Over at YAHOO MOVIES they have posted up one kick ass article that heralds the news that TIM BURTON'S next project once ALICE IN WONDERLAND gets release is in fact going to be a big screen adaptation of DARK SHADOWS.
I have fond memories of this show as a kid but have attempt to watch it a couple of times as an adult and just can't seem to get back into it again. Regardless JOHNNY DEPP as BARNABAS COLLINS is reason enough to look forward to this one. Here are a few snippets from the article at YAHOO MOVIES or if you would rather read the entire article you can just CLICK HERE.
Burton and Depp team up for the big-screen adaptation of "Dark
Shadows," the Gothic soap opera about vampires, ghosts, and monsters
that ran on ABC from 1966 to 1971. Burton confirmed this last Thursday
when he presented footage from "Alice in Wonderland" to a capacity
crowd at Comic-Con's cavernous Hall H. He said "Dark Shadows" would be
his next project, "if I ever finish this one here."
Depp would play Barnabas, a role he told Collider.com
has been "a lifelong dream for me." Depp has said he loved the show as
a child: "I was obsessed with Barnabas Collins. I have photographs of
me holding Barnabas Collins posters when I was five or six." Depp has
been pursuing the movie adaptation for years, buying the remake rights
through his production company, Infinitum-Nihil.
Burton has also spoken about his fascination with the original show. He told the Los Angeles Times,
"It had the weirdest vibe to it. I'm sort of intrigued about that
vibe." He also spoke about the recent influx of vampire movies: "It's
like any great fable or fairytale, it's got a power to it... There's
something symbolic about it that touches people in different ways."
While both Depp and Burton seem excited to start work on what will be
their eighth collaboration, production might have to wait until after
Depp finishes work on the fourth "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie
Lets hope this one gears up quick.
