Another New And Creepy Image Of Johnny Depp In DARK SHADOWS

Is it just me or Johnny Depp‘s character Barnabas Collins in Tim Burton‘s movie version of DARK SHADOWS looks creepier than Depp’s Willy Wonka character in Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, also helmed by Burton?!
I liked Ricky Gervais’ joke about Depp at the Golden Globes, calling him ‘the man who’d wear anything that Burton tells him to’

In 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.

DARK SHADOWS opens May 11th, 2012

  1. I’m curious. It’s the first time I’m looking forward to a Depp character in a long time. That’s something.

  2. The long nails and red lips are a distraction. The original Barnabas Collins, whose iconic image is quite faithfully reproduced here via costume, hair, darkened eyes, and pale skin, never sported such anomolies. Despite these jarring elements of the “re-imaging”, I greatly look forward to seeing Mr. Depp’s take on this fascinating character.
