Video: Christopher Lee on "Dark Shadows"

In his 2011 Christmas message video, legendary actor Christopher Lee discussed his upcoming projects, in film and beyond. After discussing The Hobbit and Martin Scorsese's Hugo, Lee confirmed that he will appear in Dark Shadows. Lee clarified that his role in the vampire film will be brief, but memorable and meaningful to the audience. It's a fitting film for Lee to appear in, considering the acclaimed thespian, who turns 90 this year, is well-known for his performances as Dracula.

Lee begins talking about Dark Shadows at about 9:15:

Awe, bless his kind heart. Other than Tim Burton, Christopher Lee is one of my favorites. I just love his deep voice, he almost reminds me of Anthony Hopkins just they way they are like creepy and dark. I wish they would do a movie together that would be awesome. Speaking of vampires and hobbits, I went to see the new Underworld: Awakening at the midnight premier in 3-D with a friend of mine because i'm a huge fan of the series and so isn't she. It was really awesome in 3-D, I highly recommend it if you like the blood splattered on your glasses, it was an epic movie, a lot more action in it than the last 3 series. I'm actually really excited to see the next one, but as Christopher Lee was talking about the hobbit it reminded me, I actually saw the preview for it when I went to see Underworld last night. It was awesome to see everyone from LOTR (Lord of the Rings) there on big screen. I wasn't able to see any of the LOTR series in theaters, so this time for sure a couple of friends and I are definitely going to go see that when it comes out next December. Also while on the subject, as I walked in to the Rave Motion Pictures, they had a huge poster about the size of two doors put together upward and three and a half doors wide, of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter it was really awesome to see it. It was of this one:
