The deliciously gothic duo Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are looking to team up once again. This time to bring the classic horror soap "Dark Shadows" to the big screen.
"Shadows" is a famous horror show that began in the 60's and ended with nearly 1,200 episodes.
The show is credited as being one of the first drama's in american tv history to bring horror and serialized drama to television, which opened the doors for many other shows such as Buffy,Angel,Charmed,Forever Knight,etc.
Rumor has it Johnny Depp may be up for the role of Barnabas Collins, a 200 year old vampire who reawakens in the series, but that has yet to be confirmed.
The movie will more than likely be directed by Burton and who wants to bet Helena Bonham Carter wont join the film at some later point.
"Dark Shadows" was a highly atmospheric, spooky soap that featured gothic horror staples like vampires, monsters, witches, werewolves, ghosts and zombies. Lets hope the movie follows suit.
