Tim Burton, a man known for his surreal take on classic stories this week cast his unusual sights on making a film based on the classic television series "Dark Shadows."
"Shadows" ran on ABC from 1966-1971 and tells the story of Barnabas Collins, a vampire seeking his lost love Josette. Johnny Depp, Burton's frequent leading man, is already signed on to play Barnabas. Michelle Pfeiffer, Eva Green and Burton's partner Helena Bonham Carter are also connected with the project.
The original series became noteworthy as a soap opera with a vampire theme. Ironically, the main character, Barnabas, wasn't introduced until the show was already in progress. Although originally envisioned to serve a brief stint on the show, Barnabas' popularity led to him becoming the star of the show.
