@bradmiska I'm hating TB so much I'm probably going to skip the panel & hit Dark Shadows instead. Couldn't care less what Ball has planned.

Playing a pensioner I walk on set with a walking stick, as per wardrobe; 2nd AD: "Do you need that?" me: "No, it's a prop". He didn't laugh.

With regard to tomorrow's DS panel at Comic Con, this person on JOHNNYDEPPZONE describes a certain someone's methods so well, and yet they're probably barely even aware of him:

Some movie news is promised, but as early in the process as the film is, expect them to wait till the very end and tease you with very little.

And this is someone else's reaction to that comment:

 

We can relate.

Well, I bet we're all so excited today - less than 12 hours until the Hermes panel at Comic Con is done and the world learns the "surprises about the upcoming Tim Burton film starring Johnny Depp". I bet Twitter will be all atwitter with the news! ...  uh-huh.

But getting back to the world of reality, here are some of the latest tweets - and apparently something big is actually up so far as today's filming goes:

(Hopefully she's not simply referring to the fact that Christopher Lee is shooting today. But I suspect she is and is completely unaware that the previous tweet had already gone out)

Went checking through Phoenix_James older tweets to see if I missed anything and came across these which may be related to DS:

It's a wrap on costume fitting. Heading back across town. Loving my outfit! I need to hit vintage shops and get some 70's heels in my life.

Its a wrap! Amazing day! However, a 2.30am rise for set this morning, 12hrs in heels, tight pants & an itchy wig has totally kicked my ass.

On the IMDb front, I see where the film climbed to #455 (from #486) on this week's MOVIEmeter (based mostly on Depp's new Disney deals). And I also see where there's been a shuffle in the top 4 of the cast. Eva Green fell down from being listed second to being listed fourth (because her ranking on STARmeter fell from #39 to #193), so Helena Bonham Carter moved up to second (and her ranking jumped from #65 to #20, thanks in great part to tons of Harry Potter publicity) and Chloe Moretz moved up to third (and her ranking jumped from #73 to #44, thanks mostly to Hugo Cabret publicity(the first trailer of which was released last week)). But when it comes to Chloe, apparently you can't keep someone who's "Destined to be the Next Big Thing" down for long.

I see where Ridley Scott's Prometheus (DS' filming mate at Pinewood) released a photo and showed a teaser trailer at Comic Con (though Twentieth Century Fox had an entire panel devoted to it). We should only be so lucky that even a photo gets shown/released of the Depp/DS film at the Hermes panel tonight. Well, so long as it's not just a photo of the Collinwood exterior set.

An interesting documentary about a film Johnny Depp was supposed to star in, but which sadly fell apart.  Don Quixote has been Terry Gilliam's for years.  Johnny Depp was cast as a XXth century ad executive somehow transported back into the past as Sancho!  It is kinda fun to see Depp actually working...

Several people have tweeted that they're at Hermes' DS panel. Let's see if any of them report anything to get excited about...
