Sneak Peak at
"Dark Shadows"
In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son
Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in
America.
But even an ocean was not enough to escape the
mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and
Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet--or at least the town
of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is
rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy...until he makes the grave
mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green).
A
witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse
than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. Two
centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and
emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin.
The
dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better,
each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth Collins
Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) has called upon live-in psychiatrist, Dr.
Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), to help with her family troubles.
Also residing in the manor is Elizabeth's ne'er-do-well
brother, Roger Collins, (Jonny Lee Miller); her rebellious teenage
daughter Carolyn Stoddard (Chloe Moretz); and Roger's precocious
10-year-old son, David Collins (Gulliver McGrath). The mystery extends
beyond the family, to caretaker Willie Loomis, played by Jackie Earle
Haley, and David's new nanny, Victoria Winters, played by Bella
Heathcote.
