It seems we may actually have a real house for Collinwood and the Old House (instead of CGI and/or on the stage creations) if Heinrich does location scouting as he did for Wolfman
I would love that to be the case.
And quite possibly Heinrichs would love it too. But it's not entirely his decision. Locations versus studio sets/CGI has a lot to do with what the director/producers want to do, what the script may require take place in certain settings and the logistics of shooting it, as well as how the budget has to be allocated.
It's hard to imagine that the DS movie could be released late this year but I am still hopeful.
While it's probably not impossible, it's also probably not likely that the Depp/DS film will come out this year. A 2012 release date seems much more likely. And considering that the world might end sometime in 2012
, let's hope Warner Bros. schedules the release before then.
But seriously, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the film isn't released until after AL:VH, which is why I wrote the post that I did the other day. But as hard as it is to believe at the moment with so little info coming out, some day we
will actually learn what Warner Bros. thinking is and when they've decided is the best time to release the film. Until then all we can do is wonder...
