Despite scheduling conflicts with Burton's other project Dark Shadows , a revival of a 1960's vampire soap opera (yes this stuff existed before twilight, the search has already begun for a writer. According to Heat Vision, Burton will work with long time creative partner John August, writer of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , Corpse Bride, and Big Fish. No decision has been officially made regarding Burton's other commitments, but chances are we will be seeing a new rise of giant monster films in the years to come.
