Eva Green cast as female lead in Dark Shadows

i think a lot of fans are already freaking out because there is no trailer or even a poster and the movie is due in two months or so.



Thank you for answering my question! I had begun to wonder if possibly I had missed seeing a trailer for it, given the fact that as you pointed out, May is just two months off. It seems odd that they haven't released one yet.
 
i don't care for the giant necklace he's wearing...other than that he looks ok.
 
Eh. Still waiting for the trailer to get the full vibe of where they are going with this. Depp looks like a cross between Nosferatu and Barnabas. Why would they go for a scary blend if they are going to push comedy marketing? Maybe comedy isn't the word, maybe they think it is quirky bizarre or something, like all the quirky Burton fans who like him but not Dark Shadows need to be reached?

Trailer! Trailer!

My sister sent me this link too, much of the same

I still predict we'll get our first trailer later this month. I don't think they're pushing this to be a comedy, as others have mentioned before, there has always been a certain level of cheekiness and camp to "Dark Shadows". I think the feel because Burton is involved is that they'll over do it to the point where the movie will be wrecked. Kind of like "Alice in Wonderland". The original script was wonderful and compelling...that changed when Burton started working on the project.
 
some new pics. Burton and Depp with several of the original Dark Shadows actors...and Alice Cooper.

Cool. Any thoughts or confirmations on who everyone is playing?

You know how impatient I get Admiral! I agree, the over the top Burton style is what worries me. I like the old Edward or Sleepy Hollow vibe, mildy quirky and creepy but room for suspense and scares or gore. Not the Alice parody stuff. Even Sweeney Todd just seemed to bizarre, singing while slitting people's throats. It works on stage but this duo has been too far off for too long now for me.

Oh, trailer hurry up so we know!

The elder cast still looks great!

I think the cast is pretty well known already.

Gulliver McGrath as David Collins
Helena Bonham Carter as Dr. Julia Hoffman

^^ That's what I thought, too.

Those are great photos. It's great to see everyone together.
