I think its a stroke of genius that Julia is the family physciatrist! LOL Great way to explain her being around all the time!

So has anyone read the cast list on Wiki?  What is that all about?

Go to 'Gadling'...photos of cemeteries...creepy to be sure but very interesting.  I can see 1 or 2 in the DS movie.

Just so everyone knows what I am talking about in the previous post, I have attached a screencap, as the issue has been resolved.  Anyone know anything about this silliness?

"Quentin Collins, the mysterious BEARDED werewolf"    ?????

[Cousin_Barnabas]

That was my reaction, DarkLady!

Hmm...  I don't ever recall seeing a clean-shaven werewolf--at least in the transformed state!  That would be quite a sight...

So has anyone read the cast list on Wiki?  What is that all about?    

When was Kieran Hammond listed as Quentin on Wiki because it's not there now. It is still on the Facebook page for the film, however. Though the whole thing strikes me as someone's idea of a joke. Wiki is just about as bad as IMDb when it comes to misinformation...

Hmmm - wonder what this tweet is about:

Up near London. Ready for 1st day of filming at Pinwood studios on Johnny Depp's new film Dark Shadows tomorrow

The only clue his profile gives is where it says: "Diving, Sailing, messing about in or on the water".

Oh, I totally think it's a joke.  I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas WHO might have been responsible for starting this... and why.  They even annotated it with the article used for the other cast members.  Clearly he was not mentioned in said article.  So, yes, it has got to be a joke... but who and why?    I was thinking it might have been someone related to the film - maybe pulling an inside joke.  Of course, a totally unrelated funny man could be behind it as well.  

The cast list was on Wiki last night when I checked to see what people had posted about the film on Wikipedia.  It was gone this morning.

If one does a Google search for Kieran Hammond (which I did before I posted because I was trying to find out if there even is an actor with that name (there doesn't appear to be)) a YouTube video with an extremely in poor taste title comes up. So, if that's the same Kieran Hammond, well...

An interesting exchange between NickyEssex_ (who we heard from on the 15th and suspected might be working on the film as an extra) and robmeadofficial (who's apparently a model signed to Next Model Management in London.)

Nothing about their latter excahnge was very informative, and about 30 minutes ago NickyEssex_ simply signed off by saying he'd see robmeadofficial on set. And unfortunately NickyEssex_ hasn't shared that photo of himself in costume that he mentioned wanting to tweet. But perhaps he can't. Or perhaps it will actually show up in the coming days. After all, he'll be working on the film for 11 days...

Until a few seconds ago I'd completely forgotten about CapnZeus. Here are his tweets for today:

I have a feeling that a lot of that is very tongue in cheek.    But what is interesting is that it looks like he's posted photos or video of the DS stage/set located on the 007 Stage at Pinewood. Here's someone's comment on whichever it is:

The most amazing stage/set I've ever seen.

But you can't see what he's posted unless you become a member of foursquare and he approves you as a friend.
