Vodpod videos no longer available.

Tim Burton Talks “Dark Shadows”: Alive or Dead, All Families Are Pretty Weird.

TotalFilm has an exclusive sitdown with the director, who’s bringing the 1960s horror soap to the big screen. Johnny Depp and Eva Green star.

Here’s a sampling:

“What I liked about Shadows is it’s a story about family,” said Burton. “I grew up resisting family and then as I got older I realised what a strange and chaotic but important thing it is.”

“I think all families are pretty weird… We’ve just tried to link the supernatural elements into real issues that families face: like the feelings of a teenager growing up, when your body’s changing and you’re angry at everybody; or the challenge of trying to keep the family together – whether they’re alive or dead!”

Joss Whedon Makes It Clear: There Is No Spiderman In “The Avengers.”

In case you were wondering … the director talks to TotalFilm about the superteam flick.


“There is no Spider-Man in this movie!” Whedon told us, debunking the rumour that the iconic character (due to receive his own movie reboot this summer), would be crossing paths with Iron Man, Captain America, Thor et al.

“I feel so bad for Jenny [Agutter],” sighed Whedon. “I think she just slipped on a name and the reporter ran with it. It’s not like she goes to Comic-Con every year…”

New “Battleship” Trailer Debuts — Rihanna Shoots At Stuff.

Singer Rihanna in the upcoming "Battleship" adaptation.

… but I’m still convinced this flick is going to be a John Carter-esque disaster. But who knows, someone may pay to go see a movie about a board game. It worked for the first, two “Transformers” movies.
