Tim Burton to direct a film adaptation of the book How to Disappear Completely and Never be Found

- Such a marvelous book. It has a beautiful setting, wonderful characters, and is a great read through and through.

I would love to see Johnny Depp play Ratt and Helena Bonham Carter play Lizzie. Abigail Breslin would have been the perfect Sophia a few years ago and if Wynona Ryder were still 12 she would be a perfect Margaret.

Too bad everyone's getting old.





A film adaptation of the musical Chess

- A powerful story. It's unfortunate how unknown this musical is.

Adam Pascal is still young enough to play Freddy Trumper if he wanted, but I think that up and coming star Griffith Frank would also be a great Freddy. If Penelope Cruz can put on a Russian accent she would be a great Svetlana and Marion Cotillard could work as Florence.

It would be an amazing film.

  1. As far as acting goes, I think Marion Cotillard would be awesome as Florence, but I don't know that she has the vocal range for it. I actually think I'd like to see her as Svetlana more than I would Penelope Cruz (Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love love love her, I just don't know if she's suited for the role as much as Marion)
