I dont know if you all know this, but the remake is based on the book not on the original movie. The book is more dark and evil than what the original movie shows, and Burton is doing what should have been done a long time ago. A movie more like the book, and not a movie that is all happy and lovey. I am telling a lot of people this, b/c i dont want them dissapointed when they see that the movie isnt AT ALL like the original, b/c it wont be. I am really REALLY excitied for this movie, not only am i a HUGE fan of tim burton, but also i love the book. The original movie was pretty good, but nothing compared to the book.
