For auction: Anthony Burgess' unproduced A CLOCKWORK ORANGE screenplay- The producer's personal copy

On eBay this week, I have listed an ultra-rare original copy of Anthony Burgess' unproduced screenplay to A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. This copy comes directly from the files of the film's producer, Si Litvinoff. Here's a link:

Considering its rarity, this should be a bolshy treat for Stanley Kubrick, Burgess, and CLOCKWORK ORANGE aficionados.

Question: To anyone's knowledge, has any other copy of this script come up for sale before? Has it ever been published?

Dr. Phibes Remake Redux

A couple of weeks ago, rumors were flying around hot and fast of a remake of the 1971 horror classic THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES, to be directed by Tim Burton. However, nothing really hard and fast seems to have appeared in any major periodicals to substantiate them. Can anyone back these rumors up? Or are these just idle whispers around the fanboy campfire?
