Here's an early look at Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter and others in director Tim Burton's adaptation of the vampire-themed 1960s TV series. Looks like they're playing it mostly for laughs.
I guess I won't be reading Dynamite's new Shadow series
We all know that the Shadow is a fearsome pulp hero famed for his blazing, duel .45s, but this over-the-top depiction of violence is as silly as it is revolting.

Tarzan 1966 live-action series with Ron Ely out soon from Warner Archives
Warner Archives has announced two "made to order" DVDs sets collecting the 1960S "Tarzan" TV series starring Ron Ely. They are available from Amazon by clicking the links below.
Tarzan: Season One Part One

Tarzan: Season One Part Two

Tarzan: Season One Part One
:Premiering on NBC in 1966, Edgar Rice Burroughs’ immortal creation, Tarzan, took to the nation’s TV screens for the first time. Still in the capable hands of producer Sy Weintraub, the TV Tarzan (Ron Ely) continued the more recent (and more authentic) interpretation of Lord Greystoke as a sophisticated, articulate jungle adventurer as seen in the Tarzan films of Gordon Scott, Jock Mahoney and Mike Henry. Also carried over from the big screen was young actor Manuel Padilla (Tarzan and the Valley of Gold, Tarzan and the Great River), now playing the jungle lord’s kid sidekick alongside Cheetah, the simian one. The first half of his inaugural season finds Tarzan rescuing seeing-eye lions, endangered leopards, and pampered princes while battling man-eaters, despots and deadly arachnids in this 4-Disc, 15-Episode collection. Guest stars include former Tarzan Jock Mahoney, Star Trek’s Nichelle Nichols, Woody Strode, and Russ Tamblyn.
Tarzan: Season One Part Two
:Ron Ely continues his memorable run as Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan in the second half of his first season. This 16-Episode, 4-Disc collection sees the Lord of the Jungle and his stalwart second bananas, Jai the jungle boy (Manuel Padilla) and Cheetah the chimp, facing off against some of their most formidable challenges alongside a bevy of powerhouse performer guest stars. Stage and screen legend Julie Harris makes her first appearance as the imperiled, imperious missionary Charity Jones and Maurice Evans makes his memorable debut as Sir Basil Bertram. And the action continues to heat up with volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, phantom dinosaurs and more fantastic jungle menaces. Adding their talents to the drama and the dangers are Susan Oliver, Chips Rafferty, Gia Scala, Sally Kellerman and Jack Elam.
Teaser for Ridley Scott's Alien prequel Prometheus
Here's a peak at "Prometheus" starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall-Green and Charlize Theron. The "Alien" prequel will be out in June.
Beatles session drummer Andy White profiled
Here's a nice feature story about Andy White, who drummed on two early Beatles recordings back in 1962 and who now lived in the U.S., in New Jersey:
That’s White you hear on the Beatles’ "P.S. I Love You," with Ringo Starr playing maracas. And on most versions of "Love Me Do," White is keeping the beat while Ringo taps tambourine. White also recorded a version of "Please Please Me."
The three hours of labor earned him a little more than £5, or 5 pounds — not bad for 1962, "though it’d been nice to have royalties," he jokes.
