‘Dark Shadows’ Release New Character Promo Photos
Ladies and the Vamp

Back in January we got to see a few new photos from Tim Burton‘s upcoming big screen adaptation of Dark Shadows and today we get to see a few more promo photos from the film. Some of Burton‘s Dark Shadows characters are featured in the new issue of Vanity Fair magazine and an industrious reader managed to get their hands on a copy so that they could share scans of the photos with all of us. Click below to see Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Eva Green and Helena Bonham Carter in character below.

[A] few character images from Burton’s take on the popular soap Dark Shadows have gone online. The film centers on a vampire named Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp) who is awakened after having been buried for 200 years and must now attempt to integrate with his descendants. The premise sounds eerily fun, but I’m a little surprised that we’ve yet to see a trailer for the film given that it opens in a little over two months. The previous images we’ve seen have carried Burton’s signature touch, and these character images continue along that path. Depp is covered in makeup giving his best “Do I look weird or something?” face and looks to have disappeared into the character, while Eva Green, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Helena Bonham Carter (surprise!) all look like normal people living in a slightly hyper-realistic world. I’m intrigued by the premise and cast, and I’m really hoping we see a trailer for this one soon so we have a better idea of what to expect from the full film … The film also stars Chloe Moretz, Jackie Earle Haley, and Jonny Lee Miller. Dark Shadows opens May 11th.


I’m usually on the fence with Tim Burton films … they can be either really good or REALLY bad. This one, thus far, looks like it’s got the right amount of camp to make the film really fun. I, too, am dying to see a trailer … but for now, I’m happy with these photos. Helena Boham Carter looks so damn fun in this role … I am really looking forward to seeing her and the entire cast in action.

    God, the makeup looks terrible in this. I hope it just looks this over the top in the promo photos.

    I’m not a fan of how Depp looks, but I don’t know anything about Dark Shadows

    Wow, this looks pretty awful so far and I used to be a big Tim Burton fan back in the day. He just plain sucks now =/ What used to be an interesting creativity feels so forced from him these days.

    It’s appropriate Helena Bonham Carter has the initials she does because she is totally the HBiC.

    Just another cartoon character for Depp. I remember the original Dark Shadows and Barnabas looked nothing like that. This movie will be a campy crapfest. Depp is so overrated.

    blah, yet another film centered around Johnny Depp dressed up in a funny costume. bored now.

    Don’t leap straight in with a acne selfmade mask.You can regret it’s you’re not even careful.

    If person ever stated to you the fact that rubbing numerous vegetable within your face makes an bad acne mask that actually works.Or a number of crazy particular facial solution product will likely be yours although they might slapping for a herb or perhaps spice :open ones ears together with listen difficult, because likely hear your face yelling over for whim.

    SOME homemade pimples mask could sound really appealing, and which will mask could possibly smell in no way too damaging with fruit peels etcetera smothering all the pores upon your face, but bear in mind that an acne homemade mask should be only as total – and also means seeing that clean, and totally free of bacteria :as which will kitchen countertops where its created.

    Acne pimples Mask That may be Homemade Low-priced…Or Face cleaner That Treats Your face With Admiration

    The subject matter is with a little luck obvious that her cheap hand made product isn’t giving your face the ‘props’ that deserves.Whether you absolutely need an bad acne mask or perhaps a facial face cleaner, your face is going to be much better off once you just scuff that homespun acne disguise or almost every other homemade concoction to a facial cleansing off ones grocery-shopping listing.

    A self-made product is exactly what a doctor ordered for anyone who is making cranberry muffins or even bowl about oatmeal, however your sensitive face is really a different area of interest altogether, especially when you are afflicted by acne not to mention need any acne hide or facial cleanser that is appropriate – without having it make that person worse out.

    Look with your bathroom mirror as well as get yourself if that handmade acne cover will treat see your face states it all wanted it to remain treated.Then just click these links for that right solutions for acne breakout, since that organic mask might now mercifully be from sight.
