Giving English fans a thrill, the cast of
"Dark Shadows" was in the house for the UK premiere in London today (May
9).
Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Chloe
Moretz, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Eva Green all turned out for the big affair, held
at the Empire Leicester Square.
Of the initial idea for the flick, Depp
told press that he and director Tim Burton had a very specific motivation and
vision.
"Tim and I talked early on: a vampire
should look like a vampire. It was a rebellion against vampires that looked like
underwear models."
As for his character Barnabas Collins,
Johnny noted, "I wanted Barnabas to come across as ... this very elegant upper
echelon, well-schooled gentleman who's cursed in the 18th century and brought
back to probably the most surreal era of our time - the 1970s - and how he would
react to things. Not just with technology and automobiles and such, but actual
items of enjoyment for people like pet rocks, fake flowers, plastic fruit, troll
dolls, lava lamps and the macramé owls."
