Tim has a style like no one else in Hollywood, and tho his films DO appeal to a certain audience, again, you cant compare his artistry and his retelling of stories. In the world of film, originality is a rarity these days. I for one, look forward to this becoming reality because its Wicked meets Sleeping Beauty where we get to hear the OTHER side which right there should say, maybe it wont be like his other work.
A director doesnt hold the camera btw, but when a director/ writer takes on an idea, he risks the critics whether good or bad. As for me, working in the business you get to appreciate everything that happens behind the scenes which you would widen your perspective and appreciate things. Tim Burton is not top on my list of loving his work, BUT I do appreciate ones attempt at trying.
This is just my opinion and we definately all have ours to share, but as I said, should it greenlit, I am hoping to be on the films credits.
So without, Ms Maleficent, PLEASE tell us your side....
