Vampire Johnny Depp in the first “Dark Shadows” trailer

by Dimitris Ioannou

It's been about two years since the last time Tim Burton and Johnny Depp worked together in “Alice in Wonderland”, but now the two friends have something new to show us. “Dark Shadows” is the latest Gothic-horror tale from the brilliant director and the first trailer is already online.

In the two and a half minute video we see Barnabas Collins played by Johnny Depp, transformed into a vampire and buried alive by an evil but sexy witch (Eva Green). Hundreds of years later, he escapes from the tomb and returns to his family home to meet his ancestors.

“Dark Shadows” is adapted from the cult TV show of the '60s with the same name. Though the theme might sound a bit scary, in fact the movie has a lot of funny moments -most of them by Johnny Depp- and seems to be one of Burton's best movies so far.

Besides the trailer a new poster published yesterday, revealing the entire cast of the film, including Michelle Pfeiffer, Chloe Moretz, Johnny Lee Miller and Helena Bonham Carter. The movie is scheduled for a May 11 release.

Take a look at the trailer below and let me know what do you think.

Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer in “The Lone Ranger”

The first image of Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer in “The Lone Ranger”, the movie's producer Jerry Bruckheimer shared with the world today, by using his twitter account.

As it is revealed Johnny Depp, who plays Lone Ranger's Native American companion Tonto, looks a lot like Jack Sparrow. His painted face, the long dark matted tresses and the crow on the top of his head, can easily confuse. On the other hand, Hammer seems ideal for the role of John Reid aka Lone Ranger, wearing a white hat and a black leather mask.

Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Wilkinson and William Fichtner also star in the movie, which is scheduled for a May 2013 release. It is an adventure tale that will take The Lone Ranger and Tonto across the American plains to bring justice to a corrupt system.

It's not the first time that director Gore Verbinski and Johnny Depp work together, as the duo did three of the “Pirates Of The Caribbean” movies and the animated “Rango”. Although Hammer featured in many blockbuster movies like “The Social Network” and lately “J. Edgar”, this year's “Mirror, Mirror” and next year with “The Lone Ranger” makes a major step on the Hollywood movie business.
