Some have come close to what I suspect might be DC's opinion of actual humor in the Depp/DS film, while others are off. Though even the ones who've come close haven't posted specifically what I'm thinking - and that also surprises me because it's a subject that has been dealt with many times here on the forum. Though I do have to confess that it is something that I wasn't first reminded of until jimbo posed his question about DC. But I'll hold off a bit longer to see if it occurs to someone else...
I went to IMDB.com but I didn't see anything about a young Barnabas or anything about Carolyn?
It's currently the first post on the message board on the regular IMDb page for the film. (And until I noticed that it doesn't appear at all on the message board in the IMDbPro section of the film, I didn't realize that there are two completely different message boards for it.)
Hmmm......I just saw more posts about Micheal Sheen. I like Sheen a lot as Aro so I would love to see him in the movie.
He's a hoot and a half as Aro! And I don't know how I'd forgotten because the series is one of my favorites, but Sheen plays a large role in the
Underwold mythology as werewolf Lucien. So, Sheen has played both a vampire and a werewolf - but if as we suspect, he might play Roger in the Depp/DS film, he'll be a mere human. Though I actually take that back because no one could actually describe Roger as a mere anything!
And I really do think Sheen could do so much with him. Well, IF he does the film, and IF he plays Roger...
