Tim Burton's Dark Shadows

[Doctor Jones]

I'm loving the look of this film. And Michelle is as sexy as ever.

I will see this most likely.

 

[Figs]

I just hope this is a totally different character for Depp to play. I don't think he needs to play another quirky character like The Mad Hatter and Willy Wonka again.

 

[Octoberist]

I thought his Wonka was ok but his Hatter was 'phoned in' dreadful.

 

[terry78]

Most of Depp's characters are quirky, and Barnabas on the show really was. He was lowkey, but just a very sardonic *******.

I hope we get a trailer by Halloween. I'm dying to see some footage.

Well if we get one around Halloween, the only 2 real options for it to be attached to are In Time and Anonymous. Otherwise, I wouldn't expect the trailer until WB's next release, J. Edgar, on November 9th.

 

[Sawyer]

Seems a little soon for a trailer. Even a teaser trailer. I'd settle for an official logo, frankly.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Agreed. I would love a trailer, but it doesn't seem like it'll happen.

 

[Sawyer]

I wonder, should the movie be successful, if the WB pilot will ever see the light of day. Obviously, it's not ever going to get picked up, since it's been 7 years and much of the cast has moved on to other series (Blair Brown on Fringe, Matt Czuchry on The Good Wife), but I wouldn't mind getting a look at it.

 

[DACrowe]

Just watch the 1991 one on Hulu if you want to see a remake. I tried watching it a year or two ago. Joanna Going from Wyatt Earp was great in it as Victoria, but most of the casting seemed off to me. So despite much better production values (actual location shooting!), less technical problems and more gore and sex....it was just kind of boring, in my opinion.

 

[Ultra Lantern]

This looks interesting,I'll see this movie when it come out.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I just hope this is a totally different character for Depp to play. I don't think he needs to play another quirky character like The Mad Hatter and Willy Wonka again.

This is what I mean on this collaboration. I hope this is an actual effort creatively like Sweeney Todd was.

 

[flickchick85]

Seems a little soon for a trailer. Even a teaser trailer.

Not really. Most of the other major releases for around that time, other than Men In Black 3, have already had teaser trailers released. And a teaser trailer is all we're talking about here.

 

[GoblinScrier]

Well I for one can't wait to see this movie....and being such a fanatic of Alice Cooper, I can't wait to see what role he will have in this movie...even if it is a cameo, I really hope its a memorable glorified cameo....

Johnny performed with Alice at the 100 club in London back in the summer when Alice filmed his appearance...

 

[Lasirius]

The guy who wrote the screenplay for this, Seth Grahame-Smith, also author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is doing a Q&A this Thursday at my school.

I have class at the time this is but I'm going to see if I can make it.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

This guy sure must know his vampires, since he's been hired to do two vampire-centric movies due out this summer. I'm excited for both of them, anything to get Twilight out of my head.

'Dark Shadows' Is Vintage Johnny Depp & Tim Burton, Says Chloe Moretz
Posted 10/19/11 11:47 am ET by Kara Warner in News

Anyone who follows us here at Movies Blog and MTV News, for that matter, is well aware that we're just a little excited about "Dark Shadows," Tim Burton and Johnny Depp's next collaboration. In addition to our gushing over all the released photos, Depp weighed in on the subject himself, calling his Barnabas Collins a "classic monster character," and the film's composer Danny Elfman promised a "fun" and "wild" film.

Today we have more warm fuzzy words about the film via co-star Chloe Moretz, who we ran into at Spike's Scream Awards, where she talked about her experience making the film and why the film is so special.

“It was pretty amazing. I mean working with Tim Burton has always been a dream for me, so to actually get on set and work with Tim, and be in it with Johnny Depp, and Helena Bonham Carter and Michelle Pfeiffer, it was a dream come true because they are all my idols," she said. "To work people like that that know how to do it, and how to get it. It was really special I learned a lot.”

With regard to what separates the film from Burton and Depp's most recent collaborations, Moretz said "Shadows" harkens back to Burton's most iconic, classic films.

“I think it’s special because it goes back to Tim’s roots. It goes back to 'Beetlejuice,' and 'Edward Scissorhands' and it goes back to the true Tim," she explained. "I love it because he gets in it, and he's in that little circle with Michelle, and Helena and Johnny, and it just, it happens. Everything goes down in the movie.”

Trailer. Now.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Wish for it, Sawyer and it will come. Just believe. Believe.

 

[Dave McFly]

wow hard to believe it has been TWENTY years since Tim directed Michelle in a movie (Batman Returns came out in 92, this comes out in 12).

 

[Sawyer]

Wish for it, Sawyer and it will come. Just believe. Believe.

If only it were that easy.

 

[Call Me Darkman]

I like how Chloe Moretz is cryptically saying, "don't worry, guys. This is like his old stuff and not the recent b.s. we've gotten."

 

[TheBat812]

Sweeney Todd, a master? Wow. I can't even watch that movie. My favorite film Burton has directed is easily Big Fish, and my favorite he was involved in is The Nightmare Before Christmas. Hopefully he actually is invested in this film, because his last few seem like he didn't even care about the material.

 

[Lasirius]

Big Fish is also my favorite of his, also one of my favorite films.

 

[DACrowe]

My favorites:

1. Ed Wood
2. Sweeney Todd
3. Big Fish
4. Edward Scissorhands
5. Batman

I actually like most of his movies--but Planet of the Apes, CATCF and Alice in Wonderland in the last decade was very underwhelming to say the least.

 

[Sawyer]

I never understood the big problem everyone has with Burton's Charlie in the Chocolate Factory. I quite like it.
