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!
