Yes Helena did say she wouldn't probably been in DS which is fine by me. She is a wonderful actress but I am simply tired of the Johnny, Helena and Tim Triad.

If I were casting it, I would try to find out what Alice Krige is up to these days for Elizabeth.

Alice Krige is a great choice  to play Elizabeth, Quinto would be good as Willie Loomis IMHO.

As for Julia, my pick is still Juliet Landau, think she would be perfect for the role.

I do really like Alice Krige, I think she'd be better as Julia/Natalie than Liz/Naomi, but I wouldn't object to her in either part.
I love Juliet Landeau, I'd love to see her in some part. She'd make a very interesting Julia, not sure if she's old enough to be Josette's aunt Natalie if tptb have her  in that role too. She may be older than I think, and Natalie could always be a young aunt, closer in age to Josette than Andre. It would hardly be the strangest family relationship in DS.

I believe Juliet Landau is in her mid/late 30's.

She reminds me of both Grayson Hall and Barbara Steele, can so picture her walking the halls of Collingwood.

Being Barnabas's confidante and doctor.

I love Juliet Landau.  She would be  great. She is an amazing actress!  Juliet is Grayson's age now. She is currently 45 according to IMDB.com!

New article states that DS is suppose to start filming in February and that this movie is a priority to Depp. We shall see since there are other movies Depp will be filming next year.

Thanks so much for the link, jimbo.  [ghost_smiley]

Interesting that the report says Burton "likes" Grahame-Smith's script. And also that now the film will begin in February. Both are great news - if true. But I'd feel a lot more confident about all that if the article cited at least one source for these things. But then, this is deadline.com, the same site that said the film would begin shooting in January but never bothered to cite any sources for that claim either.  [ghost_undecided]

But I'll certainly be keeping my fingers crossed that the report is accurate...

MB that is very big news that Burton seems to have approved the script which was a major obstacle to the film being made. I guess we will learn more within the next two weeks. I am hoping that we won't have to wait to 2013 to see this movie.

IF deadline.com's report is accurate, then in the next several months we should definitely be learning some casting news...

But I'll feel a lot more confident that that might be the case when/if we get some confirmed news from some official source like the industry trades, or from the producers, or from Depp or Burton, or from a fandom source like SG.

Slightly related news, as it involves Johnny Depp, who is currently filming Pirates 4:

Love the Willie as Jack Sparrow avatar, Sara!  [lghy]

As for Depp, he definitely has a big heart....

Hmmm - I wonder if after the film is released we could get a 9-year-old to write Depp to get him to appear somewhere as Barnabas?  [wink2]

Don't think this one has been posted before (you'll have to forgive me I'm wrong):

Thanks for the link, Sara.  [hall2_smiley]


One has to wonder if this is an accurate synopsis of the script or simply one assumed by the site based on the original series?

"In Dark Shadows, Depp will play 175-year-old vampire Barnabas Collins, sealed in his coffin by his father  in 1795 and inadvertently unleashed in the present where he must adjust to an entirely new world while passing himself off to relatives in Collinwood, Maine as a cousin from England. "


The flashback trailers are really well done - though I honestly do think the 1790 trailer for the '91 series is put together better.


And haven't we seen that drawing of Depp as Barn before? It looks awfully familiar...
