Dark Shadows (Part 3) – Dark Shadows New Film! Exclusive: FGM at Los Angeles Press Junket with Cast and Crew!

Dark Shadows Episode (Part Deux) – Guest: Stuart Manning

Empire Online has exclusive pics from the set of Dark Shadows.  And we get to see Barnadepp with some blood on him (and claws and bangs…BANGS)

The new issue will have coverage while filming. 

Below you will see the first REALLY good shot of Johnny going full frontal Frid.  I didn’t think the love I have for the man could grow, but he keeps proving me wrong.  

I have a feeling someone just got their heart ripped out.  He’s already stolen my soul…he might as well do that too me too.

Johnny Depp and I officially share a brain.  And that ladies and gents is a fact.

Or we at least share a love of all things Dan Curtis.  Because he and Disney are going to collaborate on a new version of The Nightstalker.

Let’s take a moment and soak that in.  I’ll be over here sacrificing more souls to the gods that are causing these things to keep happening.  Here look, hats on hot guys who are awesome.

SPOILERS MAJOR AND STOP READING NOW….

OMG ITS SET IN THE 70S!  AS IN 1970′S!!!  AAAAAAAAAA!!!

Filming Begins on Tim Burton’s “Dark Shadows

Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer and Helena Bonham Carter head an all-star cast.BURBANK, Calif. Filming begins this week on Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Village Roadshow Pictures’ Dark Shadows, which brings the cult classic television series to the big screen under the direction of Tim Burton. The film’s all-star ensemble cast includes Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter, Eva Green, Jackie Earle Haley, Jonny Lee Miller, Bella Heathcote, Chloe Moretz, and newcomer Gulliver McGrath.

In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet—or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy… until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Brouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive.

Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) has called upon live-in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), to help with her family troubles.

Also residing in the manor is Elizabeth’s ne’er-do-well brother, Roger Collins (Jonny Lee Miller); her rebellious teenage daughter Carolyn Stoddard (Chloe Moretz); and Roger’s precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins (Gulliver McGrath). The mystery extends beyond the family, to caretaker Willie Loomis, played by Jackie Earle Haley, and David’s new nanny, Victoria Winters, played by Bella Heathcote.

Burton is directing and producing “Dark Shadows” from a screenplay by Seth Grahame-Smith, story by John August and Grahame-Smith, based on the television series created by Dan Curtis. Also producing are Oscar® winner Richard D. Zanuck (Alice in Wonderland, Driving Miss Daisy), continuing his long association with Burton; Oscar® winner Graham King (Rango, The Departed), continuing his collaboration with Depp; Johnny Depp, Christi Dembrowski, and David Kennedy. The executive producers are Chris Lebenzon, Nigel Gostelow, Tim Headington, and Bruce Berman.

The behind-the-scenes creative team includes cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel, Oscar®-winning production designer Rick Heinrichs (Sleepy Hollow), Oscar®-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood (Alice in Wonderland) and editor Chris Lebenzon (Alice in Wonderland). The score will be composed by Danny Elfman.

Dark Shadows is being filmed entirely in England, both at Pinewood Studios and on location.

Dark Shadows will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, and in select territories by Village Roadshow Pictures.

Yes its true.  Barnabas Collins came back from the grave today.

Perhaps his dreams of showing a drugged out Tom Hanson in his underwear and insane may come true. 

Comingsoon is reporting that Johnny Depp is in fact going to cameo in the 21 JumpStreet film starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill.  My response is this:  GET ME MY DAMN DARK SHADOWS FILMED NOW NOW NOW NOW.

That is all…oh and it gives me an excuse to post this.  I’m sure if he could he’d burn all of these:
