Beetlejuice meets Sweeney Todd meet Sleepy Hollow?
Are these images still scaring you? Well, Chloe Moretz of Dark Shadows – now filming under the direction of Tim Burton – is here to give you a bit more about the production. In an interview with Movies.com she talks about her character. Read on…
Movies.com: With Dark Shadows, what is your take on Carolyn Stoddard?
CM: Oh, Carolyn, thatâs a fun character. Thatâs a really fun character. She is crazy. She is this teenager, like 15-year-old hippie who is into The Carpenters and Alice Cooper. Sheâs super music-y and raw, like free love, you know. Sheâs fun. I canât say much because he has a really dark secret I canât tell you.
Movies.com: Something that people obsessed with the old soap opera would know or a new secret?
CM: No, itâs new. Itâs new to everything so go see it. May of next year, Dark Shadows!
Movies.com: Is it totally serious or with a wink?
CM: Oh no, no. Itâs Tim Burton so itâs like Beetlejuice. I have to say itâs a mixture of Beetlejuice, a teeny bit of Sweeney and the scariness of Sweeney but the fun of Sleepy Hollow with the scariness of Sleepy Hollow. Iâd definitely say itâs a lot like Sleepy Hollow because you go from the Ichabod Crane character to the Headless Horseman whoâs comedic and yet terrifying. It straddles that fine line of camp and drama so itâs like a drama horromedy thriller.
Dark Shadows opens May 11, 2012. You can read the full interview right here.
