Here's a link to the original Hollywood Reporter article:
"Alice in Wonderland" editor Chris Lebenzon revealed details on longtime collaborator Tim Burton's next projects, "Frankenweenie" and "Dark Shadows," at Saturday night's ACE Eddie Awards.However, his comments about the Depp/DS film were copied word for word by comingsoon.net.
It's fantastic that Lebenzon says, “It’s a relationship movie. It’s a lot of interaction of characters, from past and present,” because I suspect that's exactly what most of us want to hear.
And it's interesting that he mentions beginning work in May. That could mean the start has indeed been moved to May - or it could simply mean he doesn't begin work until May. Editors don't always begin work at the same time a film begins shooting. Though these days, with all the digital editing tools available, it's often the case that footage is indeed edited on the same day or the day after it's shot. So, as per usual, only time will tell...
Thanks for the link, jimbo.
