By sheer coincidence I was sitting next to, most likely his agent, in a New York hotel a couple of years ago. I was just eating breakfast but this woman and another man were talking about The Witches and how he would be great for it.
I chewed my food very slowly this morning and listened in on what they were saying. It was a nice geek moment that my friend didn’t appreciate.

How the hell is Del Toro gonna handle: The Hobbit duo-movies, that vampire, trilogy, Pinocchio, and all the other crap he’s attached to these days? Somethings gotta give. Maybe you should stop reporting on Del Toro until one of these actually solidifies.

Also, the original movie is still good and there’s nothing CG or stop-motion is gonna do to make it better. Ridicockulous. I loved Roahd Dahl books & movies as a kid…here’s a movie that didn’t get made that the CG-era needs to do: The BFG. Yeah, they’d have to change the title but it’s about this giant that befriends a little girl.
