Ok... so it was announced months ago. Its written by the guy who wrote both Charlie's Angels flicks (and after those how is he still getting work?) Johnny Depp signed up months ago. But IESB is reporting that its going to be directed by Tim Burton. I can't say I'm surprised... and incredibly disappointed. I love Dark Shadows. Its one of the titles responsible for my horror love. But I can't say that any thing I've read about this new version gets me excited. I have the horrible feeling that its just going to be a paint by numbers production. *sigh*

Really? No opinions? No love for Dark Shadows? Ah... well.

Dark Shadows? Depp and Burton? Seriously? Everything about this pisses me off. Burton's last good movie was Ed Wood, and I would argue that it was good in spite of Burton's involvement. Depp has officially sold his soul to Hollywood. This is just sad.

I love the original Dark Shadows series that starred Johnathan Frid. The 1990 version was good, too, but the original just had a creepier feel to it. I also like Tim Burton's work but this is one time I think his brand of creativity would actually backfire on him. But that's just me.
