'Dark Shadows' - Official Discussion Thread

Sad news.

Jonathan Frid, who played vampire Barnabas Collins in the original series (and has a cameo in the new film) died last week at the age of 87.

I wrote it today - that's sad.

I read that he plays a small role in the new movie. Is that right ?

(Cover) - EN Movies - Tim Burton was concerned whether Chloë Moretz could "play a real teenager" in upcoming movie Dark Shadows.

The 15-year-old actress is wise beyond her years, having already landed top Hollywood roles in films including The Amityville Horror, Kick-Ass and Let Me In.

Chloë stars in filmmaker Tim's latest fantasy offering as secretive teenager Carolyn Stoddard and the director was initially worried about Chloë's maturity.

"I was so happy she was available!" he exclaimed in an interview with Empire magazine. "Chloë's done great things, but my only concern with her was whether she could play a real teenager, you know? But she was great. She’s very thoughtful.

"There’s just a reality to her, whether she’s playing a superhero girl or a vampire, there’s always a reality to it. She’s got a very old soul, like someone who’s been around a very long time.”

Now it's just 17 Days till Dark Shadows starts in the theaters.

So the Premiere should be in the next days or weeks. It seems that there will be a greater promotion tour of Dark Shadows so I think it's a good idea to collect some more informations about that and if there will be public events for the fans or something else and in which countries and cities they will stay (and have Premieres).
(What I really want to know is if they will come to Germany ).

@Admins: Maybe we can make an extra thread for the public promotion of Dark Shadows.

Edit: I forgot to explain: with "they" I mean Tim Burton and the leading part of the cast - with Chloë.

Just another remark from me: Yesterday (Sunday evening) Chloë talks on Twitter about the coming-up promo tour (it seems that the first event is on Saturday) and she will reveal a "big secret" (but I don't know if she reveal it to public or just to the guy she talks with). Some other guys speculated about a new movie project but I don't want to participate on any speculations.
