Mai Gets Tim Burton

After completely missing the point with Alice in Wonderland, highly appreciated (by some) director Tim Burton now eyes Mai the Psychic Girl, an 1985 adventurous manga created by Kazuya Kudo and Ryoichi Ikegami. The history between Burton and the said manga seems to have deeper roots than one would originally think, with the production rights jumping back and forth between him and Sony since the late 1980s.



Now, after wrapping up his latest disappointingly non-loli project, Burton has all the time in the world to focus his skills on bringing Mai to the big screen, probably along with some very cutely designed backgrounds, a talking goth cat and a pink mushroom. Let's just hope Johnny Depp stays out of this one.
