Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Johnny Depp is set to play vampire Barnabas Collins in Tim Burton's upcoming film Dark Shadows and will be joined by Bond girl Eva Green ( Casino Royale), who has been cast as the witch Angelique.
Based on the popular and campy gothic US television show from the 1960s, the story involves encounters with various monsters, werewolves and ghosts.
Previously reported, Jackie Earle Haley ( Nightmare on Elm Street) and Bella Heathcote are in talks to join the cast. Heathcote will play Victoria, the governess on the estate, and is also set to be featured in Twylight Zones, a 1960s-set rock film by David Chase ( The Sopranos).
The screenplay is by Burton's scribe, John August ( Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), and Seth Grahame-Smith, who wrote the mash-up novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and the book and screenplay for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
The film goes into production in April for release in 2012.
