fairy tales.

But, Robert Downey Jr. in Pinocchio?
That is weird...

Never been a Pinocchio fan though.
So, whatever...It would be interesting to see who would play the Blue Fairy!

Ohhh God..

Yes, it was Big Fish and it is easily Burton's best movie in the past 20 years. I actually enjoyed that movie, because it wasn't completely gothic or weird. I wish Burton would make more movies like than, instead of his assembly line of unnecessary remakes with a gothic edge.

SEARCHING FOR WOOD.

I bet anything Johnny Depp talked him into this.

I'm sick of Burton but that doesn't mean he hasn't made some great movies, in fact his good far out-ways the bad imo. Both Batmans, Beetlejuice, Ed Wood (a damn masterpiece), Big Fish, Nightmare Before Christmas, Sleepy Hollow and Sweeny Todd are all movies I enjoyed a great deal.

Let's see if his "good" out weighs his bad.

Good:
Beatlejuice
Big Fish
Ed Wood (I'll give that to you for arguments sake)
Batman 89 (another one I will give to you, because at the time I loved it. However, it does not hold up well at all).

Bad:
Planet of The Apes
Alice in Wonderland
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Batman Returns (sorry man this movie was awful in every way shape and form in my opinion).

The Mediocre:
Sleepy Hollow
Sweeny Todd
Pee Wees Big Adventure
Edward Scissorhands
Mars Attacks
Corpse Bride

I would say his good and bad cancel out and all that is left is a mediocre director, who acts like he is better than he truly is.

Also, I left out nightmare before Christmas because Burton co wrote and had a hand in the design of the film. He did not direct it, and I think if he had it would have been a much worse film. I know I hate on Burton a lot, it's just that I feel he doesn't work as hard as he can. He has phoned in his last 3 movies, and instead of trying to write original material like Big Fish, he resorts to just terrible remakes.

I thought Edward Scissorhands was really good until the dull ending.
