Now this looks like my kind of film. Definitely going to see that when it comes out.

We saw Lady in the Water this week, by the way, which was AWFUL! Slow, incredibly didactic and with a batshit crazy plot. It played like it was trying to be a sort of creepy horror film, but if you persist in poking at the 4th wall in that kind of thing it just doesn't work. It has to be imersive and this so wasn't. Also, if M. Night is going to make up his own fairy tales he should get a lot better at naming his mythical creatures.

That's a toughie; see, to my mind Depp looks a bit too young and svelte. After all, Todd's been transported for something like 15-20 years, and has generally been very weathered &c - by the time he returns, Johanna his daugher is c. 18yo. And can Depp sing such an operatic role, I ask myself? I have no idea. I think Mandy Patinkin might do it very well - he's excellent in "Sunday in the Park with George" in the title role, and can sing... My head has still got Thomas Allen in it as Todd, however. I shall have to think on.
