From these pictures its clear to see that this looks like it will be hopefully another Burton and Depp masterpiece or at least another Sleepy Hollow which in my eyes was the best or one of the best apart from Sweeney Todd. But if your like me and the rest of the world apparently and you don't know the story of Dark Shadows then here is the low down:
- Barnabas Collins ( played by Johnny Depp) gets turned into a vampire by his jilted lover Angelique ( played by Eva Green, who you'll no doubtedly recognise from James Bond:Casino Royal or from Kingdom of Heaven) way back in the 1700s and then buried.
- Then Barnabas gets dug up and try's to reintergrate with his descendants led by Elizabeth ( played by Michelle Pfeifer) and Roger (Johnny Lee Miller who has just recently been in Danny Boyle's stage production of Frankenstein)
- But as you can imagine with Angelique still around she's not in a very forgiving mood.
These pictures also show in my opinion the ever changing faces of Johnny Depp as well as how it in my opinion Johnny Depp is a great actor his is as it shows that he will literally throw himself into any role he's in, but I do have to say that I wouldn't have put Depp down for playing a vampire role.
Richard Zanuck is producing this and Seth Graham Smith is adapting this TV series to film and luckily this will be a 2D film as opposed to a 3D film. Richard Zanuck explained to Empire Magazine why this is saying that:
'...We didn't want to be catagorised as another 3D exstravaganza, because this isn't. We have action sequences, but mostly it's interaction between characters, and that's where the humour and the story come from...'
This will be coming to a cinema near you on May 11th, 2012. So I guess I'll have to hold my excitement till then.
