I'm excited for this I love Burton. Planet of the Apes was one of the worst things I have ever seen though. I think this project reeked of Burton before he ever even came along. Its dark and childish which is everything Planet of the Apes isn't and everything Tim Burton is best at. I heard about it a year ago when he claimed that he was going to remake it with Marilyn Manson as the lead, and then he said it was just a big joke. Glad to see that he committed to it this time. It will be interesting to say the very least. I though his remake of Sleepy Hollow was pretty interesting and quite creative. Its not my favorite Burton, but its damn good. His best remake to date will always be Batman. What he did for Batman was absolutely incredible and Schumacher pissed all the darkness away to sell more toys. Ah well. Go Wonka. Go Burton.
