I had a feeling you would, Nicky.
Though interestingly today's capture/quote -
1760 - Barnabas Voiceover: 'When I was but a boy, my father
took us to the New World to expand the Collins family empire.' - only serves to remind me of how things were somehow changed after the WB's May 18, 2011 Press Release for the film came out. As we'll recall, there was mention in it of the Collinses setting sail in 1752 from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America - but not even an ocean away was enough to escape the mysterious curse that plagued their family. Yet there's no mention in the film's actual prologue of them trying to escape any sort of curse. The only reference to curses comes from Barnabas when he first meets Liz in 1972 - and that seems to play as if it's mostly about Barnabas' curse and how after being turned into a vampire he went around insisting a witch had done it to him (which isn't exactly something he should have freely admitted to anyone). And of course, in the actual film the year they set sail is 1760, not 1752 - and the year in which Barnabas is turned ends up being 1776, not 1772. And something I noticed the other day when I went over to IMDb to check the cast list is that a listing for Angelique's mother is now gone (though to me the voice of the woman reprimanding the young Angelique not to stare at young Barnabas sounds a bit like Eva Green - but who knows?) - but other supposed characters who to my knowledge were never listed before (i.e. Greg Bennett as Chet the Taxidermist, Nick Thomas-Webster as Timothy, etc.) are now there. Even Thomas McDonnel 's name is back even though it was gone for the longest time. But perhaps even more significant is that the credit on IMDb for young Barnabas indicates that he was 9 and played by Vincent Curson Smith - not 6 and played by Justin Tracy, as the actual film indicates. So who the hell knows why years were switched - or what sort of stuff was shot but for whatever reason ended up on the cutting room floor?
