I was reading an interview with Tim Burton in the new Rue Morgue a couple of days ago. In it, he mentions that Lee and another actor were cast in the film, and sounds like they even recorded songs in a studio to be used while filming. However, before filming got started, Burton and Co. decided that some things needed to be streamlined and Lee's part was cut.
Even now, he can't get no respect! I tell ya...
