Agreed. It's gonna be a dark film, but then again EVERYTHING Burton makes is dark. I dooooon't think there's going to be children being murdered in this movie as the original post claimed. Johnny Depp is perfect for this role though, he's got that perfect blend of dark atmosphere and comic tone. Good stuff.
