Something to thank Twiliight for

It's official, I guess. Tim Burton's next flick is Dark Shadows. You can see Richard Zanuck confirm it here. Zanuck mentions that Johnny Depp is also working on the project which is only natural since Depp has owned the rights to Dark Shadows for years.

Depp and Burton have been trying to get the Dark Shadows movie the green light for a long time and I imagine that the huge success of the Twilight has finally made it possible. It also looks like a new Buffy the Vampire Slayer may getthe go ahead but that story is a lot more nebulous at this point.

I'm excited by Depp's involvement, because, like me, he was a childhood fan of the horror soap opera who has carried his love for the old show through his life.

Woohoo!
