Jackie Earle Haley circling the Willie Loomis role in Dark Shadows
Jackie Earle Haley will play Willie Loomis if he signs on, which was a key part in the original Dark Shadows soap opera, which aired from 1966 to 1971. Loomis is a small-time con artist who, upon discovering a portrait of Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp) wearing several luxurious jewels, decides to break into his coffin and rob him. Instead, he wakes the vampire from his slumber and is enslaved. Bella Heathcoate is up for the role of Victoria Winters, the young keeper of the Collins estate.
Tim Burton is directing Dark Shadows from a screenplay by Seth Grahame-Smith and John August. We reported back in November that Dark Shadows will start shooting in April.
Dark Shadows was released May 11th, 2012 and stars Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter, Eva Green, Jackie Earle Haley, Jonny Lee Miller, Bella Heathcote, Chloe Moretz. The film is directed by Tim Burton.
