Title: Semi OT: House of Dark Wilde
Post by: Gothick on June 12, 2007, 05:24:22 PM

Fans, I saw this interesting tidbit regarding the use of the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion (where several sequences of the 1970 feature film house of Dark Shadows were filmed) in a new adaptation of Oscar Wilde's very seldom filmed play, A Woman of No Importance.  I won't rant about my disappointment in the casting of this adaptation (I've waited for something, somewhere since I read it with some friends back in the 70s), although Sean Bean might be interesting as Ld Illingworth.  The story about filming at the Mansion:

According to an article in the Stamford Advocate, there are plans to use The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum in Norwalk (where they filmed the 2004 Stepford Wives), and that they'll start shooting at the end of April for six weeks.

Here's the IMDB page for the movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808544/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808544/)

A click there will also bring you to a list of movies that the Lockwood-Mathew's mansion was used for.

And pardon me when I say that anything that is related to Sean Bean... I am so there.  [love7]
