Last Updated on July 23, 2021

So Tim Burton’s highly anticipated(?) DARK SHADOWS is almost here and all we’ve seen for this thing is some stills. Really? Come on now. No posters… no clips… not even a trailer. Well that’s about to change!

It’s just been announced that the DARK SHADOWS trailer will be debuting tomorrow March 15th on ….. The Ellen Degeneres Show?! Really?? I guess they’re really going after that soap opera crowd huh? Regardless this is some great news in my book! So we’ll finally get a look at this thing tomorrow. Natch.

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 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 Brouchard. 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 has called upon live-in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman, to help with her family troubles.

Also residing in the manor is Elizabeth’s ne’er-do-well brother, Roger Collins; her rebellious teenage daughter Carolyn Stoddard; and Roger’s precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins. The mystery extends beyond the family, to caretaker Willie Loomis and David’s new nanny, Victoria Winters.

DARK SHADOWS sports an explosive cast that includes Johnny Depp, Eva Green (below), Helena Bonham Carter, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jackie Earle Haley, Chloe Moretz, Gulliver McGrath, Bella Heathcote, Ray Shirley and Jonny Lee Miller. It’s set to hit theaters on May 11th but don’t forget the trailer for this thing drops tomorrow on The Ellen Degeneres Show!
