@JoshLBarnett My friend worked on the FX/Makeup for the cast of Dark Shadows. It's going to be all kinds of vampire bad assery.

Also, just for the fun of it I just checked Pinewood Studios Web site and it's sad that even though official photos have been released, DS is still the only film that has no photo over there.    Though even at that, at least they have something about the film. I don't believe there's anything on Warner Brothers' Web Site.


And I just realized that the HalloweenNight theme doesn't have a countdown to the release. That will have to be remedied immediately!

If the tweets about the wrap party hadn't told us shooting had finished, this article would have:

That's a great snap of Helena with that bloke at the party. She's such a gamine little thing.

Onwards and upwards!

Remarks from KLS taken from the interview linked to in this post:

'The Bunny Years' author Kathryn Leigh Scott interview

"On this (Burton's) production, everything is so lavish. I suspect that what they spend in three days of filming would be what it cost us to make the entire (1970) movie."

I suspect KLS actually underestimates the cost of filming the Depp/DS film because her suspicions would mean that it only cost about $34 million.

It's going to be very interesting when we finally do find out what the budget actually is...

[Gothick]

I suspect that ONE DAY's expenses on the movie set were equivalent to MORE than what it cost to make all five years of the original series...

But I'm no actuary!

Remember KLS's story about the false fingernail fangs?  I suspect that Terrayne/Beth got the same treatment for her own one day in fangs...

Wow, I hope Kurt is in the movie!  They need a Chris/Joe/Jeff or otherwise attractive young male character like him in the film.

Tim Burton is currently standing outside Empire Towers, looking slightly lost. If you've misplaced a Tim Burton, come and claim him.

I hope he looked lost as in he wasn't quite sure where he was and not lost in the sense that he didn't know what to do with himself because one would think that even though shooting has wrapped, Burton would have an awful lot of work ahead of him on the film.


And as much as I enjoyed this song (and I really enjoyed it), I doubt Burton will be putting it in the film (even if he was to somehow come across it):

They finished filming #DarkShadows this weekend. Now #TimBurton can finally check out my song about Barnabas Collins: http://youtu.be/3jXQ652Q7LM

(But it might actually be one of the best songs based on DS. And the clips in the video work so well with it.)


And finally, it seems a bit odd after weeks have already passed they came out, but for some reason today dozens and dozens of people are suddenly tweeting links to the character bios that first appeared on Entertainment Weekly's Web site and are now all over the place.

220 days 4 hours 14 minutes 1 second until the day the Depp/Burton Dark Shadows is released(ET)!!

Does anyone here know if there's a cliff near any of the filming locations? I'm just wondering if it will be CGI.
