Johnny Depp Sinking his Teeth Into New Project

Johnny Depp, who just recently wrapped production on two big movies, Sweeney Todd and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, may be biting into a new role. The actor’s production company Infinitum-Nihil and GK Films have just obtained the rights to and are currently developing a script for the film rendition of Dark Shadows.

Dark Shadows was a tremendously popular Gothic soap opera of the 60’s and 70’s that featured the supernatural elements of vampires, ghosts, werewolves, and zombies. The program still enjoys a cult following with annual conventions and fansites on the Internet.

Depp has said that he imagined playing the role of vampire Barnabas Collins as a child. There’s little doubt that the talented actor can make this memorable character his own with his flair for the dramatic.
