GF was 'the best adventure'. Hard to make a movie inspired by it, but Tim has the potential. I hope he preserves the whole Film Noir atmosphere and doesn't turn everything into a weird comedy like Corpse Bride.
I wonder who will play Glottis |

Can that be for real? that would be so awesome! tim burton would be the most perfect person to direct a grim fandango movie...
Also, since the movie would be hugely popular (because it would be a Tim Burton movie). This would probably conjur up interest in the game, maybe prompting a re-release, and perhaps a sequel? Having said that, the sequel would no doubt be 3d, and involve fighting/shooting, to try and appeal to the new found non-adventuring audience it would attract due to the movie... talk about jumping to conclusions |

How about Alan Blumenfeld for Glottis and Tony Plana for Manuel? Oh, I know, Maria Canals for Mercedes!

After all, it probably will be stop-motion animation, so why not? |

Check out that site, people. It has ZERO credibility. Please don't spread this rumour any further.

I've done some searching, and there is no mention ANYWHERE else on the web about this rumor. AFGNCAAP is right, this is a hoax. Makes me sad though :-(

Burton's Grim Fandango Movie?!

Woulden't that be amazing? Tim Burton would be the only person I would trust to direct a Grim Fandango movie. This is quite exciting.

*IF* this is going to be made (which would be awesome), then I hope that they again hire Tommy Piper to be the German voice of Manny, like they did for the game.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not hoping it for me, but I'm hoping it for them. Seriously, if they don't hire Tommy Piper as the voice of Manny, I'm afraid I'll be forced to go postal upon them. -

That Gamespot piece is pretty skeptical, pointing out the dubiousness (is that a word) of the blog item and the fact it was pieced together from other interviews.

Gotta love how Gamespot admits the only known source for the rumour is useless, but people will now go on to report it as if GS had actually confirmed the news.
To be exact, the following passage: Quote:

If Burton doesn't make the movie, that would be the biggest adventure disapointment.

So why doesn't someone here start writing a GF movie screenplay and REALLY send it to Burton?
I mean, they made the Monkey Island movie with Depp, so why not GF? Or maybe they'll make the Loom movie first |
