The late 60s vampire TV series Dark Shadows is being made into a
movie by Tim Burton. The cast will be the usual suspects: Johnny Depp
(who will play the lead, of course) and Helena Bonham Carter. Michelle
Pfeiffer is also included in the cast. She hasn’t worked with Tim Burton
since she played the iconic role of Catwoman in Batman Returns.
The original gothic soap opera centers on Barnabus, the
head of the Collinwood Manor in Maine. It's 1752 and Barnabus is a
rich and powerful playboy, but makes the mistake of breaking the heart
of a witch who turns him into a vampire and buries him alive. He wakes up centuries later in 1972 to a world he doesn't remember.
