Johnny Depp to Produce Film Version of Dark Shadows

Variety announced this past week that Johnny Depp's Infinitum-Nihil and Graham King's GK Films will team with Warner Brothers to produce a new film version of Dark Shadows. David Kennedy of Dan Curtis Productions will also be involved in the project.

Though Depp's fascination with Dark Shadows and the character of Barnabas Collins has long been noted, it's probably worth mentioning here that no casting has been announced for the project and a director has not been named. Some online postings seem to assume that Depp will play Barnabas and that Tim Burton will direct. No such assertions appear in the original Variety article, which is accessible via the link below:
