2darkshadowsgallery031512 Second Dark Shadows TV Spot Hits Something

Warners has just aired a second TV spot for Dark Shadows, Tim Burton’s latest arriving in theaters May 11. The original followed the life of vampire Barnabas Collins, played by Johnny Depp in the rehash, and his run-ins with various monsters, ghosts, and supernatural creatures.

“The story focuses on Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp), who was transformed into a vampire by a jilted lover (Eva Green’s witch Angelique) way back in the 1700s and buried. He’s just been dug up, and attempts to reintegrate with his descendants, led by Michelle Pfeiffer’s Elizabeth and Jonny Lee Miller’s Roger – despite the fact that Angelique is still around and still not in a forgiving mood.” READ MORE

2darkshadowsgallery031512 First Dark Shadows TV Spot Extremely Different Than Trailer

It’s incredibly rare when I have a different reaction to a TV spot than I did with the original trailer. Frankly, I don’t recall it ever happening.

Warner Brothers used the NCAA tournament to unload their first Dark Shadows commercial, one that carries quite a bit of different footage than the film’s recently released trailer. In fact, it made me excited to see Tim Burton’s latest, which arrives in theaters May 11.

In addition to the below spot, we’ve also added a photo of a new theater standee that lets you become part of the family. Take a seat and snap a photo! You’ll also find a pair of new behind-the-scenes stills here.

Darkshadowsland32012 Dark Shadows Gets Some Not So Dark Character Posters

The media blitz for Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows is in full swing. We’ve had posters, images, multiple trailers and now we have a look at nine uber-colorful character one-sheets for the film. The characters played by Eva Green, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Chloe Moretz, Johnny Lee Miller, Gully McGrath, Bella Heathcote, Helena Bonham Carter and Jackie Earle Haley are all highlighted here.

In theaters May 11 “The story focuses on Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp), who was transformed into a vampire by a jilted lover (Eva Green’s witch Angelique) way back in the 1700s and buried.

2darkshadowsgallery031512 International Trailer For Dark Shadows Has A Look At Alice Cooper

The trailer for Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows hit late last week and today we have a look at the international version. It’s pretty much identical, but if you’re an Alice Cooper fan you’ll be pleased to find that it introduces him near the end and shows a bit of his performance of “No More Mr. Nice Guy”.

I actually didn’t mind the trailer last week, it looks like the film will at least be better than Alice In Wonderland. But the Alice Cooper joke here falls super flat.

The original Gothic soap opera was a highly atmospheric, spooky soap that featured gothic horror staples like vampires, monsters, witches, werewolves, ghosts and zombies.

2darkshadowsgallery031512 HD Trailer, Poster & Wicked Hi Res Images From Tim Burtons Dark Shadows

Tim Burton’s vampire version of Austin Powers?

With the HD version of the trailer ~~arriving this afternoon~~ being uploaded as we speak (still), right now international press has landed 30 hi-res images from Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows, which can all be enjoyed by clicking any pictorial on display.

We’ve also just added the official one-sheet and proper version of the trailer, both of which are a bit hokey. I’m nervous that the film is trickling into “pop culture” territory with their (near) modern-day comedy. This could go very badly…

The original Gothic soap opera was a highly atmospheric, spooky soap that featured gothic horror staples like vampires, monsters, witches, werewolves, ghosts and zombies.

Trailer Premieres For Dark Shadows, Watch a Bootleg

“The Ellen Show”, yup, that’s the audience Warner Bros. is selling Dark Shadows to. Not us. The women who watch “Ellen.” Originally a highly atmospheric, spooky soap that featured gothic horror staples like vampires, monsters, witches, werewolves, ghosts and zombies, Tim Burton has put his spin on the tale featuring his typical cast of misfits including Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. With a release set for May 11, I’m starting to think we’re going to be highly disappointed with this film.

