New Dark Shadows Trailer

Hello again! Here we have the new trailer for Dark Shadows, Tim Burton's upcoming film adaption of the classic gothic soap opera starring Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins. Check it out above!

My Thoughts:

Now, I usually like Burton's films. Nightmare Before Christmas is a classic and Beetlejuice is a cool film. Depp is usually very good in his roles too, examples being Jack Sparrow and Edward Scissorhands. I'm not very knowledgable about the original Dark Shadows show, but I do know that it was a soap opera featuring vampires and other horror-specific elements. When I heard Burton was doing a new version of this, I thought he would have great potential to make this a good film, since it seems like his style. But, the thing is, I'm not so sure about this after watching the trailer. The movie seems like it has way too much of a comedic tone, and from what I know, the original show wasn't so comedic. I always liked Burton as a director, but I can honestly say that his recent offerings haven't lived up to what he used to do in the 90's. This doesn't seem like it will be any different. But, who knows? Maybe this trailer is misleading and the film could turn out better than I expect. If the film gets good reviews, I'll probably consider checking it out.
