I have always been a movie fanatic and am also a huge fan of Tim Burton's work and Johnny Depp as well. I always try to see every side of why a movie was created the way it was. Bottom line is...is every movie that was adapted from a book, tv show, etc, is not always going to be the exact same as the original...now how much fun would that be?? I believe it would be pretty dull because you would always know what is going to happen, etc. The directors and actors always have to put their own creativity and spin on what they create. How would it make them as individuals in the dog eat dog world of directing if they didn't? From the trailer, I think the movie looks great! It stays true to what Dark Shadows intended with the true vampires not being seen in mirrors, the sotryline, etc. There is nothing wrong with making something more humorous or shedding a different light. Give Tim a break all, he is a great director who has always had this quirkiness and great side to all of his creations. After all, Dark Shadows was just a tv show and anyone has the right to re-create it. I'm sure if the makers of Dark Shadows didn't approve, it would have never been made, right? Right! Just relax a bit. And those of you that say, 'Well I won't be seeing it!" Well believe me, it won't be hurting them or the movie if you don't see it...there will be thousands of us Burton and Depp fans that will truly be there!
