Sneak peek of DARK SHADOWS featured on ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT
Entertainment Tonight tantalized us with a little behind-the-scenes glimpse of Dark Shadows on their April 25 broadcast; the photo at left shows Johnny Depp in the one moment in the segment when he was not in costume as Barnabas Collins (to see a larger version of the screencap, CLICK HERE.) As ET struggled to describe the tone of the film, calling it Johnny’s “wild new ride” and a “gothic comedy,” Johnny said, “It’s kind of a fine line between soap opera and reality.” ET showed brief, witty clips of Johnny’s Barnabas confronting Eva Green’s Angelique and of Helena Bonham Carter’s Dr. Julia Hoffman confronting Michelle Pfeiffer’s Elizabeth Stoddard. “Every actor is wild in this one,” ET commented, and Michelle Pfeiffer agreed. “Everybody was so funny and so weird,” she said. “We all tried to out-weird each other.”
The Zone thanks Theresa for the ET clip and Lou Lou 63 for the screencap. You can read more about Dark Shadows on the Zone’s News & Views forum.
