Now that filming on the Dark Shadows reboot is underway, some set photos have surfaced of Collinwood Manor, the castle-like domicile of the ancient Collins family. Artistically inventive and somewhat macabre, Tim Burton is the perfect choice to helm this cult favorite, originally a ’60s-era gothic soap opera.
Burton is directing the feature-film version of the vampire-ridden gothic soap, which made a name for itself not only for breaking day-time TV tradition with its supernatural themes, but also for its ridiculously low production values and bloopers.
With a powerhouse cast led by long-time Burton collaborators Johnny Depp as aristocratic vampire Barnabas, and Helena Bonham Carter as Dr. Julia Hoffman, this is definitely one reboot I can get behind. Not to mention the script was penned by Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter scribe Seth Grahame-Smith, and co-stars include Chloe Moretz, Eva Green, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jonny Lee Miller and Bella Heathcote.
Here are the pics, taken by a rabid fan and available thanks to Fan Pop. Looks like the Collins’ home base is shaping up nicely, with some great gothic architectural elements.
