It used to be that the business of stirring up interest in forthcoming movies was left to actual movie trailers, but now the trailers themselves have "teasers" to intrigue fans with the prospect of getting to watch an actual two-minute trailer in a week or two.  So it is with this very brief glimpse of footage from Tim Burton's Dark Shadows feature, which made its way on to the Ellen show.

With Tim Burton's Dark Shadows film opening on May 11th more footage from what appears to be a very reverential reboot of the gothic TV soap opera should be available soon, though Burton has kept a tight lid on the project, only releasing a few tantalizing images (see “New Photo of Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins”).
