Wow, imagine the mess Hollywood could make of THAT one!

Of course, Hollywood options come and go, and most optioned works never actually get filmed. MARTIAN CHRONICLES, FAHRENHEIT 451, ILLUSTRATED MAN, DANDELION WINE: they're all out there in some kind of development hell.

Interesting. As philnic said, this could be a big mess. But one never knows. Though their track record isn't great, folks in Hollywood occasionally get stuff right. Of course, it will probably never get made, like so many films.

PLEASE tell me Tim Burton is not directing Johnny Depp as Uncle Einar in a comedy version!

Haha! You know, there was a time when a Tim Burton/Johnny Depp adaptation of Bradbury would have been something I would have looked forward to (although cautiously). Now, I share your sentiment!
