Current Talk '24 I / Re: Depp/Burton DARK SHADOWS Is In Release!!
« on: August 21, 2012, 06:04:34 PM »I could be wrong, but when it comes to the DS film I believe much of the negative attitude is more of a backlash against Burton (and to a lesser extent Depp and Depp paired with Burton) than it is anything having to do with DS. One extremely sad but true fact is that on some Web sites the animosity against Burton is so intense as to be completely irrational.
I think you're right on the money there, MB. There were several people from work who were not huge DS fans but were interested in seeing a DS film. At least they were interested until they learned that Tim Burton was directing it.
When asked about it, they really could not explain why they were so against Burton but they did make it clear that they would not go to the movie because of him.
