Dark Shadows Starts Shooting Next Year

Posted by on Jul 22, 2009 in Uncategorized | 1 comment

In an interview with MTV last week, Tim Burton finally confirmed that he is going to start shooting Dark Shadows sometime next year. This comes just weeks after Johnny Depp addressed Pirates of the Caribbean 4 also being shot next year. The currrent project Burton’s working on, a little thing called Alice in Wonderland, has been keeping him from progressing on Dark Shadows, but once Alice is ready to go,  production starts for the duo.

Dark Shadows is a 60′s soap that aired on ABC’s daytime programming from 1966 – 1971. “It’s another challenge because it was such a weird soap opera,” Burton explained. “Part of the energy of it was the tone and weirdness of it. That’s our challenge, to try to capture that vibe.” So part campy melodrama, part serious drama, part ghosts, zombies and vampires, and all together odd; sounds like Burton, sure enough.

Depp will be playing Barnabas Collins, one of the feature characters on the series.

During my stint at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, I majored in Film Studies and Art History. After returning home to Omaha, I decided to switch my major to Graphic Design and Communications, while still keeping Art History as a minor. Visual Composition has always been intriguing to me, so naturally my interest in film returned. While still working on my BA, I’ve been busy working on design projects and watching more movies than I care to admit. Recently I’ve been talking more and more about films with a colleague of mine, and after his insistence, I’ve come to write for Killer Film. Outside of work and school, I still try to have a life. I listen to an obnoxiously wide variety of music, but I’m a big aficionado of rockabilly music and the many derivatives there-of. I enjoy the company of friends while dragging them to concerts they wouldn’t normally attend. I’m also dropping all my disposable income into working on a ’51 Chevy 3100 that’s too adorable for words.
