And once again as some have already noticed, I've posted another batch of new screen caps and set ups to the film's Complete this Phrase / Fill in the blank(s) board. Beware of possible spoilers.
And something I forgot to mention the last time I posted new screen caps is that there was a new preface:
BRT = Blue-ray Trailer - and larger versions of those captures are only 848X480.
And today there was another new preface:
GER = German Trailer.
Also, as a follow-up to this screen cap that was posted last time of Rick Heinrichs' conception of Collinwood's Grand Foyer:
This time around I've posted an actual shot from the film from the same basic angle:
And it really is quite fascinating just how closely the actual set resembles the sketch. There are only a few different touches here or there.
And finally, the actual dressing of the Grand Foyer set brings up something that I've been meaning to get into but keep forgetting: namely, why is a portrait of Josette so prominently hanging in the room? We can certainly understand why there are portraits of Joshua, Naomi, and, of course, Barnabas hanging in the room - they all lived at Collinwood and were members of the Collins family - but why Josette? Granted, she was quite obviously Barnabas' great love. But so far as we know she was his girl friend and not his wife and, therefore, not a member of the family. Or was she his wife? The film as it's edited never actually spells it out - and could it possibly be that we as fans merely assume Josette is his girl friend and not his wife because Barnabas and Josette have never been married in any other version of DS?
