Burton Will Direct “Dark Shadows” Movie
Once a popular daily soap opera and then revived as a weekly series by NBC, “Dark Shadows” is headed for the silver screen. Tim Burton will bring his own unique vision and style to the movie, which will feature Johnny Depp as Baranbas Collins.
Producer Richard D. Zancuk confirmed the movie will be Burton’s next project with Collider.
The big question now is how will Burton and company bring the series to the big-screen. The original “Dark Shadows” was a daily soap opera that clocked in at over 1100 hours.  Speculation indicates Burton may concentrate on one of the many story arcs the show followed or distill it down further and focus specifically on Depp as Barnabas.
YES!!!!! Finally there is word about DARK SHADOWS!!!! I am a fan of the original series since first seeing it as a kid on ABC…it was the show to run home from school to see back then. Johnny Depp is going to be a great Barnabas Collins!!

i used to watch the show before school with my mom i cant wait till it comes out its even better that its Tim Burton
I think a movie version would be awesome,. but would like to see the some of the old actors still in it, if possible…Aferall we can do amazing things with hair and special effects makeup these days, bring back the original Barnabas, and Josette from the 1991 series, That would be so awesome….I am really looking forward to the movie..
can’t wait to see the next incarnation of dark shadows. would love to see depp as barnabas intermingling with some of the old original actors thru cgi effects. would be marvelous to see joan bennett, thayer david, grayson hall and david selby acting with johnny depp!
I am a huge fan of the series and the remake. Having Depp attached to the greatest DS project ever and now Burton. My god… It will be incredible.
I cant wait for this!!! It will make Twilight look like a soap opera!! I think Angelina Jolie would make a great Angelique!!
I am a huge Dark Shadows fan from the original series. I used to hide behind the couch and watch Barnabas Collins do his thing. I was also a big fan of Quentin Collins, the werewolf cousin. I hope the movie includes him in the story.
Any news of when the movie will be coming out?
