Going Dark

The Dark Knight may not have been mentioned during the Warners panel at Comic-Con, but that doesn't mean the sequel isn't creating buzz throughout San Diego.

The latest marketing for the film includes: Fake dollar bills, websites, smoke spelling, etc. have been spotted...all surrounding a new teaser trailer and photo.

The trailer is truly a tease, all you really see is a pull-out reveal of the the logo--laced with a few snippets of dialogue...the trailer has been uploaded on YouTube...But frankly, none of them came out all that well-- you can find it in high definition here.

As for the photo:


The Joker (Heath Ledger) threatens Rachel (Maggie Gyllenhaal) ...



...In other "Dark" News:

Variety reports that a feature film version of supernatural soap opera Dark Shadows (1966-1971) is on the way--starring Johnny Depp

The deal for the film rights just wrapped up between the estate of Dan Curtis, the producer/director who created the series and Warner Bros...

The cult series produced more than 1,225 episodes and turned the afternoon sudzy staple on its head by including horror staples like vampires, monsters, witches, werewolves, ghosts and zombies...

Depp has said in interviews that he has always been obsessed with show and had, as a child, wanted to be vampire patriarch Barnabas Collins.

I never really got into this as a series--Surprisingly--despite my horror fixation...Depp is gonna make one cool vampire..
