Depp/Burton DARK SHADOWS Is In Production!!

[Mysterious Benefactor]

Well, I see the "rumored" has been removed from Helena Bonham Carter's name on IMDb - though it remains for Jonny Lee Miller.    I guess whoever handles the Depp/DS film on IMDb doesn't follow Twitter or else they would know that Jonny Lee Miller was shooting today. (Or should that be yesterday since it's already tomorrow in England?  )

Also the film dipped slightly this week on IMDb's MOVIEmeter - from 522 to 581. But then, there wasn't much new publicity last week...

Don't know if anyone saw it, but here is a fun little article about seaweed being used in Dark Shadows, POTC, and other films. 

http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/home-news/seaweed-harvest-boost-for-jobs-in-hebrides-1.1106843?localLinksEnabled=false

Shadows is mentioned once, and it is unclear as to whether the beach scene being discussed is in POTC or Shadows...  But, we can assume BOTH, I'm sure.   

[Mysterious Benefactor]

Hmmm - interesting. The seaweed could easily be being used for a beach scene. Or maybe the ghost of Bill Malloy makes a surprise visit and leaves his calling card of a pile of seaweed on the floor.  

Thanks for the link, Cousin_Barnabas.

So apparently Chloe Moretz is shooting again. And apparently it's been raining a lot in England. That can't help with the construction of the Collinwood set...

Also, who knows what this exchange means (if anything):

I just realized that last exchange has to do with the Big Finish Audio dramas - not the Depp/DS film. Joseph Lidster wrote London's Burning.

Two more DS tweets:

Apparently some people are still just learning of the film:

@ChloeGMoretz Good evening Chloe. How's it going with Dark Shadows, you haven't said much about it. Having fun filming?

And it's not looking like she's going to have much to say because she never responded to TomVprosser's tweet, at least publicly. But then, there's that damn confidentiality agreement...

Apparently many of us managed to miss this from back on the 11th - but Dark Shadows News' Twitter feed managed to find it today:

Panorama of the Bourne Woods with the film set for Dark Shadows under construction http://twitpic.com/5a2t1v

Not a particularly good view of the set (not even when you enlarge it) since it's way off in the distance, but certainly a great shot of the surrounding area...

Hmmm - earlier than I'd anticipated:

She doesn't say she's done with DS, but I wouldn't be at all surprised IF she is as she's been on set nearly every day for a bit more than four weeks, and it's not like Carolyn is the main character. Time will tell...

329 days 2 hours 41 minutes 33 seconds until the day the Depp/Burton DARK SHADOWS is released(ET)!!

The poster on the JOHNNYDEPPZONE just recently posted that she hopes to go back to the set on Friday for an update.

Sadly heavy rain caused her not to go. (She went to Pinewood Studios instead, but she didn't see anything because security was "very tight.")

Oh well. But perhaps she'll go to the Collinwood set another day. And if shooting really does begin there next week...

328 days 12 hours 47 minutes 55 seconds until the day the Depp/Burton DARK SHADOWS is released(ET)!!

A few people on Twitter have asked Chloe Moretz if she's done shooting DS. So far no reply from her. And she has tweeted about being at the airport, so it's not like she hasn't been on Twitter since they asked. And if past behavior is any indication, she probably won't reply - or can't reply...

An answer - though not from Chloe - from her brother:

Why would anyone want to be in LA when you could be in England!

[Mysterious Benefactor]

Perhaps they got tired of all the rain.    And Chloe was missing her dogs.    But seeing as she seems to show up as so many events and has so many photoshoots, maybe she has a commitment in LA next week?    Or maybe they all simply wanted to sleep in their own beds after more than a month away.

Well, what do you know - Jonny Lee Miller is no longer listed as "rumored" on IMDb. I guess it's safe to breath a sigh of relief that he's actually in the film.  

One does have to wonder, though, which one of the many official mentions of Miller being a part of the cast finally got through to whoever had him listed as "rumored" in the first place?    Not to mention what took them so long to accept it...
