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.
