Warner Bros. has finally debuted the first trailer for the supernatural comedy Dark Shadows [DRKSH] on Apple. Johnny Depp [JDEPP] and director Tim Burton [TBURT] teams up once again to adapt the TV series from the late 1960s. Depp stars as Barnabas Collins, a wealthy playboy in 1752 who gets turned into a vampire by a heartbroken witch, played by Eva Green [EGREE]. He awakens in 1972 to find his estate Collinwood Manor in disrepair and inhabited by his descendants, who are a dysfunctional bunch ruled by Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, played by Michelle Pfeiffer [MPFEI]. While the trailer has a certain goofy charm, how will today's young moviegoer react to what looks like the less famous neighbors of The Addams Family. Dark Shadows is set to open on May 11th.
