Once again, my favorite female vampire is from "Dark Shadows" too. Angelique played by Lara Parker.

But whatever her traumatic backstory, she leaves me cold IMO, and I find it difficult to root for her as the heroine of the flic. Most angsty out-for-revenge fantasy types come with a dollop of quirkiness, charm or one nice characteristic or two to ensure we can't help liking them despite all the gloom and angst.

LOL, I don't know anything about her actual character or the narrative of the film... all I can say is that Kate Beckinsale looks *super* hot in that costume. (Yes, on occasion... on silly occasions like this... I can be a little shallow).

For some reason we didn't get that show where I was growing up so I'm not very familiar with the it. I'll add her when I get home tonight.

Tim Burton plans Dark Shadows next
"I'll definitely focus on that..."
BY James White Jul 22nd 2009 6:06AM
Tim Burton is planning to make his long-cherished adaptation of Dark Shadows a reality as his next film.
While he's still armpit-deep in post-production on Alice In Wonderland, he's told MTV that the supernatural soap is on his to do list, for a planned shoot next year.
“That’s something that Johnny (Depp) and I both love and are excited about,” the director says. “When I’m done with this I’ll definitely focus on that.”
Depp has been talking about it, too - listing as one of the movies he plans to make next year. And unlike some of his other future projects (coughPirates 4cough), it's a little further along.
But Burton admits there will be decisions to be made, specifically about the tone of the thing. "It’s another challenge because it was such a weird soap opera.
"Part of the energy of it was the tone and weirdness of it. That’s our challenge, to try to capture that vibe.”
What vibe? It's a show that blended soap opera convention with ghosts, zombies and werewolves, with Depp eyeing the meaty role of vampire Barnabas Collins (above).
And where does Burton think he'll go with it? “That remains to be seen. That’s a question and a challenge we talk about a lot. I haven’t arrived at the answer.
"That’s definitely a main issue, the tone and the vibe of it because as we all know melodrama can cross over. It’s one of the more interesting things about it.”
Still, you've got to admit that the more we learn, the more it feels perfect for Burton.

In what is called the WishVerse episodes of Buffy, both Willow and Xander make great vamps. Willow, played be Alyson Hannigan, is particularly disturbing. And she has a terrific line - "I feel kinda gay now."
