Tim Burton's Next is Dark Shadows?
Source: Collider.com December 3, 2008


Collider.com talked to producer Richard D. Zanuck, who says that director Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are making Dark Shadows next summer and that it's Tim's next project after Alice in Wonderland.

The film, written by John August, is based on the cult '60s supernatural TV show created by Dan Curtis. Johnny Depp would play Barnabas Collins, the vampire patriarch of the series.

With over 1,225 episodes, "Dark Shadows" was a highly atmospheric, spooky soap-opera that featured gothic horror staples like vampires, monsters, witches, werewolves, ghosts and zombies that ran from 1966 - 1971 and featured actor Jonathan Frid as Collins.

We all know HBC will be in the movie, but she better not be Angelique!

I see Burton casting her as Julia

^^That's what I'm thinking too, if she's in it. I like HBC and flove Jonny, so I'm happy about this. Glad to hear some more recent news and that's it going forward.

Thanks Nubia, :D

I really hope she's not put in as Julia or Angelique. But given their constant pairing of Depp with her I could see it happening. The project's material is not exactly mainstream, so I could see them using them together to generate buzz.

I could see her more for the Laura Collins character, who im sure isnt going to be featured unless they do a sequel.

I wonder which characters they'll resurrect. DANG, I loved that show when I was a little kid.
I have to crack up, though, when I watched videos as an adult, how BAD the production was. It makes GL look like a blockbuster movie, LOL. But, ah, such memories...........
All the girls in fourth grade had a crush on David Selby....

Barnabas, Angelique, Vicky, Elizabeth, Maggie, Carolyn, David, Roger, and Joe should for sure all be in it.

It would be cool for Kate Jackson or David Selby or even Jonathan Frid to make a cameo. Actually, am I dreaming, or wasn't .....oh, CRAP! The name escapes me totally. She played the ditzy blonde (not Mary Frann, but the younger one) on the Newhart, and she was also on The Doctors.
