Trailer for *Dark Shadows*

You can see the trailer for Johnny Depp playing Jack Sparrow Barnabas Collins in Dark Shadows, opening May 11. Plus the wonderful Michelle Pfeiffer. Also, though alas, the ever more weird, and not in a good way, Helena Bonham Carter.


The re-creation of Dark Shadows as a disco era vamp flick, i.e. (the television series began in 1972), now long ago history, is quite inspired, leading as naturally as it does into spoof and satire, as an 18th century vamp meets 1972 USA. This could be fun.

Or, not ....
