Director - Nicole Kassell (born 1972)

[Christina]

I read how she's excited to be a part of this.  I hope she follows in the footsteps of Tim Burton, but yes everyone's different of course.  Most directors seem to have a signature feel.  I hope she is dedicated to the feel of the original-  Not claiming I know exactly why that would be something to aim for, whatever she does I will like it.  The people online seem to be apprehensive, as usual, about remakes, as is always the case it seems somewhere.  Strangely, people don't vie for remakes because they think it ruins the feel of the original.  Also, she is from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and mostly afterwards Virginia.  She has maybe a Masters in Art History!  So, she's an artistic match for Tim Burton!!!  Also, her dad did 2 brain surgeries on Joe Biden (current President of the US) and they still are friends.
