Title: "Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know..."
Post by: Patti Feinberg on August 24, 2011, 01:37:51 AM

Okay, I know all of this is disseminated in VARIOUS posts.

I hadn't really been keeping up on the 'new' DS movie starring J. Depp.

May I just ask a few salient questions, so I don't have to try to read certain posts with over 100 replies?

1) J.D. is playing our favorite vampire, correct?

2) Helena Bonham Carter will play (Ang or Vicki OR Chosette)?

3) Please only reply to the next if it's CERTAIN about the other 'main' characters; have they ALL been cast? (when I say main, I am referring to Roger, Elizabeth, Carolyn, Quentin, David, a certain physician and Willie.) Actually, I hope I am not assuming all these characters are in the movie.

I may ask a few other 'bullet point' questions. I do appreciate the correct responses.

1.  Johnny Depp stars as Barnabas Collins, yes.

2.  Helena Bonham Carter is playing Dr. Julia Hoffman.

3.  Michelle Pfeiffer is Elizabeth Collins Stoddard and Eva Green plays Angelique.  The others have all been cast, yes.  There is no word on the characters of Quentin, Maggie, or Josette, however.     

4.  Filming wraps in a few weeks. 

5.  Jonathan Frid, Kathryn Leigh Scott, David Selby, and Lara Parker make cameo appearances.

6.  Bob Cobert's DARK SHADOWS theme will be implemented into the score.

Cousin Barnabas,

In addition to the above-cited, original  Dark Shadows actors in the upcoming film, it's too bad that such other distinguished Dark Shadows alumni as John Karlen, Nancy Barrett, David Henesy and Alexandra Moltke will not be making cameo appearances in the much-anticipated film as well.

Bob,

I absolutely agree, especially on John and Nancy.  They were such major players in the original - and two of the best actors!  If there is a sequel, I hope they will be invited.
