Film 945: Dark Shadows




Film 945: Dark Shadows

Trivia: This is Tim Burton's eighth film with Johnny Depp, his seventh film with Helena Bonham Carter, his fifth film with Christopher Lee, and his second film with Michelle Pfeiffer (Pfeffer had starred in Batman Returns twenty years previously).

Anne Hathaway, Lindsay Lohan and Jennifer Lawrence auditioned for the role of Angelique.

To prepare for his role as Barnabas Collins, Johnny Depp undertook a weight-loss regime and a diet of green tea and low-sugar fruit, getting his weight down to 140 pounds.

Eva Green described her role of Angelique as "Bette Davis and Janis Joplin mixed together."

Tim Burton:  [Jack Skellington]  Jack's face appears on the scarecrow amongst the pumpkins at the manor when Willie first meets Barnabas.
