With director Tim Burton's Dark Shadows opening this weekend, I recently got to interview screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith. Starring Johnny Depp as a vampire who awakens in 1972 after having been buried for 200 years, Dark Shadows is based on the 1970s TV series with the same name and it also stars Eva Green, Michelle Pfeiffer, Chloe Moretz, Jackie Earle Haley, Gulliver McGrath, Helena Bonham Carter, Bella Heathcote, Ray Shirley, and Jonny Lee Miller.  For more on the film, here's 20 images, 9 clips and 12 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage from the set, and Matt's review.

During my extended interview with Grahame-Smith, we talked about how he got involved in the project, his anxiety about having his first film released, how John August contributed to the project, deleted scenes, and what might be on the Blu-ray.  In addition, with Grahame-Smith involved in some other high profile projects, we also talked about the Beetlejuice sequel, Tim Burton’s Night of the Living, Unholy Night, and a lot more.  Hit the jump to check it out.



Here's the time index of the interview with selected quotes.  You can watch the entire conversation further down the page.

With author Seth Grahame-Smith's Dark Shadows debuting May 11th and his adaptation of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter due out in theaters on June 22nd, you might be wondering what else the writer is up to. Well, since the adaptation of his novel, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is still stuck in development hell, Warner Bros. is moving ahead with his new book, Unholy Night. The story is a re-imagining of the Biblical "Three Wise Men." Canon says that these men came bearing gifts to the newborn Jesus, but Grahame-Smith has a different take. Apparently, they were three thieves that were forced into protecting Mary, Joseph and Jesus from some good Old Testament evil. The book doesn't hit the shelves until April 10th, but you can get a look at the type of gory story you're in for with this new book trailer. Hit the jump to check it out. 

Heat Vision brought the book trailer for Unholy Night to our attention. Check out the synopsis for the novel with the book trailer following after:
From the author of the New York Times bestselling Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, comes UNHOLY NIGHT, the next evolution in dark historical revisionism.

They're  an iconic part of history's most celebrated birth. But what do we  really know about the Three Kings of the Nativity, besides the fact that  they followed a star to Bethlehem bearing strange gifts? The Bible has  little to say about this enigmatic trio. But leave it to Seth  ...]]></description>

Seth Grahame-Smith is becoming the go-to guy for genre projects.  After writing a number of tongue-in-cheek comedy books, Grahame-Smith broke big with his novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies in which he mixed a zombie plot into Jane Austen’s classic novel.  He followed that book up with another mash-up, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and now both properties are getting the big screen treatment.  Grahame-Smith wrote the screenplay for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and was tapped by Tim Burton to write his adaptation of the cult soap series Dark Shadows.  Burton was so impressed with Grahame-Smith’s work that he hired him to write a sequel to the horror-comedy classic Beetlejuice (read Grahame-Smith's update on that project here).

Steve recently got the chance to speak with Grahame-Smith at WonderCon where he was promoting the upcoming release of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.  The scribe gave an update on the long-in-development feature adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, his next book Unholy Night (which is also getting the movie treatment), talked about the tone of Dark Shadows and fan response to the trailer, and more.  Hit the jump to see what he had to say.

A feature adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies has been in the works for a few years now. David O. Russell (The Fighter) was originally set to direct with Natalie Portman in the lead before Russell dropped out completely and Portman moved back to a producer role.  Next Mike White (Year of the Dog) signed on to direct, ...]]></description>

Seth Grahame-Smith is quickly becoming a household name. His breakout came with the novels Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, which were subsequently put into development as feature films (Vampire Hunter is already in post-production, whereas Zombies is stuck in a bit of a development hell). He wrote the initial scripts for both films, was subsequently drafted to pen Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows, and created the MTV series The Hard Times of RJ Berger. Now Warner Bros. is said to be paying in the vicinity of $2 million for Grahame-Smith’s next book, the biblical-themed action-adventure Unholy Night, which tells the story of the Three Wise Men. Hit the jump for more on this Hollywoodized iteration of the biblical tale.

Deadline reports that the book is an action/adventure centered around the three Magi. The idea sounds more than a little ridiculous (especially given the 80’s action movie title), with images of the Three Kings fighting their way through thieves and such in order to deliver their gifts to the 8 pound, 6 ounce newborn Baby Jesus. However, Harry Potter producer David Heyman is onboard to produce so maybe we’re in for something a little more sophisticated.

I’ve yet to read any of his previous works, but Grahame-Smith certainly seems to have his niche. Based on the major payday, Warner Bros. presumably thinks they’ve got a pretty big project on their hands. The author will be penning the screenplay himself and will produce through his KatzSmith banner with partner David ...]]></description>
