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

Beyond the facts that Depp is starring as Barnabas, Burton is directing, Seth Grahame-Smith and John August wrote the script, the film will be shot at Pinewood Studios, and the names of some of the key behind the scenes personnel, practically nothing has been confirmed. The only other things that we know for sure are that Bella Heathcote, Eva Green, Chloe Moretz, Jackie Earle Haley, and Thomas McDonell will be appearing in the film - but only because they've said as much in interviews and/or tweets. None of the other actors have said anything for certain and all the reports simply said they were "in talks" to appear. They probably are going to be in the film, but nothing has been said for certain. And when it comes to the plot of the film it's mostly all rumor. I tend to trust Variety's and the Hollywood Reporter's actual reports (as opposed to their blogs) more than any of the other Web sites that have reported on the film, so we can possibly believe that Elizabeth hasn't left Collinwood for 10 years and that Victoria is a waitress - but who knows? Some day, hopefully, we will know. But who the hell knows when that day will be? And as I keep saying, I'm certain that Burton is thrilled to death that we know so little for sure. Otherwise he wouldn't have people signing confidentiality agreements...
