Johnny Depp causes chaos at London premier

Scores of screaming Johnny Depp fans descended on Leicester Square where the movie star attended the premier of Dark Skies which is directed by Tim Burton.

The life of Johnny Depp is clearly very theatrical; Johnny Depp’s personal security officer was clearly feeling the pressure when Johnny rode through Westminster with his window down.

The setting for the after party couldn’t have been better. Temple Place resembled a medieval castle and was decked in purple lights and vampire models

The pouring rain added to the sense of atmosphere and although scheduled to finish at 12.am Johnny kept the cleaners, staff and paparazzi up for a further two hours when he exited the venue at 2.am.

Dark Shadows stars Johnny Depp, Jackie Earle Haley, Eva Green, Bella Heathcote, Michelle Pfeiffer, Thomas McDonell, Gulliver McGrath, Chloe Moretz and Helena Bonham Carter.

Synopsis: “In the year 1752 Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England, to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass, and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet — or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy…until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Brouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire and then burying him alive.

Two centuries later Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) has called upon live-in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), to help with her family troubles.

Also residing in the manor are Elizabeth’s ne’er-do-well brother, Roger Collins (Jonny Lee Miller); her rebellious teenage daughter, Carolyn Stoddard (Chloe Moretz); and Roger’s precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins (Gulliver McGrath). The mystery extends beyond the family to caretaker Willie Loomis, played by Jackie Earle Haley, and David’s new nanny, Victoria Winters, played by Bella Heathcote.”

Other guests included Ex Pussycat Doll Kimberley Wyatt.
