The main cast members of "Dark Shadows" are greeted by dedicated fans at the European premiere in London. 　　At the event, Helena Bonham Carter, the partner of director Tim Burton, reveals that being his lover does not automatically win her the role she wants. 　　"Actually to be honest on this one, Tim came to me and said 'You know what? I think we need to take a break because it's maybe getting too boring and predictable for everybody. I said 'Fine, fine I won't take it personally'. And then after about three weeks, he came back and said 'Actually I've got this part and can't think of anybody to play'. And I thought he meant the sexy, witchy, vampy part which is Eva, and he said 'No I can't ask a witch to play a witch', apart from the fact that I'm about 15 years too old. 'No, no, no it's got to be Dr. Hoffman', I thought 'Dr. Hoffman, she's the alcoholic, psychiatrist'. And he said 'Yeah, you're perfect! (The one) Who's got ageing problems!' and I said 'Thanks babe' " 　　Johnny Depp and Eva Green talk about their on-screen experience together, which was technically-challenging at times. 　　Depp: "It came out on the big screen because we were in harnesses and strapped together by harnesses and flying all over the place. It was pretty, pretty surreal." Green: "Johnny is very down-to-earth, very normal, has a great sense of humour. He's a gentleman. He makes you feel comfortable, that's very, very important," 　　"Dark Shadows" is in cinemas today, 5/11.
