Dark Shadows News is reporting:
The US rating for Dark Shadows has also been confirmed this week, with the film receiving the anticipated PG-13 certificate for "comic horror violence, sexual content, some drug use, language and smoking."


Anthony Breznican is a writer for Entertainment Weekly and he has recently seen the final cut of the film.
I've seen final cut of Dark Shadows. Tone similar to Burton and Depp's Sleepy Hollow - lots of humor, but with menacing, atmospheric edge. In Dark Shadows, there's an absurdist bent to the monster element. The creatures of the night are adrift in the self-obsessed world of 1970s. In typical Burton fashion, humans are scarier than the fiends. If u want Interview w the Vampire, that movie exists. This is a more wry take.


He reminded his Twitter followers that Sleepy Hollow had a "LOT" of humor, but I strongly disagree with that assessment. Sleepy Hollow wasn't a rip-roaring laughfest last time I checked.



















Dark Shadows also stars Helena Bonham-Carter, Michelle Pfeiffer, Eva Green, Chloe Moretz and Jackie Earle Haley. The film will be in theaters May 11th, 2012.

kinda like Shia and Megan Fox's romance in Tranformers 2?

interesting, will need to keep my eye on this?)

I am so super excited for this. I have no idea what to expect.

Burton needs to stop riding Depps cock. I never saw what this was based on, but it looks like hes screwing it up like he did Batman

Burton insults the works he adapts. What a cock

Based on the footage so far and the constant mention of comic/comedy that seems to substantiate what I have seen in the footage, it is a pass for me. Dark Shadows and comedy seems like an oxymoron to me.

@thewonderer

it's based on a really crappy, short lived tv show from the 70s. My dad verified that for me. Most likely no matter how bad the movie is, it can't be as bad as the show.

Can't be as bad of a show as this...

^^^ That'll probably be Mel Gibson's next film.

well there goes any thought of ever watching this. If it was rated R than at least there was the chance that Eva Green lost her clothes for a scene or 2. but now that it is pg-13 you know it is going to be typical Burton/Depp garbage.

I confirm Just1Superguy's comment!

Michelle still looks great. That's a Catwoman that has aged well.

Wish it would have been for violence.

Yeah Sleepy Hollow isnt really funny. Except if you´re on drugs or something.
That movies genre was horror/mystery. It had few small funny parts but thats about it.

Burton´s best movies.

The movie will be good. I kinda wish it would come out around Halloween. It would make more money. Im sure it will be released on bluray/dvd around Halloween.

Will Johnny Depp get older and then one day regret all the roles he did for simply being Burtons Lap Dog...
