Dark Words

Actress Eva Green tells MTV News that her role as Angelique will be far different in Tim Burton‘s film version of  Dark Shadows film than the TV Series imcarnation Lara Parker played.




Green: "I haven't seen the TV series, but from what I've seen on the Internet, it's very different. My character is very different. She's American, blonde, cool, in the '70s. She is this sexy witch, very powerful in town, she's very cool. She has many faces."

Burton is keeping that 70's show setting Spanning 1,200 episodes, the show went from high camp to some serious moments. Burton take?

Green says "It's something that he's never done, I think. It's much more focused on the actors. It could almost be a play...The script is very powerful and funny. [Angelique's] relationship with Barnabas, that Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? relationship, very love-hate — it's very funny."

Johnny Depp is attached to play Barnabas Collins, the vampire patriarch of the series; Bella Heathcote and Jackie Earle Haley are circling the film too
