What!?
Tim Burton casting Johhny Depp? I am shocked he would be so bold...
And I bet Depp plays him as an enigmatic weirdo with no social skills and a weirdly flamboyant and camp method of communicating which involves waving his hands around in the air as he talks for no reason..... just to be original.

Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

Been a DS fan since the days when it was running on my local PBS station back in the 80s. Burton's involvement in this latest version has always had me...worried about it. He seems to be a one-note director, doing the same thing over and over again. Hopefully he won't bufu my childhood memories too much.
Pfieffer's an excellent actress to be sure, but is she really old enough to play Elizabeth convincingly? Guess it's wait and see time.

Task Force Timmy, Grav/Rad Controller
Astral Paragon, Spines/Regen Scrapper

I wonder if he could get Danny Elfman to do the score?

I think Depp is a really good actor. While one may not like a specific characterization and not like that many are eccentric... at least they are not the same eccentricity.
So, I look forward to this Burton/Depp/Elfman vehicle.
Though, I am not going to delude myself for one second that this is "Dark Shadows."
Dark Shadows had a hot mess of meandering plotline over the years. Any pre-Twilight vampire flick set in an old mansion could have been equally labeled "Dark Shadows."
It's just a genre flick. The actual 'continuity' will be superfluous.
Though, I could use a good ol' high-camp, soap opera-y, penny dreadful, moody gothic horror flick.

Actually Dark Shadows is Depp's project, he brought in Burton to help him make it.

Another run (hopefully without bumping into furniture) at the good old Dark Shadows franchise.|

Hope this one fares better than the Ben Cross version from way the hell back. At least the Cross version showed that when you're not doing "one and done" the property works quite well.

Truth. Watch Pirates of the Caribbean and then Sleepy Hollow and try to tell me that Jack Sparrow and Ichabod Crane are the same character. They're very much... not. Toss in Ed Wood and Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas into the mix and you'll find that once again, yes while most of Depp's roles are eccentric personalities, they're not the same kind of eccentric.|

Furthermore, Depp is was named 2010's highest paid actor. That's something.

They aren't actually married, just long time partners. They share side by side condos IIRC, with a common 1st floor.

I see nothing wrong with Johnny Depp and Tim Burton together again.
Truthfully, I like it.
You have a good pairing, you should use it!

Common law marriage, so yeah they are sort of married. I believe that if you live with someone for over 5 years and have kids with that someone you are technically married.
