Ella or whatever her name is will ruin the show.I cant believe how fake her accent is along how way young she looks, the original Aurora looked more mature..She looks NOTHING like Princess Aurora :/ and those eyebrows (shivers) they give me nightmares..sell least Angelina Jolie will be on it =o

Please NO, don't remake this classic and attach that thing that sleeps with Brad Pitt to it.

I know it was his live-action debut, but he's still directed two previous (extremely well-regarded) films, and served as co-director on a third. That's WAY different from someone who's never directed a movie taking on a major tentpole like this. In any case, moving from directing animated films to live-action certainly didn't hurt Brad Bird. The way you put it, you're making a broad and unfair implication that somehow Stanton's failure on "John Carter" somehow proves something – that just because he failed, that means that it's intrinsically a bad idea to hire a successful animated director to helm a live-action film. Which is absurd on your part.

And that's aside from the absurdity of the direct comparison you drew between the two situations anyway. Production designer-to-director = Animated director-to-live-action-director? Hardly. If you wanted to make any comparison in that regard at all, how about production designer Bo Welch taking the helm of "The Cat in the Hat," with disastrous results?

Kevin – Maybe I missed something, but can you clarify that statement about "taking that approach with 'John Carter'"? The JC director certainly did not come from production design, nor was he making his directorial debut, so I'm not sure what that comment means. Maybe it refers to something from earlier in that movie's long, slow development, I don't know. Just wanted to clarify.

I would love to see Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie battle it out as evil queens. My money is on Theron just because she's a far better actress than Jolie.
