In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet—or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy…until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive.

Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) has called upon live-in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), to help with her family troubles.

Also residing in the manor is Elizabeth’s ne’er-do-well brother, Roger Collins, (Jonny Lee Miller); her rebellious teenage daughter Carolyn Stoddard (Chloe Moretz); and Roger’s precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins (Gulliver McGrath). The mystery extends beyond the family, to caretaker Willie Loomis, played by Jackie Earle Haley, and David’s new nanny, Victoria Winters, played by Bella Heathcote.

Dark Shadows stars Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Eva Green, Michelle Pfeiffer, Chloe Moretz, Gulliver McGrath, Bella Heathcote, Jonny Lee Miller, Jackie Earle Haley, and will be released on May 11, 2012.

That looks more like Depp than the other photo. I am interested to see what Burton does with this, though I wont be expecting much- due to his recent shit.

CraptainAmerica - 1/19/2012, 12:02 PM

You're not expecting much because Burton recently took a shit?...

RABB1T - 1/19/2012, 12:03 PM

His recent movies were very bad. They were, as I said, shit- he has lost his touch.

headlopper - 1/19/2012, 12:10 PM

That actually looks pretty cool.

My mom's a baby boomer ,so she grew up with this show.

She says it's really good. She loved it, and can't wait for the movie.

Yeah...MY MOM!

MassExecutions - 1/19/2012, 12:20 PM

Some how the back ground makes me feel like he's standing in a kindergarten classroom. That's creepy.

NeoBaggins - 1/19/2012, 12:32 PM

Looks like the Mad Hatters emo little brother.

Ghostfire - 1/19/2012, 12:37 PM

@ncreb
You read my mind!! UGGHHH.. SCARY!

valeriesghost - 1/19/2012, 12:46 PM

I watched an episode while taking shots the other night. it was the first time i've seen the show. i thought maybe i could watch the series before seeing the movie, but i found out there are more then 2,000 episodes. So i put in Tucker and Dale Vs Evil.

MarkCassidy - 1/19/2012, 12:49 PM

I've never seen the show but I just have a feeling thsi is going to be really good. There is a great cast and it sounds interesting, plus we have heard it will be more a horror than anything else. Burton can be pretty intense when he wants to be - see Sweeny Todd

spidey1994 - 1/19/2012, 12:52 PM

OK, now it looks like Johnny Depp.

raspedoits - 1/19/2012, 1:22 PM

Normally I would complain because he looks pale just like in all of the other Burton films. But he is a vampire! What do you expect? But still, it looks like Willy Wonka & Mad Hatter had a kid & this is what came out, a very distinguished gentlemen-like Edward Scissorhands, lol! Nice hair though! I love the hair, but can Burton be more creative than just a pale face & dark eyes??

brokenexcitement - 1/19/2012, 1:50 PM

is it me or does Depp look like Christina Ricci?

I like the Liza Minnelli reference, too lol

AlexDeLarge87 - 1/19/2012, 2:08 PM

Depp looks creepy ;)

I give the movie a change

Durango95 - 1/19/2012, 2:14 PM

I liked the series, I'm willing to give this a chance.

HelaGood - 1/19/2012, 2:16 PM

god this movie is loking worse and worse...

AlexDeLarge87 - 1/19/2012, 2:26 PM

Jonathan Frid looked hundred times more awesome thou.

I would have cast Rufus Sewell or Richard Armitage for this role. They fit better.

BUT NOOO!... Why would Burton go searching other actors cause he has his own little bitch in the leash ready to bent over. ;)

TheDarkKnightWing - 1/19/2012, 4:55 PM

@ CraptainAmerica

Its not that he took a shit. Its that he took a shit and then turned it into movies.

DudeGuy - 1/19/2012, 4:58 PM

Barnabus wasnt supposed to look like a freak, he was supposed to look like a normal guy

Rowsdower - 1/19/2012, 6:08 PM

Rebooted Spock is just as silky.

nuclearpriest - 1/19/2012, 8:00 PM

Why is it that every time Johnny Depp works for Tim Burton he ends up looking like Helena Bonham Carter?

MurphysLaw - 1/20/2012, 4:01 AM

OH my! I didn't know they were making an Edward Scissor Hands 2!

YourMomNaked - 1/20/2012, 9:25 AM

Looks as silly as I expected.

TheSoulEater - 1/22/2012, 11:45 AM

Well...thats freaky
