Re: Eva Green lands Burton's DARK SHADOWS Lead Opposite Depp
What, no Helena Bonham Carter...?! 
Green is a good choice. A real looker, a fine actress, and she has that waifish, pale, big-eyed Burton "look" most of his leading ladies possess (Carter, Winona Ryder, Christina Ricci, ect.). As sad as it makes me feel to say this, though, I'd actually like to see Burton and Johnny Depp spend a few movies apart from each other at this point. It was genuinely exciting to see their collaborations together when they came only once every five years or so, but ever since Charlie & The Chocolate Factory (the first Burton/Depp joint following Depp's post-Pirates Of The Caribbean box office clout), they've begun to fall into a rut of overfamiliarity. They should take a break from each other for another five years and recharge their creative batteries, as it were. Alice In Wonderland was the first Burton/Depp movie I didn't care for, and it was very disillusioning to me, like when The Simpsons started to go bad over a decade ago.
