30-Day Smackdown: Which Will Make More, "Dark Shadows" or "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter"?

AKA Tim Burton the director vs. Tim Burton the producer. These two flicks have the same screenwriter (Seth Grahame-Smith) and the same weirdly awesome retro-horror-action vibe that is typically of so many of Burton’s films. But Dark Shadows has what’s now become known as Burton’s signature cast: the dynamic duo of Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter, with several other big names as backup (Michelle Pfeiffer, Eva Green, Jonny Lee Miller, just to name a few). And Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter has a wacky, quirky premise based on the well-selling novel of the same name and by the same screenwriter. Fans of the dark, Burtonesque stuff are just as likely to enjoy either flick--but even though Dark Shadows is quintessentially Burton, people might be tired of that formula. We’re betting on the one that’s a little fresher, a little different, and definitely kooky--bring on the vampire hunters.

Well, I see this as neck in neck lol....all that blood. Seems everything now is vampire this and vampire that yep.Take "True Blood" this TV series is even bloodier than these two vampires put together and all they do is "hunt and kill" each other trying to keep their identities a secret. At least the secret of these two movies is out--they both are "neck in neck"..But I'll put my bet on Depp anyday.

Ouch, this one hurt to lay my money down on...not at all a Depp fan, but I know he has many. And I know the Depp/Burton combination will be huge here. My feeling is that "Shadows" may carry all the following the Twilight series had. We'll have to see how this one plays out.

Dark Shadows was my favorite wheni was growning up. Who would of thought of turning an old show into a fun filled movie. I love it already. Can't wait to see this movie.
