Even if there's a scene of Victoria arriving in Collinsport on a train, that doesn't necessarily mean that the film won't open with Barnabas' backstory. All the events prior to 1972 could play out in chronological order, but rather than Barnabas' release being the first thing seen in 1972, it could be Victoria's arrival. Or her arrival could be seen directly after his release. Or both events could be intercut. Or the film could actually open with Victoria's arrival and Barn's backstory could be used as flashbacks. Who knows how the film will be edited? And even the chronology of how things might play out in the script wouldn't necessarily be an indication of how the finished film will play because scenes are often jumbled around in the editing process. The WB Press Release might be a reflection of the order of how things play out in the script, but Burton could and possibly will decide to change the chronology. After all, one need look no further than the chronology of certain scenes in hoDS, NoDS, the '91 Series, and the '04 WB pilot as examples of how some scenes play out in a different order (and sometimes in quite a different order) from the way they appear in those scripts. It might prove very interesting when we see the film and then we (hopefully) see the script (in KLS' book).
As for the smoking issue, I wish I could remember the name of the film that had so much trouble with the MPAA earlier this year. There were all sorts of articles on the Internet about the battle. But I'm drawing a complete blank...
172 days 11 hours 10 minutes 10 seconds until the day the Depp/Burton Dark Shadows is released(ET)!!
