Johnny Depp As Barnabas Collins
Looking like he's had way too many Chemical Romances, Johnny Depp waves an acrylic prostate stabber in a new still from Tim Burton's Dark Shadows. I'm not sure if he looks like a white goth NeNe Leakes (it's the bangs and sharpened acrylic nail) to me or the love child that Liza Minnelli and Michael Jackson should've had together. That shit is unclear. But what's crystal meth clear is that Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are majority share holders in Hot Topic.
I know some grown ex-goths in their 30s who are going to break into their old high schools, fix their old records so it looks like they actually flunked and then re-enroll just so they can miserably stomp through the halls with a Dark Shadows t-shirt over their fishnet top and a Dark Shadows lunchbox in their hand. All bought at Hot Topic, of course. It's a GOTHSPIRACY!

It's like Edward Scissorhands finally got a haircut and lady hands.
When did Rob Thomas start wearing makeup? That looks like his last album cover a bit.
Ok I'll have to see it
Problem with these guys maybe they never go fallow
Just give it a break maybe then find new material

This Burton/Depp thing really is getting boring, particularily because the films Burton had done over the past decade have all been terrible, play it safe CGI borefests. Sleepy Hollow was last decent offering by these two. Ed Wood was excellent. And no, the Depp in his forties doesn't really rock the "squirky" anymore.

I was hoping for a simply handsome Johnny Depp playing Barnabus Collins just like the handsome Jonathan Frid played Barnabus. A LITTLE bit of make-up but not a whole Halloween-type thing. :( I'm still hoping for the best but if they ruin my memories I will be very sad. :(

For once I would like to see him play a normal role. I'm thinking along the lines of a middle-aged drunk struggling with an impending divorce. Somehow I think he would totally nail that one.

Hahahaha! I am pretty sure that if a director who he is a friend with (i.e. lets him do whatever the fuck he wants) asked him and there was always a supply of the sweet nectar on-hand, he might do something like that! I haven't heard a non-slurring sentence from him in over a decade.

These 2 azzholes just queefed all over another Classic. Fuck them both.
All I see in this pic is Jet Li. Sorry.
And I'm so over the Burton collaboration.
Do you think Johnny/Tim Burton wakes up each morning and askes himself "I wonder how wierd I can get?"
I am sick of Johnny Depp in these Tim Burton costume dramas. they are really substandard movies, and I always felt the whole point of all the elaborate dressing up Johnny did was just for the sake of .. dressing up! His horrible acting did not add anything to the easily likable characters such as Madhatter or Charlie. If anything, he made these characters super irritating.
Fuck this shit, Johnny Depp looks asinine as Barnaabas Collins. I will return am for this thread. WTF Damn it Can't they try anything new? Take a risk? Every fucking thing is a fucking remake. Assholes. Sucks. I am pissed off at this. Depp looks like an asshole, not a vampire. Jesus.
"Doc, I don't want to fly anymore"
Gee, do you think he might be sensitive, wacky, or downright oddball in this film? If Johnny Depp played a normal fucking person for once I might be impressed.

I must be the only one who loves Burtons movies...don't care who's in it, I love the way his mind works.
so YAYYYYYY!

UGH. Not again. Those two should be ashamed of themselves. Has Depp totally abandoned his 'career'?
The only one who could really do justice to Dark Shadows, imho, is Christopher Guest.
I'm thinking Eugene Levy as Barnabas. Catherine O'Hara as Angélique. Betty White as Elizabeth Collins, etc.
Maybe a behind the scenes thing.

I like Depp, Ben Cross was good in the TV remake in the 90's, but the only true Barnabas will always be Jonathan Frid.

And Robert Smith called to remind everyone that HE is the King of the Goths.
The next Burton/Depp collaboration will be called "Beating a Dead Horse" with Johnny playing the dead horse.
He really digs himself in that look, huh?

