Jonny Lee Miller is set to join Johnny Depp in Tim Burton’s DARK SHADOWS. Based on the 1960″²s TV series created by Dan Curtis, the story follows Barnabas Collins, a 200-year old vampire who lives in an isolated manor house in the sleepy seaboard town of Collinsport, Maine. Miller will play Roger Collins, the ineffectual brother of the Matriarch of the Collins’ household, Michaelle Pfeiffer’s Elizabeth Collins Stoddard.
Tim Burton will direct from a screenplay by Seth Grahame-Smith and John August. Graham King produces with Burton, Johnny Depp, Christi Dembrowski, David Kennedy and Richard D. Zanuck, with Katterli Frauenfelder co-producing and Nigel Gostelow serving as exec producer.
Miller is repped by IFA Talent Agency.
