Not an entire book but I believe there's a nice beefy chapter on it in David Hughes' The Greatest Sci-Fi Movies Never Made, which I haven't read, but I did read his follow-up, Develoment Hell, which I found to be excellent. (The latter includes a juicy account of the similarly aborted Jon Peters Sandman adaptation.

A sharp navy blue tailored suit, red overcoat with golden lining and/or piping, Eye of Aggomotto pendant, done. Also I think long hair would be a nice look for Strange.

It's a slippery slope, man, first Sawa does Gargoyles and the next thing you know we're reading reviews of "Darkwing Duck"

No thanks!

My understanding is that as soon as Burton and Cage came aboard the Kevin Smith script was ditched entirely.

Did you see it at a festival or during its VOD window? I liked it okay but I think the screenplay shines more than the direction.

Clancy Brown as Pete Bondurant
Woody Harrelson as Kemper Boyd
William H. Macy as Ward Littell

I would have preferred a spoiler alert.

Violence At Noon is the only one of his works I've seen but I thought it was badass.

If they had had the time to get into it, it would have been interesting to explore. I generally assume that Annie was something born of Clayface's backgound as an actor—maybe her persona was originally part of some Method exercise he had done in drama class once and for whatever reason he reverted to that when the…
