Posted 01.23.12 by BrentJS
The French website CineHeroes has posted a new still image from director Tim Burton's new movie, Dark Shadows, which offers us our best look yet at Johnny Depp in full costume and makeup as his childhood hero, the vampire Barnabas Collins.
Dark Shadows was written by best-selling author Seth Grahame-Smith (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Killer) and is based on the Gothic '60s soap opera of the same name. The story centers around the return of Barnabas Collins, who was cursed by a witch, transformed into a vampire, and then buried for more than 200 years. Inadvertently freed from his tomb in the 1970s, Collins instinctively returns to his former home at Collinwood Manor to find that his estate has fallen into disrepair and that his descendants are a dysfunctional lot hiding many dark secrets.
The cast of Dark Shadows includes Michelle Pfeiffer as Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, Eva Green as Angelique Brouchard, Helena Bonham Carter as Dr. Julia Hoffman, Bella Heathcoate as Victoria Winters, Chloë Moretz as Carolyn Stoddard, Jonny Lee Miller as Roger Collins, Gulliver McGrath as David Collins, Jackie Earle Hayley as Willie Loomis, and Thomas McDonell as young Barnabas. It opens May 11th.
