Quoted from cheshirefilms:I like the style of Burton's Alice, but as a theme I think it's even lesser than PoTC, in my view anyway. The first film made good money, the second film kind of tanked.
At least as POTC goes, those films- at least the first trilogy- were undeniably blockbusters. And the first was actually critically acclaimed. Burton didn't even return for the second Alice.
Jack has to think about marketability for long term sales. When he started Hobbit- his least financially successful effort to date- he had good reason to believe the Trilogy would have a massive audience.
Don't think he could say the same for Alice.
Agreed. While i love the idea of AiW as a JJP game (and have said it would be perfect for them before), the Burton version would be a turn off to a lot of people (myself included). Its actually one of the few ways they could do it that would make me pretty much uninterested in the title. They should really stick to original and unlicensed for this one, imo.
