During the Disney 3D panel at Comic-Con, Tim burton–there to present his ALICE IN WONDERLAND teaser (3 times apparently)–announced that his next project will indeed be a remake of ABC’s nocturnal soap “Dark Shadows” which has been optioned by Infinitum-Nihil, Johnny Depp’s production company. This can only mean that Depp will play Barnabas Collins, the vampire ringmaster of the series that featured classic horror staples like vampires, monsters, witches, werewolves, ghosts and zombies and ran from 1966 – 1971. Here’s what Burton said when asked about his plans with the film:
Yeah if I ever finish this one here [ALICE IN WONDERLAND]. It’s hard to think beyond this at the minute but yeah that’s the plan.
The question now is whether he and Depp can develop a productive working relationship. Somehow I doubt it.
