Who is being given a cameo in this upcoming project?

The pen!

Or how about this for a plot-line where Seaview can be used and a huge ton of money being saved?  After Barnabas is released, he discovers that Collinwood has previously been rented out to a local college that trashed the place.  Just think of it:  no need to build sets, no need to provide extra furnishings.  Just plug in some cameras, spotlights and a microphone boom and start filming!

Graystone on the other hand, I really wasn't impressed with, not even when I went to see it.

I didn't care for it in '91, either.  To me it was, well, boring.  No character.  Even the model used for full shots did not impress; I was waiting for Godzilla to appear and stomp on it.

Just think if WB had picked up the 2004 version of DS.  It would've been the first one out of the gate, into its fifth season with two more to go (if it follows the usual seven season pattern for a hit series) and had beaten everyone else to the cash register.  It probably would've saved WB from its demise.  Well, whose kicking themselves now?

I enjoyed Public Enemies, too, and I guess my only criticism was that it was, indeed, a bit too long which, at times, made the goings-on (as well as trying to remember, as madscntst points out, who the secondary characters were from scene to scene) a tad confusing.  I think if it had been "compacted" more, it would have moved from being a "good" film to a "great" film. 

I like to think of the irony as to how this cuts both ways in cinematics.  The editing of NoDS from its original "director's cut" to the shortened version (which wasn't the fault of DC and crew, but of the MGM big-wigs) made it confusing at times, while the lack of a few cuts in PE, turning it from a probably better shorter film to a longer one, made it equally confusing at times.

And don't forget, Borgosi, instead of candelabras, there would be lava lamps blurping everywhere!

Imagine if they had gone to the sixties and returned, building a Collinwood with shag lime-green carpeting and faux wood panelling.  And a grand staircase that looked like the one from the Brady House.

I have that video!  A DVD, actually.  It shows many of the other places where exteriors were shot, both in Newport, RI and Essex, CT, and I think a few more locations.
