Wow, this just proves how fanboys will react to ANYTHING with applause... For what I know, this isn't the real trailer description at all. Oh, jiiz. :facepalm:

*But still, I can't wait for Burton's comeback in my own, rational way.

I'm really interested in how this looks on film, because so far, nothing about this has really interested me.

Why would you say something different? AS I expected, really.

Okay kiddo.

When's the trailer coming??
It's 3 months away and no sight of it!!!
Maybe the producers are too confident that Depp's involvement will bring in the coin.

Eh...sounds okay. Only seeing this for Carter, Green, and Depp. Burton hasn't done a good film in a while.

From IMDb:

Hey, I come from France and I just saw that Tim Burton will be in Paris on march 7 for the opening of an exhib dedicated to his art (the same that the MoMa). I think he may present the trailer here.

Indeed, the poster for the exhib is actually a "teaser poster" of Dark Shadows.

And Frankenweenie trailer is out today... :roll:

Here’s the official synopsis for Dark Shadows:

In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet—or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy…until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive.

Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) has called upon live-in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), to help with her family troubles.

Also residing in the manor is Elizabeth’s ne’er-do-well brother, Roger Collins, (Jonny Lee Miller); her rebellious teenage daughter Carolyn Stoddard (Chloe Moretz); and Roger’s precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins (Gulliver McGrath). The mystery extends beyond the family, to caretaker Willie Loomis, played by Jackie Earle Haley, and David’s new nanny, Victoria Winters, played by Bella Heathcote.

Trailer is (hopefully) coming soon. :judge:
