With every new awesome image revealed of [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/16504/personmain.jhtml"]Johnny Depp[/url] in "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/467378/moviemain.jhtml"]Dark Shadows[/url]," we feel more and more guilty about reacting negatively in our [url="%20http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2011/09/14/johnny-depp-dark-shadows-tim-burton/"]first look at his make-up[/url] in the upcoming [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/73701/personmain.jhtml"]Tim Burton[/url] film. A new shot of Depp as vampire Barnabas Collins shows him looking a bit more kid-friendly than we came to think of the character in the cult TV series, but we're still digging the look.

Up until now, the [url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2011/09/27/dark-shadows-photos-johnny-depp/"]images we've seen[/url] from the film have seemed to imply that Burton was taking a darker route, but could it be that "Dark Shadows" will have kid-friendly components as well? We'll just have to wait for the first trailer to get a better sense of what the movie has in store.

When MTV News caught up with Chloe Moretz at the [url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2012/01/13/chloe-moretz-dark-shadows-2/"]People's Choice Awards[/url], she argued that "Dark Shadows" would play to both younger and older crowds because of the way it brings together Burton-lovers and fans of the old TV show.

"I think also it's open to the older group that actually saw the TV show back in the 1970s," she said. "And also the new group that love Tim Burton, and they love supernatural movies and TV shows."

Moretz added, "I think it's a really revolutionary movie."

"Dark Shadows" stars Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter, Eva Green, Jackie Earle Haley, Jonny Lee Miller, Bella Heathcote, Moretz and Gulliver McGrath. It's due in theaters on May 11.