Jackie Earle Haley, Bella Heathcote, Chloe Moretz, Thomas McDonell, Gulliver McGrath and Alice Cooper also star in the gothic horror. READ MORE

If Youre Really Hard Up Heres Like 4 Seconds Of Dark Shadows

We’re all patiently waiting for the trailer for Dark Shadows, the Tim Burton-directed adaptation of the highly atmospheric, spooky soap that featured gothic horror staples like vampires, monsters, witches, werewolves, ghosts and zombies.

Or maybe not so patiently. After all, the film is less than 2 months away and we have yet to see any footage. That changes on Thursday, when the full trailer premieres on “The Ellen Show”. Of course, it could change today if you choose to watch the on-air teaser for the trailer.

Jackie Earle Haley, Bella Heathcote, Cloe Moretz, Helena Bonham Carter, Thomas McDonell, Gulliver McGrath and Alice Cooper also star in the gothic horror in theaters May 11.

You can see it below. But I’m warning you, it’s like 4 seconds long – and sandwiched between 11 seconds of other stuff. READ MORE

If you’re a fan of the original “Dark Shadows” or are looking forward to Tim Burton’s upcoming take on the material but are frustrated by the lack of moving images (such as a trailer) accompanying it, you’re in luck. Because the entire series is headed to DVD on May 8th. That’s right, all 1,225 episodes can be yours for $599.98. A high price, but it actually breaks down to less than 50 cents an episode.

“MPI will release ‘Dark Shadows: The Complete Original Series’ in a custom coffin shaped box with bonus, in-depth interviews and other video extras, a commemorative booklet and more. The SRP for this collector’s set is $599.98.”

*Update: Images removed at the request of Warner Bros. Pictures.

Even more images from Dark Shadows have emerged, and I have to say these are some of my favorites. It’s nice getting a better look at Michelle Pfeiffer, Eva Green and Chloe Grace Moretz. What we still don’t have? A trailer that indicates if this film has the campy lilt in its step that’s been missing from Burton’s recent work.

“The story focuses on Barnabas Collins, who was transformed into a vampire by his jilted lover, Angelique, way back in the 1700s and buried. He’s just been dug up, and attempts to reintegrate with his descendants, led by Michelle Pfeiffer’s Elizabeth and Jonny Lee Miller’s Roger – despite the fact that Angelique is still around and still not in a forgiving mood.”

Directed by Tim Burton, the adaptation of the TV soap hits theaters May 11, 2012. That really does make it seriously weird that there isn’t a trailer yet. Though we do have almost enough images to cut our own!

DarkLandscape330312 New Look At Dark Shadows Cast Includes Alice Cooper

More images from the set of Dark Shadows have emerged, and this time we get a look at Alice Cooper with some of the film’s cast. I kind of expected Tim Burton to do something new with his look, which this photo certainly does not reflect. Then again, these look more like snapshots of the cast hanging out, so perhaps he’s not in character at all. These snapshots also include original cast members from the old TV show, David Selby, Lara Parker, Jonathan Frid, and Kathryn Leigh Scott.

“The story focuses on Collins, who was transformed into a vampire by his jilted lover, Angelique, way back in the 1700s and buried. He’s just been dug up, and attempts to reintegrate with his descendants, led by Michelle Pfeiffer’s Elizabeth and Jonny Lee Miller’s Roger – despite the fact that Angelique is still around and still not in a forgiving mood.”

[News Bites] Poes Red Death, The Boys Goes Into Turnaround, Walking Dead Lawsuits Second Blow

As you can tell the EFM in Berlin is literally destroying our front page, so again we’re going to lump a few stories into a late night edition of “News Bites” (mostly for my sanity).

First, THR reports that Columbia Pictures is no longer part of The Boys club. The studio was developing the adaptation of the violent and edgy comic book from writer Garth Ennis and artist Darick Robertson but has put the project into turnaround. The book follows the adventures of a CIA squad, known informally as “the boys,” whose job is to keep watch on the proliferation of superheroes and, if necessary, intimidate or eliminate them. Writing duo Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay, as well as Seth Rogen, had worked on the screenplay since the project was first set up in 2009. Producers Neal H. Moritz of Original Film and Kickstart’s Jason Netter will now shop the project around town. It’s an amazing comic that deserves a small screen series treatment.

