In a move that makes a scary amount of sense to me, Johnny Depp will be playing a vampire in an upcoming project. As if SWEENY TODD wasn’t enough blood for Depp he will be tackling the character of Barnabas Collins in DARK SHADOWS, which will be based on the popular 1960’s dark soap-opera.
Depp has long been vocal about his admiration for the series, and now it looks as though he will get to live out his childhood obsession. And as a fan of Depp, I’m glad he’s going back to more of a darker approach to his roles after the whole Disney trilogy he just completed.
The character of Barnabas Collins is the vampire patriarch of the series. The role was originated by Jonathan Frid. But it might be a while before we see Depp as the bloodsucker, as he still has his pet project SHANTARAM on the horizon.
