Filming Begins On Tim Burton's Dark Shadows

Source: Warner Bros

Filming begins this week on Warner Bros. Pictures' and Village Roadshow Pictures' "Dark Shadows," which brings the cult classic television series to the big screen under the direction of Tim Burton. The film's all-star ensemble cast includes Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter, Eva Green, Jackie Earle Haley, Jonny Lee Miller, Bella Heathcote, Chloe Moretz, and newcomer Gulliver McGrath.

In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet—or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy...until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive.

Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) has called upon live-in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), to help with her family troubles.

Also residing in the manor is Elizabeth's ne'er-do-well brother, Roger Collins, (Jonny Lee Miller); her rebellious teenage daughter Carolyn Stoddard (Chloe Moretz); and Roger's precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins (Gulliver McGrath). The mystery extends beyond the family, to caretaker Willie Loomis, played by Jackie Earle Haley, and David's new nanny, Victoria Winters, played by Bella Heathcote.

Burton is directing and producing "Dark Shadows" from a screenplay by Seth Grahame-Smith, story by John August and Grahame-Smith, based on the television series created by Dan Curtis. Also producing are Oscar® winner Richard D. Zanuck ("Alice in Wonderland," "Driving Miss Daisy"), continuing his long association with Burton; Oscar® winner Graham King, ("Rango," "The Departed"), continuing his collaboration with Depp; Johnny Depp, Christi Dembrowski, and David Kennedy. The executive producers are Chris Lebenzon, Nigel Gostelow, Tim Headington, and Bruce Berman.

The behind-the-scenes creative team includes cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel, Oscar(R)-winning production designer Rick Heinrichs ("Sleepy Hollow"), Oscar(R)-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood ("Alice in Wonderland") and editor Chris Lebenzon ("Alice in Wonderland"). The score will be composed by Danny Elfman.

"Dark Shadows" is being filmed entirely in England, both at Pinewood Studios and on location.

"Dark Shadows" will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, and in select territories by Village Roadshow Pictures.

On Stranger Tides, Pirates Star-Johnny Depp's Cool Fashion Statement

(L-R Photos) Cannes, May 14;  Disneyland California, May 7;  London, May 12

Hollywood A-List actor Johnny Depp has been pretty busy going around the globe - Cannes, California, London-  for attending the "premiere" events for his new film, Pirates of The Carribean: On Stranger Tides.

Take notice on how Johnny dresses himself, of course he's got stylists but if you'll look closely, his clothes are bold and daring - Depp's the straight guy that can wear anything without me thinking that he's gay.

In other words, he carries himself well.

You go Jack Sparrow, spread some more fashion goodness!

You Know Your Famous When You Get Interviewed By Kermit The Frog

There are several milestones that an actor or actress can achieve in their career. These can range from simply being cast in a local play to landing a part in a big time Hollywood movie. Some of the very fortunate may even bring home a coveted Oscar for a amazing performance in a timeless role.

However, I ask you, how do you know when you have finally made it? I mean really reached the pinnacle of acting?

The answer is simple. You find yourself being interviewed on the red carpet at a movie premiere by Kermit the Frog.

I found an interesting email in my In Box this morning from Disney hyping the fact that Kermit was on hand at the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" interviewing celebrities.

I found this odd that with all the stars on hand for such a gala event that Kermit was the one being listed in my email?

That was until I learned that there was a new Muppet movie coming out in November and that it was to do some covert publicity for that film.

The Mouse is a sly one.

Anyway, here are some photos of Kermit attacking .... I mean interviewing Penélope Cruz.

Penélope Cruz answers a question posed by Kermit the Frog, star of Walt Disney Pictures’ “The Muppets,” coming to theaters this Thanksgiving, on the red carpet at the World Premiere of Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” at Disneyland on Saturday, May 7. The highly anticipated action-adventure opens in theaters on May 20, in Disney Digital 3D™.

Is it just me or does Kermit look like he's about to say "Nice dress .... can I see you out of it later?"

Maybe it's just me ...... ?

Penélope Cruz is all smiles as she exits her red-carpet interview with Kermit the Frog, star of Walt Disney Pictures’ “The Muppets,” coming to theaters this Thanksgiving, at the World Premiere of Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” at Disneyland on Saturday, May 7.

Translation: "Get me away from this puppet and on to someone from "Entertainment Tonight"

Next victim:

Other sites have Johnny Depp .... I got Kermit.

Yes I have a love for the strange a surreal ......

The Incredible Hulk's Dirty Job at the 2011 KCA

The Incredible Hulk may have had this fetish of squirting it all out on his b*tch's face.

Rumor has it, the huge green monster has been hired by the KCA's producers to constantly frisk his epic what-itness during the awards show. He's been instructed to lie down under the stage, just below the podium where the celebrities would present and accept their awards.

Hulk has been hiding because the show is for kids, right? The last thing that parents would want to see is his superhero log throbbing off the screen.

Hit or miss: once you have opened the shaft's cover and Hulk's about to explode - a drum full of green slime will definitely "cum" out of the hole shooting in your face. 

But wait , here comes Johnny Depp, he's about to prove that the "frisking green monster under the podium" is just pure and crazy imagination.

Now we know the truth.

According to Nickelodeon, the famous slime is made up of jello, flour, baby shampoo, green food coloring and water. This year alone, a total of 11 people were slimed (9 celebrities, 2 animated characters) -  the highest slime-rate since it  was introduced on 1988.

No, it's not The Incredible Hulk's semen, okay.  It's  a legit slime.

The First Look At PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES

Written By: Ken Hulsey

Today Walt Disney Studios has released the first ever images from "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides." These pics show Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, and the fetching Penelope Cruz as Angelica, in the usual kind of hi jinks that we have come to expect from the "Pirates" movie series. There's Jack taking a ride on the back of a carriage , in some sort of a chase scene no doubt, Jack pushing a boat into the water, Jack and Angelica confronting Blackbeard, Jack and Angelica waste-deep in the swamp, Jack hiding and Jack being hauled away by guards.

A typical day in the life of one Jack Sparrow.

Here is the press release:

New Pirates of the Caribbean Trailer Comes Out

The Pirates of the Caribbean has released its new feature trailer that will surely get pirate fans excited. Depp reprises his Academy-Award-Nominated-Role in search for the fountain of youth along with Penelope Cruz and Geoffry Rush.  Battling the furious waves of the ocean with a new nemesis, Ian Mcshane.

I have just noticed, Ian's Blackbeard get up looks exactly like Sparrow, the more "darker one." (Maybe they are father and son in the movie, a twist that will be revealed towards the end. Just a guess.)

Look out for the weird mermaids, they are monstrous. Snake-like glimmering scaly fish tails, and yes they can fly. Scary.

The film will open this summer, can't wait for May 20.