Robert Kirkman, the comic book writer who created “The Walking Dead” and the hit AMC television series by the same name, is firing back at the lawsuit filed Thursday by childhood friend and collaborator Tony Moore, who claims he was duped into signing away his rights to the lucrative franchise. In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Kirkman, repped by attorney Allen Grodsky, writes:

“The lawsuit is ridiculous, we each had legal representation seven years ago and now he is violating the same contract he initiated and approved and he wants to misrepresent the fees he was paid and continues to be paid for the work he was hired to do. Tony regularly receives payment for the work he did as penciler, inker and for gray tones on the first six issues of The Walking Dead comic series and he receives royalties for the TV show, to assert otherwise is simply incorrect.” Full story here.

On the heels of the news this week that is out of ’ ,

Sony Pictures confirmed the departure of 19-year-old singer and actress Miley Cyrus from the upcoming animated vampire flick Hotel Transylvania, 3D, featuring Adam Sandler voicing the lead role of Dracula. Cyrus would have played Mavis, his teenage daughter, but was quickly replaced by former Disney darling Selena Gomez, says THR.

Also inside, we’ve landed a new look at Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins from Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows, along with first details on the retelling of the classic Edgar Allan Poe tale The Mask of the Red Death. READ MORE

Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows could either be a glorious return to form or an even deeper retreat into his hermetically sealed safety zone. I haven’t been a fan of much of his recent work, but sometimes people needs to crank out a few duds before they remember why they loved making films in the first place.

So while the emerging imagery of Depp as Collins looks pretty cool, it also looks like standard Burton. Aesthetically, we know that’s what this movie will be. Let’s just hope the storytelling portion of his skill set is reinvigorated.

The retelling of the classic teleplay arrives in theaters May 11, 2012.

Cooper110211 Rumor Confirmed: Alice Cooper Appearing In Dark Shadows!

Back in June we reported on a rumor that Alice Cooper may be taking a cameo in Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows. Now it seems that rumor has been confirmed by the man himself.

Per the LA Times, “Cooper was equally impressed walking through the huge, elaborate sets of “Dark Shadows,” the Warner Bros. film that stars Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Eva Green and Helena Bonham Carter and reaches theaters in May 2012. ‘They should take that set and make it a haunted house next year,’ Cooper said of the Pinewood Studios constructs that include a sprawling gothic mansion and a harbor city complete with pier and boats floating in an artificial ocean. Cooper plays himself in the film, which is set in 1972 – Depp’s character, the recently revived vampire Barnabas Collins, hires the rock star to play a private ball at his seaside home in Maine.”

After years of gestation, artist-turned-director Tim Burton is finally behind the camera for his adaptation of the British soap opera Dark Shadows, which heads a mighty cast. During an interview with TheWrap he explained that they’ve already begun filming some intensive footage while also really delving into the film’s “tone.”

“It’s been hard to kind of come here because I’m just starting, and it’s a weird tone and it’s a lot of actors and, you know, we’re not starting with the simple stuff; we’re sort of getting right in there. You like to kind of sneak up on it a little bit, but this one we just kind of slammed right into it, he explains also talking a bit about the soap opera qualities. “Yes, I don’t know. I’m early into it because it’s a funny tone, and that’s part of what the vibe of the show is, and there’s something about it that we want to get. But when you look at it, it’s pretty bad. I’m hoping that it will be — it’s early days, let’s put it — I’m very intrigued by the tone. It’s a real ethereal tone we’re trying to go for and I don’t know yet.”

He also confirms that Warners pic starring Johnny Depp, Jackie Earle Haley, Bella Heathcote, Cloe Moretz, Eva Green and Michelle Pfeiffer is NOT being shot in 3-D for its May 11, 2012 release.
