This should be some relief for fans that were puzzled by Depp's bizarre appearance in those recent leaked set pics. Both Depp and director Tim Burton chat to EW about the movie..

Johnny Depp:

“I do remember, very vividly, practically sprinting home from school in the afternoon to see Jonathan Frid play Barnabas Collins,” the actor says. “Even then, at that age, I knew — this has got to be weird.”


Tim Burton:

“I remember seeing a group photograph of the cast of the original series,” he tells EW. “For me it captured the weird Dark Shadows vibe in a single image. I had a brief window of opportunity to have our cast present at the same time, the day before principle photography began. We decided to stage a similar picture instead of rehearsing, to see if we captured the Dark Shadows feeling.”


Dark Shadows also stars Helena Bonham-Carter, Michelle Pfeiffer, Eva Green, Chloe Moretz and Jackie Earle Haley and will be with us May 2012. For full cast and character bios click the link below.

I don't understand why some ppl have been hating on this movie Burton has his own vision for all his movies, and almost all of them have been great. I'm sure this will be just as good.

Holy Crap....It's like...PERFECT! Very Spot on. Hate on Tim Burton all you want but a lot of these characters actually look exactly like the characters from the actual show to which I'm sure a lot of you have never seen and are just complaining for the sake of complaining. Well done Tim Burton. You've done Dark Shadows justice thus far.

What's funny about fans and Burton is that everyone complains about the lack of originality in Hollywood, and yet when someone like Burton takes large amounts of creative license with an established film or such people cry foul! Sure he didn't come up with the original, but he still has the balls to put his own stamp on things so it's not just a retread of what has come before.

At least we get the four tufts of hair across the forehead like the real Barnabas Collins. But Depp still looks like Barnabas as rendered by Edward Gorey.

I highly doubt I'll be seeing this at the cinema but I'm definitely looking forward to it. Just hope it isn't too campy...

Now thats more like it! :)

God it would be cool if Burton would make it black & white!

Oh man, Depp looks awesome as Barnabus. Jackie Earle Haley looks pretty cool, too.

Should hopefully harken back to Tim Burton's good old days of Ed Wood, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands.

I knew it would look better! It was just one photo people.

It would tame those bright colors. Specially Bonham Carter´s makeup and hair.

Awesome, just awesome. Should be good, hopefully Burton is back to his Sleepy Hollow neo-goth style on this one.

lol@the haters who will endorse this project now

yeoldeemoney - 9/22/2011, 10:01 AM
@Amarillo Agreed. Sleepy Hollow is still my favorite Burton film. He has style but usually not so much substance.

You know what would be awesome? A vampire movie. I mean, when was the last time anyone did one of those? Seriously, the vampire genre hasn't been fully expored yet! So suprised we don't see more of them...

Two comments:

1 - Hope this finally teaches people to stop nitpicking any set photo they see.
2 - Burton's creepyness is really annoying me from some time now.
