And That's Terrible

Theaters Saw Worst Summer Sales Since 1993 Despite Billion Dollar Blockbusters Like TDKR & Avengers

by Jill Pantozzi | 4:01 pm, September 3rd, 2012

Just yesterday we told you Joss Whedon’s The Avengers pushed past the $1.5 billion dollar mark for global ticket sales. Today, we’ve found out Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises has officially become the 11th film to cross the billion dollar mark. Theater owners must be very happy, right? Wrong. Apparently 2012 has had the worst summer for ticket sales since 1993.

Eugh. I’d repressed it from my memory.

Here Is a Spooktastic Glimpse at Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows

by Jamie Frevele | 2:29 pm, September 24th, 2011

Entertainment Weekly has the first official look at Tim Burton‘s film adaptation of Dark Shadows, and it’s probably fair to say we’re a little bit less worried about Johnny Depp’s appearance now. A little bit. You might recall the earlier set pictures we posted in which Depp’s Barnabas Collins looks, well, like exactly how Tim Burton would interpret Barnabas Collins if he were a gothic, deranged mime-clown. Or Michael Jackson. (Wow, imagine if Tim Burton did a Michael Jackson biopic? Michael Jackson would probably have dug that sooooo much. Anyway … ) But here, the look is considerably more toned down, and according to EW, he is supposed to be taking on more of the “aged little boy look” of the original Barnabas, Jonathan Frid. You’ll also see Michelle Pfeiffer as Elizabeth Stoddard Collins, Helena Bonham Carter as Dr. Julia Hoffman, and Chloë Moretz as Carolyn Stoddard. EW has a comprehensive rundown of all the characters. Click through to get a bigger look at the pic.

by Jamie Frevele | 10:30 am, September 14th, 2011

Johnny Depp is currently playing the part of Barnabas Collins in Tim Burton‘s film adaptation of Dark Shadows. Here is what he looks like. Yeah … if you’re also thinking “kinda ridiculous,” it’s okay. Especially if you’re thinking, “Hey — I had no idea that Barnabas Collins was a demented mime-type.” Well, it’s a Tim Burton movie, folks. This is what happens when that happens. One more pic after the jump.
