He's got the talent to make it in live action like Tim Burton and then he'll have his choice to direct one or the other in the future.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-23963945832778281922010-05-07T12:36:34.968-07:002010-05-07T12:36:34.968-07:00This is actually good for Bird, because he can dir...This is actually good for Bird, because he can direct a movie AND get rid of his thetans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-82212658165006741962010-05-07T12:24:31.796-07:002010-05-07T12:24:31.796-07:00This is unfortunate.
