- DARK SHADOWS
Warner Bros. Pictures has revealed, through Empire, new
character posters for Tim Burton's Dark Shadows, opening in theaters on May 11.
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 Bouchard (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.
