Casting Notes: Eva Green Gets 'Dark Shadows' Nod Jesse McCartney in 'Locke & Key'
Date: 2/4/2011

Sexy Bond girl Eva Green, who broke Daniel Craig/James Bond?s heart in Casino Royale, has landed the female lead in Tim Burton?s resurrection of the 1960s vampire soap opera Dark Shadows. According to Deadline, Green has won the key role of Angelique a powerful witch ensnared in a love/hate relationship with vampire Barnabas Collins, who will be played in full Goth drag by Johnny Depp. Jackie Earle Haley (Human Target) and Bella Heathcoate are also in talks for major roles in the film according to Deadline.

With remakes of Dark Shadows, The Thing, Scream and so many other vintage horror films, it?s easy to forget that occasionally Hollywood will try something new, especially on the small screen. Case in point is Fox?s adaptation of Joe Hill?s IDW horror comic, Locke & Key. According to Deadline, actor/singer Jesse McCartney has landed the role of Ty, the oldest of the Locke children. His deal completes a cast that includes Miranda Otto as his mother Nina, and Sarah Bolger and Skylar Gaertner as his siblings Kinsey and Bode.
