See the movie trailer, poster and photos for Dark Shadows below. 18th century playboy Barnabas Collins is turned into a vampire by the beautiful but jealous witch Angelique (Green). Two centuries later, in 1972 Collinsport, Maine, Barnabas awakes to a very different world and dysfunctional familyIn 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 Brouchard (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.

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).

He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin.

Spooky Scary. Johnny Depp stars in Tim Burton‘s Dark Shadows, and we saw spy photos from the set recently, but Empire has the first official stills from the production, also highlighting co-stars Michelle Pfieffer, Johnny Lee Miller, and Helena Bonham Carter. Take a look…Though it’s easy to beat up on Burton – especially after his Alice in Wonderland – the nice thing about Dark Shadows is that it’s drawn from a television show (soap opera, to be fair), and so there’s a lot of character development and story arcs that the writers and Burton could draw from. And though Depp’s gothic look plays right into Burton’s cult appeal, if the movie doesn’t work it won’t be because they had weak material.

This also introduces more of the family, and gives us a look at Eva Green, Jackie Earle Haley and Chloe Grace Moretz. But it’s Johnny Lee Miller’s hair that gets us most excited for the film – less so with Eva Green as a Blond . If nothing else, this is one heck of a cast. But it’s understandable to be cynical about Tim Burton. Sleepy Hollow would seem to have been a slam dunk title for the maestro, but other than its look, it’s not very memorable. The picture is scheduled to open May 11, 2012.
