THIS! IS! The new trailer for 300 follow-up Rise Of An Empire , and it comes loaded with bloody, sweaty, steel-clashing imagery and imperious voice-overs. And, er, Ozzy Osbourne. With warrior King Leonidas and his brave soldiers dead, we follow what happens when Themistokles ( Sullivan Stapleton ) swears vengeance in the name of the mourning Queen Gorgo ( Lena Headey , who soon picks up weapons of her own) and takes up arms against a sea of invading Persians and by opposing, ends them - he hopes. There’s also something of an origin story for Persian god-wannabe Xerxes ( Rodrigo Santoro ), who himself deals with the death of his father by falling under the ambitious influence of naval commander Artemisia ( Eva Green ), dabbling in dark powers and becoming the powerful, crazed, golden monster we first met in 300. Naturally, after defeating Leonidas, he’s ready to conquer all of Greece, so Themistokles will have to stop him, and that means fighting on the ocean as well as the la

DARK SHADOWS Movie review By: Matt C Does  DARK SHADOWS  honor the trippy original, or cast further doubt on the Depp-Burton alliance? DARK SHADOWS  is a strange film to pin down, and that's usually a good thing for director Tim Burton (Batman). Over 10 films, he and actor Johnny Depp (Public Enemies) defined the genre of wacky with brilliant brush strokes, painting lush environments with memorable characters who defied convention. And while  DARK SHADOWS  contains its fair share of all the above, the film really exemplifies the "Jack of All, Master of None" mentality, something very un-Burton like. It doesn't know what it wants to be half the time, straddling between action, bizarre camp comedy, and watered-down horror, but doing none of them very well. Depp plays Barnabus Collins, an 18th Century vampire who is awakened in 1972 after being buried in an iron casket for enjoying the taste of human blood. Being a nightcrawler isn't really his fault:

Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard ( Michelle Pfeiffer ) has called upon live-in psychia

We have the newest character posters for Time Burton's Dark Shadows .  DARK SHADOWS opens May 11th, 2012 In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas ( Johnny Depp ) has the world at his feet—or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy…until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Brouchard ( Eva Green ). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. See them all after the Jump... Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand es

With Dark Shadows and Frankenweenie at various stages of completion, Tim Burton is a busy man at the moment. Jolly good of him, then, to dazzle our peepers with a new batch of character posters - sent, we'd like to think, from his personal email account. The posters of Barnabas Collins and co. augment the most recent batch of stills and this week's exceptionally promising trailer. Dark Shadows isn't a property immediately familiar on this side of the ditch, but all the signs are there that Burton and Johnny Depp have rebottled their Edward Scissorhands / Ed Wood lightning. The trailer's comic beats land and the design look is as lovingly outlandish as you could wish for. Watch the trailer and view all the posters after the Jump... In case you're not familiar with the US TV series, the premise sees 18th century playboy Collins cursed and turned into a vampire, before eventually reawakening into '70s America. Like a toothier 'Ted'
