SDCC '09: 'Dark Shadows' Will Be Tim Burton's Next Film!

While on the press line for Alice in Wonderland at the San Diego Comic Con, B-D stringer Tim Anderson (Tex) caught up with Tim Burton who tells us (and other outlets) officially that his next movie will in fact be Warner Bros. Pictures adaptation of Dark Shadows, which will star Johnny Depp. Over 1,225 episodes, "Dark Shadows" was a highly atmospheric, spooky soap that featured gothic horror staples like vampires, monsters, witches, werewolves, ghosts and zombies. The show has a continuing rabid fan base that populates Dark Shadows Festival conventions. Numerous TV revivals of the series and pic adaptations have been attempted over the years but none with as high-wattage a star as Depp.

This is gonna be the perfect marriage of star, director and property. I loved DS as a kid, and the feature still holds up well. I'm psyched!

The question is when next year will Tim Burton be able to start filming the Dark Shadows movie? He seems to be in over his head with the Alice movie amazing how that sounds.

Never saw the show. But anything with Burton and Depp is sure to be fire. As long as it's not a freakin musical.

Depp will be Barnabas Collins, I take it? (Willy Loomis would definitely be a long shot)

Sounds great. As long as it's better then his PLANET OF THE APES. I did like his take on SLEEPY HOLLOW, so maybe we have something here? BATMAN #1 was really fun as well. Good luck Tim, DON'T FUCK THIS UP PLEASE !!!!

OK I know I'm gonna get a ton of hate for this, but am I like the only man on the face of the earth who's tired of Johnny Depp? I've been watching him play effeminate British dudes every other movie for the past twenty years! I just don't understand why the sight of him mincing around in a trailer can melt a million panties and turn grown men into screaming women. The guy is in his 40s and he wears enough make-up and jewelry to be Naomi Campbell. Tim, baby, we get it. You're in love with the dude. Enough already. Look, I don't hate the Deppster, I just can't seem to get away from him! Besides he just looks like Elijah Woods in this flick! Look him up, tell me I'm wrong. I think the next character Depp should play is The Human Torch, eh? Flame On!! Let the hatred wash over me.
