Current Talk '24 I / Re: It's official: Dark Shadows returns as a film with Johnny Depp

It's amazing how some Web sites only want to see doom and gloom where there is none. In the last few days certain entertainment/horror sites are parsing some of Depp's recent comments and coming away with the notion that the Depp/DS film is somehow in trouble and may not get made. And to back up their interpretations of Depp's remarks, they're citing the reports that the film was supposedly going to begin shooting in January but that start was postponed. How ridiculous is that?! While it might have been true that the film was hoping for a January start, Warner Brothers never officially announced a January start. However, WB has officially announced an April start - a fact these doom and gloom Web sites are completely ignoring in their reports in favor of saying things such as, "Although we last heard that the Burton/Depp big screen redo of Dark Shadows would start filming in January, it doesn't look like that's happening," despite the fact that that isn't the last we heard.
Sheesh, can't these sites get anything right? It's like the parsing of the 10/10/08 speculative report in Entertainment Weekly all over again - only this time there are actual facts to contradict what they're coming away with - but they choose to ignore them. Or perhaps they're even completely ignorant of them...
