French actress Eva Green, best known for her role of Vesper Lynde in Bond film Casino Royale, is in negotiations to star opposite Johnny Depp in Dark Shadows.
Depp has long been attached to play the vampire Barnabas Collins while Australian actress Bella Heathcote would play a waitress who resembles Collins' long-lost love. Green will play temptress Angelinque in Tim Burton's movie adaptation of 1966's supernatural TV soap opera, the Hollywood Reporter said.
Lara Parker had portrayed Angelinque in the TV drama. Green was recently seen in 'Womb', 'Cracks' and 'Perfect Sense'.
Seth Grahame-Smith has penned the script, and Depp, Graham King, Richard Zanuck, Christi Dembrowski and David Kennedy are producing.
Warner Bros acquired the rights from show creator Dan Curtis in 2007 but it hasn't yet set a release date.
