Michelle Pfeiffer Heading for "Dark Shadows"

Michelle Pfeiffer, who played Catwoman in Tim Burton’s 1992 Batman Returns, is in talks to team up with the director again in Burton’s feature film adaptation of the vintage TV soap opera Dark Shadows, which also stars Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins.

According to Deadline Hollywood, Pfeiffer is up for the role of Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, the reclusive matriarch of the Collins clan and owner of Collinwood (a part that was played by Joan Collins in the TV series), while Helena Bonham Carter, who has become a recurring fixture in Burton’s films (and in his life), will likely portray Dr. Julia Hoffman, a specialist in psychology and rare blood disorders.
