document: &#039; Dark Shadows &#039; update : Chloe Moretz in talks to join cast If I was n't already totally pumped for Tim Burton 's '' `` Dark Shadows '' '' movie -LRB- which I already was -RRB- , the latest casting news would be enough to do it . Chloe Moretz is reportedly now in talks to sign on . According to Deadline Hollywood , the young star of '' `` Kick Ass '' '' and '' `` Let Me In '' '' would play Carolyn , daughter of Collins matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard , who 's going to be played by Michelle Pfeiffer . Moretz , who just wrapped on Martin Scorsese 's '' `` Hugo Cabret , '' '' played a vampire in '' `` Let Me In . '' '' Carolyn became the victim of vampire Barnabas Collins in earlier incarnations , notably the feature based on the original soap , '' `` House of Dark Shadows . '' '' Carolyn is clearly going to be younger in this version . Moretz is only 14 . This will be her second outing with Johnny Depp , who is playing Barnabas Collins in Burton 's movie , and is top-billed in '' `` Hugo Cabret . '' '' Advertisement '' `` Hugo Cabret '' '' also features Sir Christopher Lee , for my money the best screen Dracula . Yesterday it was announced that young Aussie actor Gulliver McGrath , who auditioned for the part of Hugo Cabret would be playing the role of David Collins in '' `` Dark Shadows . '' '' The part of Hugo Cabret ultimately went to Asa Butterfield , but McGrath did end up with a small part in the movie . David is the charge of governess Victoria Winters , a classic mold gothic heroine who will be played by Bella Heathcoate . It 's widely believed at this point that Michael Sheen , known to be circling the project , will play David 's father , Roger Collins .
