True, MB.  But If I were a Warners exec, I would have been mad about not having anything prepared before tWiB, because it was a hit and the film played out so much like Dark Shadows.  I mean when there are six Borat displays in the lobby and the hallways and DS has nothing prepared for the release a movie that would draw a similar audience to Shadows, it's really kind of mind boggling.    

Just got back from watching The Woman in Black...  Dark Shadows REALLY missed its opportunity to hit its target audience with this one.  I am fairly sure Warners is kicking itself right now.  The Woman in Black was a hit that touched on the gothic horror elements we are expecting in Shadows...  So what other May 11 release not only had a trailer, but at least six giant promotional "portraits"/posters hanging in the theater?  The Dictator.  That film may be utter trash, but it is really being promoted - even if it was to the wrong audience.  Wish Shadows could have got in with the right one, because I think Woman in Black was its last real chance to hit the genre-goers. 

Which reminds me.  There are so many posts about Dark Shadows from other countries.  While I don't know how it will do in Britain, I think it's going to be a smash in the Americas and other parts of Europe. 

I think it's fantastic that they are giving us something new to speculate over.  At least it has distracted us from the trailer issue...

Incidentally, there is another permutation, http://darkshadowsmovie.warnerbros.com/
(with "movie", without "the", with "warnerbros") that is also redirecting to WB. 

Very interesting!  Thanks for sharing!

Quite honestly from a Web design perspective, it's never really a good idea for an URL to simply display a blank page, so more than likely that's why Warner Brothers now has the various permutations of the URL redirecting to their home page.

I feel that's a strong possibility, then again...

I mean, honestly, black backdrop, standard title "Dark Shadows" in the DS font with a dark red halo around it, choose one of the four photos you've released (the cast photo would make most sense) and "The Journey Begins May 12, 2012" (or whatever the date is).

is what I have ALWAYS seen on movie websites before their launch.  So this WB redirect bothers me.  Of course, they could be making it really cool and all, and that is why they aren't revealing anything yet.  I don't know. 

So... if this is not the most interesting and terribly anticlimactic thing you've ever seen...

www.darkshadowsthemovie.com

And darkshadows.warnerbros.com and darkshadowsthemovie.warnerbros.com both go to a "Server Not Found Page".  Any ideas what any of this means - especially the first link's redirect?

Possibly, tragic bat.  But, after Angelique's life changed, I always envisioned the two of them becoming allies and helping each other in their missions.  Yes, there would still be tension, but with KLS gone, I'd imagine that they would have less to quibble about.  Sure there will always be another Roxanne or something, but I think the writers would have been wise to realize that the Angelique/Barnabas battle needed a rest, at least for a year...  Then again, you are probably right, and they wouldn't have come to that realization at all.    

I would hope it's not a real autograph...  unless Jonathan is getting paid big bucks.   

The people who could actually "deserve" that autograph are the folks who bought the whole series on VHS and/or DVD separately...
