Johnny Depp has confirmed that he and director Tim Burton will team up once again to make Dark Shadows.

For those of you who don’t quite remember Dark Shadows, it was a supernatural soap opera that ran from 1966 to 1971 and starred the vampire Barnabas Collins.

Anyway, this is what Depp said about the project…

“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.”

He went to say that playing Barnabas Collins is “a lifelong dream. It’s exciting, very exciting. 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.”

Um, okay, for anyone out there who’s counting, Dark Shadows will be the eight time Depp and Burton have worked together.
