"Gamespot's rumor control reports that a movie based on LucasArt's critically acclaimed adventure game Grim Fandango might be in the works. If the rumor is true the movie will be directed by Tim Burton which would be a match made in heaven. Here's a quote which apparently comes from Tim Burton: "After that, I'm gonna start working on a new script that was sent to me recently: Grim Fandango. It sort of follows the style of The nightmare before Christmas (sic) and Corpse Bride. It's about a surreal land of the dead, some sort of purgatory where everyone goes when they die. In that place, dead people have to make a four-year transition before they can rest in peace for all the eternity. I still don't know when we're going to start filming this, though." This statement by Burton seems to be stringed together by several quotes from other interviews though so nothing is certain. We'll keep you updated on this of course. Check out the full Gamespot post here. " EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!! |

I'm not a fan of Burton but he's the man for the job. |

you're leaving out important bits there.. not only does the article say, as you have quoted.. "The problem is, the "interview" was actually a collection of quotes lifted from other press outlets." .. it then goes on to say.. "While several of the early quotes could be traced to this About.com interview with Burton, several of the others--including the Grim Fandango quote--remain of indeterminate origin and are therefore unverifiable." I wouldn't get too excited just yet. |

I just downloaded the game. I think I'll try playing it in the holiday.. after I discovered scummvm, my holiday will be a happy mix of nietzsche, kierkegaard and computer adventure games dotted with poirot and that new doctor who series. |

i did, yes i did! and yeah i know of the quotes' unknown origin and questionable validity, but the prospect of anything 'adventure' related still coming out of Lucas Arts whilst they're still raping the star wars corpse always makes me appreciate the games they did put out. Mastah, that sounds like a lovely summer. |
