Barnabas Looms Large In New Shadows Stills


Warner Bros have released another batch of photographs from the new Dark Shadows movie, spotlighting Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins. The first two, shown above, feature him in modern dress with young David Collins (Gully McGrath), and amidst a haul of treasure in his eighteenth century clothes.

Additional pictures below show nanny Victoria Winters (Bella Heathcote) arriving at the Collinwood mansion, with Mrs Johnson (Ray Shirley) taking a nap; Barnabas holding court at the dinner table; Barnabas being comforted by his cousin Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer); Barnabas and the witch Angelique (Eva Green); Barnabas and Carolyn Stoddard (Chloe Grace Moretz) in her bedroom; Barnabas in Carolyn's room; Carolyn and young David; and finally, Barnabas spying on an intimate moment for Roger Collins (Jonny Lee Miller). Click on the images for larger views.

The US rating for Dark Shadows has also been confirmed this week, with the film receiving the anticipated PG-13 certificate for "comic horror violence, sexual content, some drug use, language and smoking."

And in other movie news, an Amazon listing for the download version of Danny Elfman's Dark Shadows original score reveals the individual durations of the album's tracks, with a combined time of 52 minutes 45 seconds. To read more, click here, but be warned that spoilers lie ahead.

Who is Roger with?

Something's up with Mrs Johnson - does anyone know who ray Shirley really is? I'm suspecting some kind of stunt casting there...

Drug use? What drugs are used in the film?

Since it's 1972, my guess would be marijuana. In the trailer, Carolyn does have the line where she asks Barnabas if he's "stoned".

I was about David's age in 1972 and I recognize what he's playing with. Those are Aurora dinosaur snap-together model kits. They were pretty ubiquitous for boys my age for the first half of the 70s. Good on Burton's prop dept for that one! Even cooler since the movie was made in England.
