I am guessing the new trailer with Chinese subtitles and voiceover is for the Taiwan release. Not to show off or anything, but I read Chinese and the type of characters and style of Mandarin used in the trailer are typical of Taiwan. I suppose it might be for Singapore as well... wasn't there a Singapore website that leaked some early photos? Or was that Brazil? Or both?
The Chinese title, for anyone who cares, translates as "Dark-shadowed Family" or "Dark Shadows Family" (it's ambivalent; Chinese doesn't have tenses and inflections the way Indo-European languages do).
The scene with Barnabas and the hippies makes me wonder if Burton is also a fan of the late Robert Quarry Deathmaster film (about a vampire setting himself up as a hippie guru). This movie seems to be his opportunity to offer homage to just about anything in or out of reach from the Sixties and early Seventies.
I know I'm being a sourpuss but I don't find the idea of Barn slaughtering an entire camp full of people funny. Love means never having to say you're sorry so I won't.
cheers, G.
