If you wanted to get closer to Johnny DeppsBarnabas Collins in our official first look at the cast of Tim Burtons Dark Shadows last fall, heres your chance. Warner Bros. has released this closeup of Depp (and his vampire nails). Is it just me, or does he look younger than he did in The Tourist?

Barnabas Collins is an18thcentury gentleman who was transformed against his will into a vampire and buried in a tomb until hes uncovered by construction workers in the year 1972. As screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith told EW last year,hes still a ladies man. In some sense he can be a terrifying killer; on the other hand, women have a weakness for him and he has a weakness for women He can be a very well-mannered, well-meaning vampire most of the time, until his stomach is empty or someone challenges his beloved Collins family.

What do you think? Success?
