Dirk Diggler up for Burton's PLANET OF THE APES

Hey folks, Harry here.... Seems that Mark Wahlberg is staring at an offer from Fox and Tim Burton to take part in PLANET OF THE APES. Now... Given that noone has seen the William Broyles draft yet, and given what part he's been offered is unknown... This news really doesn't mean a helluvalot. Is it the same part that Matt Damon was... awaiting the script before deciding upon? Or would this be in additon to the talented Mr Ripley? Ultimately the idea of having Ryan's Privates and Dirk Diggler in a flick together with an apey Devito... well... Once again... since noone seems to have a clue about the take or angle that they seem to be headed with this film.... Is it campy or serious? Is it a sequel, a prequel, a remake or a stand alone? Will it fit with what has come before or go somewhere entirely different? I don't know, but I do know that there's an offer to Wahlberg... and time will tell if he accepts.
