Burton's track record isn't exactly the best...Planet of the Apes, Dark Shadows (I know people could debate that one), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (I did watch this back to back with the original, and it felt lifeless compared to the one with Wilder in it - Sidenote - Freddie Highmore does make a good Norman Bates), and possibly an Addams Family remake - but that's a different story - its supposed to be stop motion.
Many of us got to see The Abominable Dr. Phibes last year at the horror marathon, and as much I like Depp, he's no Vincent Price.
I'll say that I'm highly skeptical.
You are 100% correct, there can be only 1 Vincent Price, however I think Depp can make the character his own, he is a great character actor. I liked Dark Shadows but was disappointed in it at the same time, it could have been so much better but I found it entertaining.
