Johnny Depp has done his part to ease the minds of "Dark Shadows" fans everywhere by confirming that Tim Burton's big screen adaptation of the long-running show is still very much on track.
While doing press for his latest film Public Enemies, Depp let this tasty tidbit fly to Collider:
“‘Dark Shadows’ is happening. Tim is working on ‘Alice in Wonderland’ which is obviously quite a large piece of work there. So when Tim is done with ‘Alice’ and we get the script, which is very, very close, in order we’ll probably attack it next year. It’s exciting, very exciting. It’s like a lifelong dream for me. I loved the show when I was a kid. I was obsessed with Barnabas Collins. I have photographs of me holding Barnabas Collins posters when I was five or six. I’m very excited to do it.”

YEah, this should be handled by the likes of the Dr. Who crew or the folks that made Dead Set.

I have ZERO expectations for a Tim Burton version of this.
