What does Johnny Depp and Tim Burton have to do with Seth Grahame-Smith, the author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies? Only the remake of the 1960s supernatural soap opera, Dark Shadows.

Now I don’t know Dark Shadows, as it was way before my time, nor have I read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (as much as I love my supernaturals, I’d prefer Mr. Darcy stay Mr. Darcy), but I have heard tha t Warner Bros. has hired Grahame-Smith to write the screenplay for the modern adaptation of Dark Shadows. In even bigger news, Johnny Depp will be playing lead vamp Barnabas Collins. Oh, and take a random guess as to who will be directing him. What’s that? Tim Burton, you say? How did you know?

According to Wikipedia, “as a child Johnny Depp was so obsessed with Barnabas Collins that he wanted to be him.” Very interesting, but keep in mind Wikipedia should always be read with a grain of salt.

As for me, I’m looking forward to what kind of madman Depp will be playing this time (think Jack Sparrow, Edward Scissorhands, Mad Hatter, Sweeney Todd).

What about you guys?