I love Tim Burton. I love Johnny Depp. But this is ridiculous. Depp is more CGI'd than Andy Serkis as Gollum. His face doesn't look like that. He's 48 years old for fuck's sake!
------------------------------------------
I agree, but I guess since he's a vampire he's not supposed to show his age.
Tim Burton has gotten a lot of my money this decade through sheer force of nostalgia. I adored Edward Scissorhands, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, Ed Wood, etc. growing up, and get into "I've gotta see that!" mode each time a new Burton film comes out. But, Sweeney Todd is the only one I've really liked in over a decade. (I felt pretty "meh" from Big Fish on...)
Maybe I'm just too old or too cynical.

I can't even own Big Fish because even looking at it makes me cry. That movie is a sob fest from beginning to end.
I could be wrong but I think looking a bit ridiculous is the point here. Why something that is basically a zombie mosquito is an object of desire is a bit ludicrous anyway.
He looks like one of the models in the Louis Vuitton runway show in Paris yesterday.

Funniest thing!
Ugh, these bitches. I don't think "Tim Burton movie" and "Hot Topic" can even be used in separate sentences anymore, they're so intertwined. Glad to know I'll be able to find all the Dark Shadows swag in between the Breaking Dawn throw rugs and hot pink corsets.

The great thing about dark shadows was that it didn't take itself seriously..and yet it DID! Burton is going to make it a big joke like Alice which should have been deadly serious and terrifying which it IS!
No, no, no! Its all wrong!!! I knew Burton was going to fuck this up!!
Yes! Another variation of the same character he does in every movie! I hope he uses his British accent.
I want Johnny Depp to be normal again and stop playing variations on Edward Scissorhands.
Apparently he and Vanessa Paradis are over.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one sick of all this.
I've loved Johnny Depp since 21 Jump Street. He was the hottest in CryBaby but I would let this city version drink some blood, no question!!!
Ew, he looks like that little demon boy from The Grudge.

Oh fuck yes, LOLOLOLOL!!!!
Who in her life tells her she pulls off that haircut...
Anyway, would it kill Tim Burton to find some new blood? (bah-dum-tsss) If I was a vampire, I wouldn't wait until I had the skin of 40+ years of smoking cigarettes with matching toofs and years of unwashed bohemian grime on me to become one, à la monsieur Depp. I'm all for wrinkled people rights and am not ageist, but isn't the whole vampire fantasy completely based on the idea of being young and beautiful forever? -At least it has been since the 60s, pretty much. Dude has nothing going on anymore and he and Fishsticks Paltrow and Jimmy Fallon need to go back to the hell cave of people who can't stop smirking and giggling whilst they "act" that they came from.
I'm not a Depp fan, but we saw Public Enemies a few years back where he played Johnny Dillinger. Not at all parody-like, and nicely done.
I agree with those saying his cartoon characters are running together.
clearly, that's ginnifer goodwin.

Well, I am out for a bit. UGH! Got to stop by the store for some food. HATE IT!
I can tell it sucks (no pun intended) already!!!
Why does hollwood continue to ruin classics??
I bet Depp is kicking himself for not landing the role of Beetlejuice back in the day. What'shisface hit it out of the park in Beetle Juice...Michael Keaton.

I feel about the makeup. Willy Wonka was an MJ impersonator, I guess Barnabas is going to be Edward Cullen gone super goth.

Vampire movies have been done to death. Will this be a parody? The beauty of watching "Dark Shadows" was following the sound boom above the actors heads and when the characters fell seeing they were falling on pillows.
That has to be some kind of joke. He looks like Eddie Munster, and even Eddie is scarier than that.
*see's nothing but Johnny/Burton hate*
WELL FUCK ALL YA'ALL!!!!!!!!!!!
*stomps off slamming door*
Johnny, seriously, it's time to take a break from the Burton films. The characters are fusing together and I can't tell one from the other.
Here's something new for Johnny!
Do you think this character will be at all campy?
*eyeroll*
After all these years, he is still just taking roles and working with directors where he can drink all of the time on-set. I haven't heard him in anything lately that does not require some slurring.
Pity. I certainly see why his partner has kicked his drunk ass out though. Or she will, anyway.
Those nails make me cringe. Every time I see a celebrity (I'm looking at you Rihanna) with those long pointy nails I just want to grab them, shake them unconscious and clip away yelling obscenities in Korean.
