Depp/Burton DARK SHADOWS Is In Production!!

Everything you've written seems quite plausible, Cousin_Barnabas. 


Changing reels, I'm not sure how this person has embarrassed herself:

As if i haven't embarassed myself enough,i have to work on the set of #DarkShadows tomoro and face Mrs Burton. hoping to meet Johnny Depp
45 minutes ago

But I'm presuming she might have been a little less than kind regarding some of Helena Bonham Carter's fashion choices. Poking fun at her clothes seems to be a running thing on Twitter and the Internet in general.

233 days 12 hours 32 minutes 33 seconds until the day the Depp/Burton Dark Shadows is released(ET)!!

If I'd bothered to check her recent tweets before posting, I would have found this sooner.

Again, just how I am rationalizing what we have to work with - which is always fun! 

I kind of like the idea of the family being cursed, not just Barnabas.  It would help establish the new DS as being about the Collins Family, and there would then hopefully be enough backstory to have other plots branch off, in totally new ways compared to the original DS.

Johnny Depp is Barnabas Collins in upcoming Dark Shadows Masterpiece!

Since he talked about hoping to get into the reshoots, I wonder if it's the reshoots he's missing or new stuff?


And another person who, after seeing the paparazzi pics, is dying for the Depp/DS film to be released:

Tim snubbing North Devon article: http://www.thisisnorthdevon.co.uk/Ilfracombe-fails-Burton-screen-test/story-13381955-detail/story.html

It seems a bit much to call it snubbing, as the article does, when a production prefers one location to another.    Though I suppose they might see it that way.

Thanks for the link, jimbo.

I didn't see a "snub" either - the locales sound like they are very different.  But, of course, it's more dramatic to make it sound like something more negative happened when it didn't.

OH MY GOD!!  Finally something official!!

Johnny Depp's true 'Dark Shadows' vampire revealed! -- EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK

I LOVE IT!

Ooohhh, I like the photo very much.  And the room!

I love everything about the photo - though I have to confess that the first thing I noticed was that, just as Anthony Breznican had said, Depp doesn't much resembled those paparazzi photos. And that he does indeed resemble Frid's Barnabas. But once I checked out other things I was even more thrilled. I love the way all the characters are presented. And my god, that room! I absolutely cannot wait to see the rest of Collinwood based on that. And apparently it would seem as if there's a bit of a mystery in the photo - well, unless the woman seated in the background is Mrs. Johnson...

231 days 11 hours 58 minutes 58 seconds until the day the Depp/Burton Dark Shadows is released(ET)!!

Wow!  Just ... wow.

It all looks very DS, but I also detect a touch of the Addams Family, particularly in Mrs. J. and the "creepy ... ooky" vibe... which is to be expected in a Burton/Depp production.

Helena's makeup and demeanour are hysterical!

MB honey, did you scroll down and read the blurb for each character below the photo? There's a LOT of new information presented... it's from an interview with Seth something-or-other, the screenwriter...

The blurb has mostly minor character details, but there are a couple of spoilery bits...

G.

Oh wow, I'm THRILLED!!
