Scrap it entirely and let J. Michael Straczynski do his live-action "Reboot the universe" TV series instead...and I thought Excelsior and Voyager were live-action?

I'd like Sleepy Hollow to be made somewhere else than Hyperion. I don't want Burton to be stuck at Disney forever since that will just limit his creative freedom.
And to have the freedom to make an homage to Hammer Horror, complete with gore, he needs to go somewhere else. Either Hemdale or New Line would work for Sleepy Hollow.
Also the Headless Horseman could be another villain in the Monsterverse.
Sleepy Hollow (1999 Film)
After nearly 20 years with The Walt Disney Company, Tim Burton shook Roy E Disney's hand and left the only employer he ever knew.
In June of 1998, New Line Cinema hired Burton to direct a spookier, scarier adaptation of the classic Washington Irving short story, the Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
Instead of a school teacher, Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) is a constable for New York City's police force assigned to investigate a series of brutal murders in the Westchester County town of Sleepy Hollow.
Rick Heinrichs, who had worked with Burton in the past, served as production designer on the film.
Released on Veteran's Day '99, Sleepy Hollow would go on to gross $200 million on a $70 million budget and receive modest reviews.
CAST
Johnny Depp as Ichabod Crane
Christina Ricci as Katrina Van Tassel
Michael Gambon as Baltus Van Tassel
Christopher Walken and Ray Park as The Headless Horseman
Paul Gleason as Reverend Steenwyck
Casper Van Dien as Brom Van Brunt
Ian MacDiarmid as Dr Thomas Lancaster
Michael Gough as Notary James Hardenbrook
Martin Landau as Peter Van Garrett

Just don’t overly rely on the shaky cam. It’s a tool that can be overused just like anything else.
How about we put Guy Ritchie, the man who directed Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, should be the one to make this movie. He and Statham go together well.
Yunjin Kim as Electra King, please. Outside of that, same cast, grittier plot.
Now that we've got Tim Burton doing projects for other studios now, what can we offer him to direct next?
Don't forget, Universal and Gemini are bringing out Stuart Little in December. Any suggestions for voice talents?
Also, another thing before we get into The World is Not Enough, Disney will be bringing out the Gold Collection (Starting in 2000) and Platinum Editions (Starting in 2001) ITTL, but I'm gonna need some help spacing out the Gold Collection releases starting in 2000.
