Director Tim Burton brings the cult classic series
“Dark Shadows” to the big screen in a gothic comedy featuring an all-star cast,
led by Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer and Helena Bonham Carter. Check out

recently revealed by Warner Bros.
Synopsis: In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas,
set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even
an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their
family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Depp) has the world at his feet—or
at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor,
Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy…until he makes the grave
mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Green). A witch, in
every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death:
turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive.
Two
centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into
the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find
that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional
remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their
own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Pfeiffer) has
called upon live-in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman (Bonham Carter), to help
with her family troubles.
Also residing in the manor is Elizabeth’s ne’er-do-well brother, Roger Collins,
(Jonny Lee Miller); her rebellious teenage daughter Carolyn Stoddard (Chloe
Moretz); and Roger’s precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins (Gulliver
McGrath). The mystery extends beyond the family, to caretaker Willie
Loomis, played by Jackie Earle Haley, and David’s new nanny, Victoria Winters,
played by Bella Heathcote.
Opening across the Philippines in May 2012, “Dark Shadows” is distributed by
Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
