Eva Green Joins Tim Burton's Dark Shadows

Deadline reports that Eva Green (Casino Royale) has been cast as Angelique in Tim Burton's Dark Shadows. A powerful witch who was alternately tormented and bewitched by her love-hate relationship with Barnabas Collins (Depp). So it looks like we can forget about those Dark Knight Rises rumors. Depp will star as Barnabas while Jackie Earle Hale and Bella Heathcote are in talks to join.
