· Good news, 3D haters: Tim Burton isn't planning on giving Dark Shadows an extra dimension. "There's people like, 'Everything's gonna be in 3D,' or 'I hate 3D!'" Burton told TheWrap. "I think people should have a choice. I don't think it should be forced on anybody. At the same time, it's great, some of it. It's like 'Yes or no!? 3D! Yes or no?!' It's like, well, you know, come on, whatever, some yes, some no." The Johnny Depp-led film arrives in theaters next May. [Wrap]
