This one you’ll either love or you’ll hate.
Actually you might just love this trailer for several reasons unless you are a loyal fan of the original 594 episodes of the Dark Shadows TV series from 1966-1971 starring Jonathan Frid as Barnabas Collins. This appears to have little of the vibe of that dark series, yet it takes place in 1972, after the series ended, with a “fish out of water” story.
If you secretly wish Raul Julia was still around for another Addams Family movie, this may be your next movie to see.
Here is the trailer for the new Johnny Depp/Tim Burton film, Dark Shadows:
Starring Johnny Depp, the best actor of his generation, and directed by Tim Burton, Dark Shadows appears to go all out on the camp-retro view of TV of the 1960s and 1970s, like Nicole Kidman’s Bewitched.
Dark Shadows opens in theaters May 11, yet there has been very little released about the film until now. It features an all-star cast, including Eva Green (Casino Royale, Golden Compass), Michelle Pfeiffer (Batman Returns, Wolf), Helena Bonham Carter (Alice in Wonderland, Frankenstein, Harry Potter films), Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen), with Christopher Lee (Star Wars prequels, Lord of the Rings trilogy) and Alice Cooper.

really, you had me a Johnny Depp. but I have a total girl crush on Eva Green!
I’m very dissapointed by the trailer. I do love Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, but this looks nothing like the original show. This looks like a comedy and not a drama/horror. I understand when a movie is made from a show or book it is not exaclty the same, but this just seems far off. It doesn’t look like a bad movie and Tim Burton should’ve named it a different title.
