I understand where you're coming from, borgosi, with regard to photos of Depp as Barnabas. But I strongly suspect that photos of Depp as Barnabas are going to be used as the primary promotional tool for the film, just as photos of Depp as the Mad Hatter were used for Alice in Wonderland and photos of Depp as Jack Sparrow are always used to promote the Pirates films. And if the past promotions for his films are any indication, who knows how many times Depp as Barn may appear just on the cover of Entertainment Weekly because all of his films seem to get multiple EW covers before they're released. And other entertainment/horror magazines are likely to follow suit when publishing pre-release articles on DS. So much so that, like KMR, I also suspect it's going to be pretty much impossible for anyone to avoid them. Well, unless someone were to cancel all their magazine subscriptions, seal themselves up in their house, and never turn on the TV until the Depp/DS film gets released.
On the other hand, I wouldn't be so sure that the entire plot of the film will be known beforehand. Burton has a reputation for successfully keeping a lid on his films (just look at how little we know about this one), and not much gets out that he doesn't want to get out. And probably the main reason for that is that he surrounds himself with people that he's worked with before and he knows he can trust. That's not to say it will be impossible for something that Burton doesn't want to get out to get out. But it's likely that it will be very hard for it to happen. And that will be more than fine with me because, unlike seeing photos from the film, I want to know as little as possible about the plot before I see it. Like I've said before, nothing but the very end was left unknown when it came to the plot of hoDS - and that was very unfortunate...
360 days 4 hours 24 minutes 17 seconds until the day the Depp/Burton DARK SHADOWS is released(ET)!!
