Make Your Own Trailer With These Cool New ‘Dark Shadows’ Pics!
*Update: Images removed at the request of Warner Bros. Pictures.
Even more images from Dark Shadows have emerged, and I have to say these are some of my favorites. It’s nice getting a better look at Michelle Pfeiffer, Eva Green and Chloe Grace Moretz. What we still don’t have? A trailer that indicates if this film has the campy lilt in its step that’s been missing from Burton’s recent work.
“The story focuses on Barnabas Collins, who was transformed into a vampire by his jilted lover, Angelique, way back in the 1700s and buried. He’s just been dug up, and attempts to reintegrate with his descendants, led by Michelle Pfeiffer’s Elizabeth and Jonny Lee Miller’s Roger – despite the fact that Angelique is still around and still not in a forgiving mood.”
Directed by Tim Burton, the adaptation of the TV soap hits theaters May 11, 2012. That really does make it seriously weird that there isn’t a trailer yet. Though we do have almost enough images to cut our own!
Hit the jump to check out the pics from Cine Marcado! IMAGES UNFORTUNATELY REMOVED AT WARNER BROS. PICTURES’ REQUEST.
Andrzej Żuławski’s 1981 psychological horror movie Possession is getting a remake from Smile writer/director Parker Finn, and Deadline reports that The Batman actor Paul Dano has joined the cast.
No word at this time on character details, though.
The original film starred Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill as a married couple in Cold War-era West Berlin whose relationship spirals into a supernatural nightmare. In Finn’s update, Margaret Qualley and Callum Turner will star as the turbulent couple in Finn’s Possession, and Adjani has officially given her blessing on Qualley’s casting.
Parker Finn is writing and directing the new take on Possession.
He’s also producing alongside Jonathan Fass via Bad Feeling, along with Roy Lee and Andrew Childs via Vertigo, and Robert Pattinson. Marc Bienstock is serving as exec producer.
Our own Brian Keiper celebrated Possession‘s 40th anniversary here on BD back in 2021, writing: “Few movies depict emotional turmoil as effectively and daringly as Andrzej Zulawksi’s Possession. It is a challenging and sometimes inscrutable film, both for the mind and the emotions. Zulawski struggles through a number of deep issues throughout the course of the film; issues that speak to some of humanity’s deepest pains and fears. In many ways it is about loss— loss of political ideals, loss of faith, and loss of innocence. But most of all, Possession is about the fear, pain, and anger that comes from the loss of a marriage.”
This will mark Dano’s first horror role. The actor previously appeared in sci-fi hits Looper and Okja.
