Dark Shadows Coming to the Big Screen, Courtesy of Tim Burton



Yeah Baby! Tim Burton, one of my favorite film directors to bring stylish goth to the mainstream Hollywood is set to direct a film version of one of the best television series of the 1960's, Dark Shadows. This was a cult-hit soap opera that had romantic and sordid intrigue involving high society, vampires, monsters zombies AND werewolves. John August, (who wrote the screenplay for Tim Burton's fantastical 'Big Fish') will be the scribe for this film. While the project is set up by Johnny Depp's company, there are no confirmations that he'll star as the sexy Barnabus Collins... yet. Keep your fingers and fangs crossed!
