I just noticed that the Depp/DS film has hit an all-time new high of 182 on IMDb's MOVIEmeter.
I've noticed that since reaching that high the Depp/DS film has currently fallen back down to 942 - this despite all the publicity Thomas McDonell has been getting recently. Though, if I correctly read the way MOVIEmeter works, the film may jump up in the next ranking because the effects of publicity seem to be a week behind when the actual publicity takes place - which, I suppose, only makes sense. We shall see...
And -
It's probably also worth noting that IMDb lists the cast members based on their personal STARmeter. Some may be shocked at how high Chole Moretz ranking really is (which is no doubt why her casting has caused the film itself to jump so high).
Here are their rankings (and even though HBC isn't currently listed on IMDb, I'm including her as well):
Johnny Depp ... Barnabas Collins 10
Chloe Moretz ... Carolyn Stoddard 12
Eva Green ... Angelique Bouchard 88
Helena Bonham Carter ... Dr. Julia Hoffman 127
Michael Sheen 173
Michelle Pfeiffer ... Elizabeth Collins Stoddard 328
Jackie Earle Haley ... Willie Loomis 542
Thomas McDonell ... Young Barnabas Collins 1,298
Bella Heathcote ... Victoria Winters 2,275
Gulliver McGrath ... David Collins 12,591
- the actors have been playing a bit of musical rankings themselves. They currently place:
Johnny Depp ... Barnabas Collins 7
Helena Bonham Carter ... Dr. Julia Hoffman (rumored) 78
Chloe Moretz ... Carolyn Stoddard 113
Michael Sheen ... Roger Collins 155
Eva Green ... Angelique Bouchard 206
Michelle Pfeiffer ... Elizabeth Collins Stoddard 477
Thomas McDonell ... Young Barnabas Collins 566
Jackie Earle Haley ... Willie Loomis 910
Bella Heathcote ... Victoria Winters 4,091
Gulliver McGrath ... David Collins 27,296
with
Gabriel Freilich ... Hippie 3 (uncredited) 59,774
Depp, Bonham Carter, Sheen, McDonell, and Freilich (who was down at 119,426 before his casting) have all risen (McDonell quite significantly), while Moretz, Green, Pfeiffer, Haley, Heathcote, and McGrath have fallen.
