Tarsem Sing's Snow White Movie

Lilly Collins will play Snow White

Film director Tarsem Singh (The Cell, The Fall) is working on a new film adaptation of the Brothers Grimm classic tale of Snow White. Phil Collin's beautiful daughter, Lilly Collins, will play the lead and Julia Roberts is cast as the evil queen. The movie is expected to be released in March 2012.

Tarsem is known for his amazing dream-like cinematography...if you have seen The Cell, you know what I'm talking about. It's an artistic level rarely seen in film. Though, he has his work cut out from him as Snow White: A Tale of Terror was pretty good. I have heard rumor that Tarsem's version was meant to be a comedy - which kind of scares me - but one thing is sure - if it's anything like The Cell it will be a dark and visually stunning masterpiece.

New Tim Burton Movie - Dark Shadows

The late 60s vampire TV series Dark Shadows is being made into a movie by Tim Burton. The cast will be the usual suspects: Johnny Depp (who will play the lead, of course) and Helena Bonham Carter. Michelle Pfeiffer is also included in the cast. She hasn’t worked with Tim Burton since she played the iconic role of Catwoman in Batman Returns.

The original gothic soap opera centers on Barnabus, the head of the Collinwood Manor in Maine.  It's 1752 and Barnabus is a rich and powerful playboy, but makes the mistake of breaking the heart of a witch who turns him into a vampire and buries him alive. He wakes up centuries later in 1972 to a world he doesn't remember.
