Johnny Depp and Michelle Pfeiffer in New Image from 'Dark Shadows'

Just earlier today some new images from The Dark Knight Rises came from a huge preview issue of Entertainment Weekly, and now one more image has surfaced online, this one from Tim Burton's peculiar big screen adaptation of the 1960's gothic daytime serial Dark Shadows with vampires, ghosts, ghouls, zombies, werewolves, parallel universes and time-paradoxes. Johnny Depp and Michelle Pfeiffer are featured, and in a way, this gives us a different look at the film rather than the staged first look with the entire cast from last year. I still don't know what to expect from this film though. See the new photo below!

Here's the new image from Tim Burton's Dark Shadows from EW (via Bloody Disgusting):

Based on the 1960's gothic daytime serial with vampires, ghosts, ghouls, zombies, werewolves, parallel universes and time-paradoxes, Tim Burton is directing this adaptation of Dark Shadows written by author turned screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter). The film marks yet another collaboration between Burton and actor Johnny Depp, playing vampire Barnabas Collins, and the filmmaker's wife Helena Bonham Carter. The rest of the cast includes Chloe Moretz (Let Me In), Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen), Eva Green (Casino Royale), Michelle Pfeiffer (Stardust) and more. Warner Bros. is bringing Dark Shadows to theaters everywhere on May 11th, 2012. Looking good?

Burton really has been miss on the hit or miss category...perhaps he will redeem himself?

not by box office money. I didnt like AIW at all, but it made over a billion numbers. He hasnt really had a flop in a good while. I think he needs to do something original, but I dont wanna sit thru another Sucker Punch.

As long as Johnny Depp, is t he sucker doing the sucking I'll do the sitting <3

The Rum Diary was a flop.

THE RUM DIARY WAS AWESOME!!!!!!

The Rum Diary wasn't a Tim Burton film.

Rum Diary was also very good...despite how much money it made.

Isnt that the younger version of Barnabas? It is not Johnny Depp me thinks...

SO hard to see Depp in that picture. Looks cool. And Rum Diary was garbage..

He looks a boy! Can't wait to see this movie!!!

Jury's still out. I want so much to like this movie, since I was (and am) a fan of the series. I was a bit dismayed to hear Bonham-Carter say she thought it would be "funny." I can't think of any DS fans who want to see it made into a spoof. Depp, however, is also a fan, and owns the rights to the story, as I understand it, so hopefully he will keep the film true to its roots.

Eh...reserving judgement until this is in theaters is getting harder and harder.

I swear Depp is getting younger looking,this is a definite see.
Blargh

Just when you think Depp can't look so different in ANOTHER of the wall gothic movie he shows up pretending to be Robert Pattinson. Crazy times.

Looking forward to this!

This looks impressive, but Burton hasn't done a solid film in a good minute. We'll see if Johnny can steer this.

He looks like Jack White from the white stripes.

Ethan, from what I understand, the story line is supposed to take place after the events of the 60's show, which would be more along the lines of the Dark Shadows: Revival from the 90's. I think Barnabas is too pale in this pick, in the series he was not so noticibly pale, and with Pfeiffer standing next to him (who is already pale as a ghost) it just looks rediculous.
Mr. Tibbs

Hmmm that looks nothing like Johnny Depp

Alice Cooler has a cameo in this. That is my singular reason for seeing this. That, and to see Tim Burton parody himself for the fifth time.

*Cooper Much appreciated, auto-correct.

Dangerous Don Danger

Depp looks like he's ready to join the cast of Twilight. I'll reserve judgment until I see a trailer.
Johnny

Natemontalvo
