Dark Shadows Movie On Entertainment Tonight

  • It's a busy week for Dark Shadows movie updates, as the film's promotional campaign steps up a gear. This evening's edition of showbiz magazine show Entertainment Tonight will feature a lead segment devoted to the film. Promising behind-the-scenes footage and star interviews, the syndicated programme airs at 7.00pm in most areas.
  • Dark Shadows director Tim Burton and Johnny Depp were at yesterday's CinemaCon industry convention in Las Vegas to promote the film. Introducing a preview sequence, Tim once again spoke of his childhood love of the original series, blaming it for bad school grades: "I wasn’t doing my homework. I was watching this weird TV show!"
  • Eva Green has spoken about her role as the witch Angelique in an interview with CoverMedia: "My look in the film is a cross between Bette Davis and Janis Joplin," she reveals. She also touched upon the eternal conflict between Angelique and Barnabas. "She won’t give up trying to convince Barnabas... that he must be in love with her, even though he doesn’t think so. She’s relentless and will do anything to have him. Barnabas is confused and he has to deal with this obsessive woman who just won’t leave him alone."
  • And finally, composer Danny Elfman will be launching the Dark Shadows Original Score CD on May 8 at Warner Bros Records in Burbank, California. Danny will take part in a question and answer session and a limited number of signed albums will be available. The event takes place from 6.00pm and more details can be found here.

I saw it, it was awesome! Barnabas hit Angelique in the head with a wooden plank! I have lost all my worries about this film. Thanks for telling us about this. This film will kick POSTERIOR!

Saw it--had to wait/forward through all the other drivel. But definitely worth it! Kept the recording for anyone else in my immediate circle who might want to see it.

lonn4670--the original tribute was for Dan Curtis, but I'd bet my last dollar that they will add Jonathan in there. Still hurts...

K.R. I know that but I am hoping they will add Jonathan as well. It will hurt for a long time, sorry he did not live to see the end result.

Yea, Barnabas wacks Angelique with a board, but I wonder was this before or after their rampant sex? I just want to know when Warner Bros is finally going to release "House of Dark Shadows" and "Night of Dark Shadows" on DVD.
