Is Chloe Moretz joining "Dark Shadows" cast?

A few days ago talented young actress Chloe Grace Moretz (or simply, 'Chloe Moretz') tweeted from her official account that she just 'booked a huge project', which involves really cool actors (she said 'HUGE' a couple of times, LOL). Came to speculation that she's going to star in "The Hunger Games" in which she actually lost Katniss Everdeen role to Jennifer Lawrence. But then another speculation comes up that she is actually going to star alongside every women-obsession Johnny Depp in the upcoming Tim Burton film "Dark Shadows". That is HUGE!

According to Movie Web it was revealed that Moretz will play Elizabeth Collins Stoddard's (played by Michelle Pfeiffer) daughter, Carolyn. While a couple of days ago, it was announced that Thomas McDonell also signed in to play younger version of Barnabas Collins which will be played by Johnny Depp.

"Dark Shadow" is adapted from the popular supernatural television series at the '60s. With Tim Burton helming this project, I'm very sure that he will add astonishing visual art and effects! Besides Depp, Pfeiffer, McDowell, and allegedly Moretz, the movie also cast Eva Green, Bella Heathcote, and Jackie Earle Haley so far.

ETA: The Deadline confirmed that Moretz is indeed joining the cast of "Dark Shadows". THIS IS SUCH A GREAT NEWS!!! Congrats Chloe!

Eva Green is the female lead in "Dark Shadows"

Magnificent director Tim Burton is remaking the popular 1960s horror soap opera "Dark Shadows" into a motion picture. He already chose Johnny Depp — his ultimate muse — for the leading man as Barnabas Collins, which is a vampire.

There were talks about who's going to play opposite Depp in the horror movie, and finally it went to the French actress Eva Green (who was famous of portraying Vesper Lynd, the girl who broke James Bond's heart in "Casino Royale"), according to Deadline. Green landed a role as Angelique, a powerful witch who has an affair with Barnabas. Green will star amongst other actresses who reportedly also landed roles in this movie, Bella Heathcote as Victoria Winters and Jackie Earle Haley as Willie Loomis.

"Dark Shadows" will feature a lot of supernatural creatures, from vampires, zombies, witches, monsters, warlocks, even parallel universe. I haven't watched the series but knowing that the ingenious Tim Burton will direct it, this will probably be amazing. I already imagined that we'll see breathtaking visualization in this movie like he did to "Alice in Wonderland" and "Sweeney Todd"!

I found a fan-made trailer of the classic "Dark Shadows" on YouTube, about the ressurection of Barnabas Collins, which I think it's pretty awesome. Please check it out below:
