Eva Green to join Dark Shadows cast

Eva Green ("CASINO ROYALE", "KINGDOM OF HEAVEN") is in talks to join the cast of Tim Burton's "DARK SHADOWS" for Warner Bros. Pictures. A feature adaption of the classic 1960s soap opera, the film stars Johnny Depp as vampire Barnabas Collins.


This will be the fifth version of the Dark Shadows story to be told (sixth if you count the Gold Key comic book from the sixties). There was the original soap opera (which Barnabas didn’t become a part of until the second season, though he has since become its most enduring character), two feature films in the seventies, the revival series of the early nineties, and a failed pilot for The CW from 2004. Dark Shadows was also groundbreaking in being one of the first franchises to show the vampire in a sympathetic light, hating his existence and longing for his humanity. It also followed Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend as showing vampirism as a medical disorder.
