Depp has always wanted the role of Barnabas Collins so will he pull it off? It's safe to say if anyone can do it, it's Johnny Depp! According to reports, production of the 1960s soap opera has finally begun after years of being pushed around in Hollywood. At the helm is Tim Burton, a director Depp has worked with on earlier occasions. It's certain the remake will be an exciting one. In "Dark Shadows," Depp will play Barnadas Collins, the vampire at the center of the series. Since his childhood, the actor claimed he has wanted to play the role of Barnadas Collins. Isn't it great when a childhood dream comes true? Sam Sarkar, Depp's producing partner stated: "It was a soap opera — it was a daily show...That's something people forget. It's one thing to adapt a weekly television series into a movie — it's another thing to take a soap opera that's been serialized daily and try to boil it down to two hours." Sounds like a bit of a task to pull it off but with Tim Burton directing, one can agree, he will probably not disappoint. Burton has his own concerns: "Part of the energy of it was the tone and weirdness of it. That's our challenge, to try to capture that vibe. ... It's always a fine line. That remains to be seen. That's a question and a challenge we talk about a lot. I haven't arrived at the answer. That's definitely a main issue, the tone and the vibe of it because as we all know melodrama can cross over. It's one of the more interesting things about it." "Dark Shadows" sounds like it will be an interesting production. If Tim Burton is concerned at the tone and feel of the movie, it's safe to say "Dark Shadows" will be an interesting challenge for him. As for the film, one can predict it will probably not be a snooze! 2010 Sophie s. Benvenuti - Gather.com "Remember, remember, the fifth of November, Gunpowder, treason and plot.
