When it comes to Tim Burton, he’s either really good or really disappointing… there’s no middle ground (except for maybe CORPSE BRIDE). Titles like ED WOOD and JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH are ones we could watch over and over again, but we’re still trying to forget that he ever did a rendition of PLANET OF THE APES.
Regardless, we’re still really REALLY excited about his upcoming film DARK SHADOWS. The movie is based off of the Gothic cult 60’s soap opera of the same name. But unlike his other remakes, the pressure to live up to the original isn’t there, since so few have actually heard of it. We applaud Burton for taking on such an obscure title!
The trailer was just released hours ago, and it has a look of EDWARD SCISSORHANDS and SWEENY TODD mixed with the creepy humor of BEETLEJUICE.
