    Dark Shadows - First Official Photo




    Have to say, the cast looks fantastic! Hope the script & direction matches the atmosphere.

      Well at least he's maintained the vintage look. Much better than some modernized crap

        The movie takes place in '72, the set designer contacted me on time appropriate toys for David's room. I suggested Aurora monster models and GI Joes.

          Wow, I'm liking it--a lot.

          I really liked Sleepy Hollow, so I have high hopes for this incarnation of DS.

            Excellent suggestions! That was always one thing I wondered about the original series, this kid's family is wealthy...why doesn't he have some really cool toys?

            Looking forward to seeing all of the finer set details in this film.

              Evidently they weren't all THAT wealthy, in spite of appearances.

              They were nowhere near the level of wealth of say, Blake Carrington on Dynasty, or J.R. Ewing on Dallas.

                Michelle Pfeiffer kind of resembles Nancy Sinatra in that picture

                  I'm impressed. Should calm those folks who freaked over last week's leaked set photos.

                  With it set in the 70s, I hope Burton captures a Hammer vibe like he did in Sleepy Hollow. Dark Shadows and Hammer had quite a bit in common. I love that gothic stuff.

                  Depp's hairdo is surprisingly accurate to Frid. Looks a bit weird on him, but I applaud the authenticity.

                  Mikey, Pfeiffer DOES look like her boots are about to start walkin'...

                      Nice! I had faith. Depp and Burton do superb work together. This will be a cool movie!

                        I wasn't too sure after the first photo leaked but that looks really good.
                        You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                            I am looking forward to this… Great memories of watching re-runs of DS on NJN channel 23 back in the early 80s.
