Johnny Depp Is A Creepy Vampire In ‘Dark Shadows’

Johnny Depp

 
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.

Click through for one more still from Dark Shadows.

Sandra Bullock’s Sexy Suit At ‘Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close’ Premiere

Sandra Bullock rocked a sexy fitted pantsuit for the red carpet premiere of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, held at the Zeigfeld Theater in New York City on Thursday night.

Bullock chose the black satin pants, plunging neckline jacket and stingray belt from Alexander McQueen’s Spring 2012 line.

She kept her accessories simple by wearing only a couple of large cocktail rings and a carrying a dark silver metallic clutch.

The Oscar winning actress also wore her hair sleek and straight for a winning look.

Bullock, 47, has very little screen time in this drama which focuses on a young boy who loses his father in the September 11th terrorist attacks and his search through New York City for a mysterious box his dad left him.

Bullock said the amount of screen time wasn’t an issue for her; it was the quality of the part and the other folks involved in the film who made it worth her while.

“It’s truly this amazing story of this child’s point of view of what happened in his life that was this horribly tragic event,” she said at her visit to NBC’s Today Show. “And to see it through his eyes is far more, I think poignant and impactful, than to see it through an adult’s eyes.”

“I’ve already had those moments [starring, larger roles], I think. I mean, there might be more, I don’t know, but I don’t know how many moments and opportunities like this there’ll be — with stories like this, with directors and casts like this — it’s like the rare moments in life where all the elements are there, and they all come together for some strange or bigger reason.”

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is in theaters on Christmas Day.

New ‘Dark Knight Rises’ Poster Released

The Dark Knight Rises

A new poster for the third and final movie in Christopher Nolan‘s Batman franchise, The Dark Knight Rises, has been released.   Captioned “The Legend Ends,” the poster shows a gloomy, rainy scene with Batman’s broken mask lying on the ground while the movie’s villain, Bane, walks away.

The image and caption, along with star Christian Bale‘s confirmation that he’s finished with the role of Bruce Wayne, have some wondering if Nolan has actually killed off Batman.   While it may not be an actual death, if Nolan stays true to the mythology, something tragic is going to happen:  in the “Knightfall” story arc from The Batman comic books, Bane breaks Batman’s back, leaving him crippled.

Fans are eagerly waiting for the film’s release next summer.  Nolan says he welcomes the anticipation and hype:

“It’s terrific, to have people that interested in something. It reminds you that it is a real honor to work on something that means so much to people.  I’d love to be able to claim that I invented the whole thing and that’s why they’re interested. I did not. I’ve been given a very precious thing to do my best with, to look after and not to let people down. There’s a certain amount of fear that comes with it and intimidation but it’s also a great privilege. [As for the fans], they want it to be great, they want to go enjoy it and they’re fascinated by it. You know, there’s always controversy regarding things that people will disagree with but hopefully they appreciate the effort of trying to make something good.”

Catch The Dark Knight Rises in theaters on July 20, 2012.
