Like Cousin_Barnabas, I also suspect Burton knows the type of film he's making - he just doesn't want anyone outside of the people working on the film to know. At least not until he's ready to show it to them - and that may not be until the premieres.
However, we do know that Seth Grahame-Smith has seen two rough cuts of the film and we know what he's said about what he saw. And nothing that he's said about it has me worried.
On the other hand, I find possible focus group interference far more worrisome than anything Burton might be doing. Yes, the Wizard of Oz focus group skit they showed on this year's Oscars was funny - but one reason it was so funny was because there was so much truth to it when it comes to what can and does sometimes happen in those groups. Let's not forget the example I cited about six months ago of how Brad Pitt complained that his favorite scene in Legends of the Fall was taken out because audience response during test screenings ranked it the #1 most hated scene - and despite the fact that it was also ranked the #2 most liked scene...
64 days 4 hours 14 minutes 26 seconds until the day the Depp/Burton Dark Shadows is released(ET)!!
