First Look: Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins in 'Dark Shadows'

Tim Burton + Vampires = Dark Shadows

Bad News: More Vampire Theme flicks are coming.

Good News: Tim Burton will be doing it, and hopefully doing it well.

He's remaking Dark Shadows with Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins.

"We're actually going to shoot that film next September/October with Tim Burton and Johnny," King said in a group interview Friday in Los Angeles, where he was promoting The Young Victoria.

Burton is still finishing post-production on Alice in Wonderland, which also stars Depp and opens March 5, 2010. King is already prepping production on Dark Shadows with screenwriters so that it is ready for Burton to shoot next fall.

"We've been working on the script a lot, even though he's working on Alice," King continued. "We've been given a script. John August wrote the first screenplay. We're making some changes, but the film's going to be in production, as I say, September or October of next year."

This is should be interesting.
