Dark Shadows

Sorry if this was already posted. I don't see it.

One of those entertainment shows (Entertainment Tonight maybe?the one on after the national news on NBC) had a 5 second blurb on about Johnny Depp signing on to play Barnabus on Dark Shadows. That was last night, 7/27/07.

I heard that too...here's more from The Zone:

Johnny Depp playing Barnabas Collins, the angst-ridden vampire of Collinsport? Yes--that's not just a dream of DARK SHADOWS fans anymore. According to Michael Fleming of Variety, Warner Bros. is joining Infinitum-Nihil (Johnny's production company) and Graham King's Initial Entertainment Group to develop a feature film based on DARK SHADOWS, the unique gothic daytime drama which ran for 1,225 episodes on ABC from 1966-1971. Writes Fleming, "A rights deal just closed with the estate of Dan Curtis, the producer/director who created the soap [. . .] . Depp and King will produce with David Kennedy, who ran Dan Curtis Prods. until Curtis died last year of a brain tumor. Infinitum-Nihil's Christi Dembrowski served as the point person on the deal."

Johnny Depp has spoken frequently of his affection for DARK SHADOWS, especially the character of Barnabas Collins as played by Jonathan Frid--to see a photo of Frid as Barnabas, "Depp has said in interviews that he has always been obsessed with DARK SHADOWS and has wanted to play Collins, the vampire patriarch of the series," notes Fleming. Coincidentally, series creator Dan Curtis gave his blessing to Johnny playing his most famous character in an interview given on September 18, 2002. Responding to a suggestion that a DARK SHADOWS remake would work if Johnny Depp were cast as Barnabas, Curtis replied: "I agree that Johnny Depp would be great as a new Barnabas."

Well, Dark Shadows is definitely an acquired taste... The show was from the 60's. Then there was a remake series in the 80's or 90's, with Ben Cross as Barnabas(i had a friend who was obsessed by that one). So this will be a movie from a show that was done twice. But if JD is in it, i WILL watch.

All I can say is, "IT'S ABOUT TIME!"

With his looks and those eyes of his he would make one sexy vampire. He wouldn't have to go out looking for a meal women would be lineing up just for the opportunity to be bit.

Yeah I heard this on Entertainment Tonight too. I was going to post something about it but I guess you beat me to the punch. lol

I don't know much about Dark Shadows except that the main character is a vampire, so I'll be interested to hear more about it has it progresses.
