    First Official Look at Dark Shadows That Will Excite Your Parents & Emo Community

    Obviously those pictures of Johnny Depp on the set of Dark Shadows caused some unease.

    A week later and we've got a full-spread, puff-piece (via EW) displaying the first official looks at Depp's Barnabas Collins and the rest of the cast along with character breakdowns and quotes from Depp, director/Depp BFF Tim Burton, producer Richard D. Zanuck and screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith.

    The fair thing for me to do is wait for the theatrical trailer to drop (which will probably be around the holiday season) before I pass judgment. Even then, I'd have to be fair-minded and remember that we've seen great trailers to shitty movies and shitty trailers to great movies. Indeed, I should be fair and keep an open mind. But it's the well-oiled Depp/Burton machine at work again and I can't muster any feeling for them and/or this movie other than boredom.
