Oddly enough, there's also a biopic about circus creator P.T. Barnun coming out next year, starring Hugh Jackman.

None as moustache twirling as this appears to be.

This isn't Burton, my man. This is Disney forcibly buying names to give their 1:1 """remakes""" credibility. Fucking Guy Ritchie is slated for an Alladin adaption.

Wyatt Lewis
The most important question is...
