Help Movieline Caption This Dark Shadows Photo of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton
We may have one Johnny Depp adaptation fast approaching (The Rum Diary opens in theaters October 28), but that doesn't mean we've forgotten about the other Johnny Depp adaptation down the line. Dark Shadows, the actor's next and eighth collaboration with Tim Burton will bring the forgotten '60s goth soap opera of the same name to life. Although it isn't due out until May 2012, Empire does have a sneak peak of the behind-the-scenes action. Do you have your captioning pens handy?
Good, because here is a photo of Depp in full bloody character make-up as Burton directs him. Depp plays Barnabas Collins, an 18th century vampire who awakens to find himself in the 20th century. The supernatural drama also stars Eva Green, Michelle Pfeiffer, Johnny Lee Miller, Chloë Moretz and, of course, Helena Bonham Carter. Like the original series that aired on ABC, Burton's Dark Shadows will also feature werewolves, warlocks, witches, zombies, and time travel. Oh my!
But enough about the cast, let's get to captioning. Ready, set, go!

Director Tim Burton says, "Johnny, let me read your palm! You must tell me who does your nails!" to actor Johnny Depp, a long-time contributor to Burton's movies.
'Hey Johnny hold up one bloody finger for every shitty live-action movie we've made together. ... Perfect. Now add my pinkie for Corpse Bride.'
"Yup. You totally lost your watch in there. Oh well. Once I pass it, I will give it back to you."
Burton: I"m just going to add a touch more white, just there...
Depp: Back off or I'll rip off your head and bury it under the Tree of the Dead - I'm sure it's in this film somewhere, right?
Mr. Depp continued to grow paler and more giddy as his director/friend took his time confirming that Johnny's left thumb had indeed fell off.
Tim: "Ha, ha. Look, Johnny! I've caught you red handed! Red handed! Get it?"
Johnny: "Heh. Yeah.. That''s... uh... a good one, Tim..." sigh.
Burton and Johnny Depp are back to making musicals. Here they prepare a scene from Cabaret... of DEATH!
"Yes...yes...oh yes. This is gonna look great, Johnny!"
"Helena."
"Sorry, Helena."
"I told you to remove your hand before you turn on the garbage disposal."
P.S. Check out my song about Barnabas Collins:

"I know that you're from the 18th century, Barnabas, but look, man...look at my red nails. See, you're supposed to polish just the nails...not the WHOLE hand!!"
