Apparently there are some interesting things in the Empire article, according to posters on IMDB.
I was disappointed to learn that there aren't any pictures in the print issue other than what was shared initially online. Empire's tweet seemed to imply otherwise. And it might not have been very smart of them to share all the photos online because it lessens the chance that people are going to buy the actual issue, particularly now that people online have scanned/uploaded the article.
And speaking of scans, I came across a tweet from another Depp Web site that says they have scans. However, to access them one has to become a member, which I'm now in the process of doing (the confirmation e-mail is taking forever to arrive). It will be interesting to see if the scans are the same as the ones up on JOHNNYDEPPZONE (several other Depp sites have "borrowed" them) or if they've done their own scans, and if so, if they're better than what's up on JDZ...
I think I read on the IMDB boards that this Empire article claims that there is very little CGI in DS
You did. But what's interesting is that the article doesn't actually even say that. It simply says that Burton prefers to build sets rather than handle such things via CGI. But there's no mention of CGI as it pertains to things other than sets. So, CGI could be being used in the film in all sorts of other ways - particularly when we know they have been shooting green screen footage as recently as this week.
At any rate, I'll try not to worry about this yet
So far I'm not worried about a change of release date either.
I'm trying to keep track of all the tweets, but has there been any word on Thomas MacDonnell? I wonder if he will be starting now.
As far as I've been able to tell there haven't been any tweets from him about DS or any about him actually working on the film. But that may not mean anything...
223 days 7 hours 51 minutes 50 seconds until the day the Depp/Burton Dark Shadows is released(ET)!!
