I really wish that the image of Frid had a higher resolution. I want to analyze that sign with his name on it. Clearly it is the original Dark Shadows logo. I just can't tell if it is on a new design or something we have seen before. And if the text underneath refers to the original series. If not, it may be a prototype or a working logo they are using for the movie. One can only hope.
As for the fish cannery... I, for one, am really excited about seeing this. It was a huge part of the first part of the series, one of my favorite eras, and yet we only got to see a little bit of it. It would appear that Tim is trying to strike a balance between the first year and the subsequent supernatural years, and that is something I am looking forward to with great relish. From what we have seen, I, personally, think that Burton is taking a different approach with this film. The large focus on such real-life elements, the sailor costumes, the sets we have seen of the cannery, etc. seem to bring this thing down to a level we are not familiar seeing with Burton. I really am excited to see how it all comes together with the supernatural elements.
Still think Chris Lee should play Bill Malloy.
