Depp, Burton Team for ‘Dark Shadows’ Posted under Movies
|
Tim Burton and actor Johnny Depp will team for a feature film version of the classic 1960s soap opera “Dark Shadows.”
The film will shoot in the fall, with Depp set to play the vampire Barnabas Collins, according to producer Graham King.
“We’re actually going to shoot that film next September/October with Tim Burton and Johnny,” King confirmed in an interview Friday in Los Angeles.
To guarantee a fall release, King is already prepping production with screenwriters.
“We’ve been working on the script a lot, even though he’s working on ‘Alice,’” King said. “We’ve been given a script. John August wrote the first screenplay. We’re making some changes, but the film’s going to be in production …”
From 1966 to 1971, “Dark Shadows” was a daytime gothic soap opera on ABC, featuring Jonathan Frid as Collins. NBC attempted a prime-time series reboot in 1991 that stared Ben Cross.

I think it is AWESOME! I was an avid watcher of the original series! When I was a kid I couldn’t go without watching “Dark Shadows”. I am amped up to know that my favorite actor will be playing Barnabas!

Please make it with the style and not junk. Ask Johnathan Frid for some advise after all he is the inspiration. He would probably be glad to give it.
