Current Talk '24 I / Re: It's official: Dark Shadows returns as a film with Johnny Depp
« on: November 08, 2010, 06:42:36 PM »You can toss up the story a bit, but just don't change the music... please. The main theme, Josette's Music Box, and Shadows of the Night are a must in any version of DS. Cobert's work is irreplaceable; and while I am fine with new incidentals, the main themes should remain in place. Are you listening, Burton, Elfman?
That was recently addressed:
Quote from: SHADOWGRAMSG PREMIERE-ANNOUNCES:
DS composer "Bob Cobert's original theme will most certainly be integrated into the musical score of the new movie, though the retired composer will not be directly involved."
Also, there have been remarks made by the producers (and I believe Jim Pierson at the Fests) that they and WB are hoping that the Depp/DS film will be successful enough for it to lead to a franchise. Though that doesn't necessarily rule out Barn being killed off in the first film. Just look at how often Christopher Lee's Drac was killed off and then ingeniously brought back in the next installment.
