Johnny Depp and Tim Burton are teaming up again to for this year’s upcoming Dark Shadows.  The movie is an adaptation of the 1960s TV show of the same name, and focuses on the vampire Barnabas Collins.  He was cursed by a witch and turned into a vampire.  When he escapes his tomb 200 years later, in 1972, he finds his hometown very changed, and his descendants dysfunctional.

You really get a sense of Depp’s character from these recently released stills.   It’s a different type of role for Depp – proving that he can pretty much do anything – and yet it also seems familiar, reminiscent of both Willy Wonka (Charlie & The Chocolate Factory) and The Mad Hatter (Alice In Wonderland)… both also Burton films, by the way.  Oh, and speaking of Burton films, you know who else is in this movie:  Helena Bonham Carter, of course.
