Amph Dark Shadows

Trailer

So, okay...what with Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter coming out and now this, are Vampires making another comeback? Is the Zombie fad over?

 

I'd pay $$$$$ for the zombie fad to end. And, I saw a trailer for Dark Shadows over this weekend.........it looks awesome.


Los Angeles Lakers: Drama, guaranteed.

 

Yeah, I'm kind of on board with this one. It's looks hilariously campy.

 

It looks good, but I'm still waiting for Frankenweenie.

 

It looks like it'll be a semi-comedic, but wasn't the original show pretty dramatic? Heck, the first movie made based on the series made by the original show creators and starred the show's actors in their TV roles (House of Dark Shadows) ended with every character dead, a rare feat!

 

I'm unsure how I feel. The movie looks fine but I loved how serious the show was but wasn't.

 

Did vampires go away? I feel like they've been running concurrent with zombies right now.

 

oh look more whimsical gothic imagery

 

What? This looks so disappointing I can't even begin. Talk about Tim Burton being lazy. It's just Frankenstein with the same art direction as Corpse Bride. I absolutely love stop motion, but I wish Tim Burton would give it a rest already.

Now ParaNorman. There's something.

 

The This American Life episode that featured someone going to a DS con made me want to get around to seeing the show.

 

The Burton/Depp love affair has annoyed me for several years but this looks... decent.

 

I tried watching the old show, and was bored to tears.
No idea why anyone wanted to watch it. Maybe it got better.

It was meant to be heavy and dramatic--seemed more like a soap-opera.

 

I watched the trailer, and honestly lost interest about half way through. I think I'm just fed up of seeing Depp and HBC in the same film.

 

It was a soap opera. With ambitions beyond the reach of their creators or their budget. Hence, unintended hilarity. Not sure why everyone is automatically tired of Burton. His career, even recently, has more artistic hits than misses, and this looks like he's engaged, and its entirely possible that this trailer doesn't actually indicate the overall tone of the film. Word around the web is that the thing is tonally odd and varied enough that the studio has been struggling to describe/market it to a general audience. Looks like they've decided to latch onto the more overtly "zany" aspects.

 

So, they had a chance to deliver a great, dark, dramatic, epic horror flick with a large sum of source material to draw from and they went for a silly comedy which resembles the show in name only?

Go to youtube, search for Dark Shadows, enjoy.

 

Okay, saw the trailer. Looks dreadful but that could just be editing, as mentioned above.

 

Oh look, Tim Burton has made another Hot Topic commercial.

 

I'm still waiting for the braindead Twilight-ers to start screaming "ripoff".


Because, like they TOTALLY got "Collins" from "Cullen".

 

Tim Burton was Twilight before Twilight was Twilight.

 

Only instead of emo indie rock which makes me want to claw out my own eyeballs, you had the wicked awesome scores of Danny Elfman.

 

can't they both be over?
