So, while we can't confirm the rumors of Depp starring as Barnabus Collins in DARK SHADOWS, the IESB has confirmed that TIM BURTON is attached to direct and JOHN AUGUST has been brought in to write the adaptation for the film."

While this info seems to be unofficial at this point, there doesn't seem to be much reason to doubt it.

Depp lights up 'Dark Shadows'
Graham King to produce Warner feature
By MICHAEL FLEMING

Johnny Depp is getting in touch with his inner vampire.

Warner Bros. is teaming with Depp's Infinitum-Nihil and Graham King's GK Films to develop a feature based on the '60s daytime supernatural sudser "Dark Shadows."

Depp has said in interviews that he has always been obsessed with "Dark Shadows" and had, as a child, wanted to be Barnabas Collins, the vampire patriarch of the series. The role was originated by Jonathan Frid.

A rights deal just closed with the estate of Dan Curtis, the producer/director who created the soap that aired weekdays on ABC, from 1966 to 1971. Depp and King will produce with David Kennedy, who ran Dan Curtis Prods. until Curtis died last year of a brain tumor. Infinitum-Nihil's Christi Dembrowski served as the point person on the deal.

Over 1,225 episodes, "Dark Shadows" was a highly atmospheric, spooky soap that featured gothic horror staples like vampires, monsters, witches, werewolves, ghosts and zombies. The show has a continuing rabid fan base that populates Dark Shadows Festival conventions. Numerous TV revivals of the series and pic adaptations have been attempted over the years but none with as high-wattage a star as Depp.

Depp, who is coming off "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" and who just wrapped the Tim Burton-directed "Sweeney Todd," is next expected to star in "Shantaram," a Mira Nair-directed adaptation of the Gregory David Roberts novel that Depp, King and Plan B are producing for Warner Bros. Depp, King and WB are also mobilizing to make a film about the life of Alexander Litvinenko, with Depp poised to play the former KGB agent, who was fatally poisoned.

Born Daniel Mayer Cherkoss in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on August 12, 1927, Curtis graduated with a liberal arts degree in sociology from Syracuse University in 1950. He entered television as a program salesman with NBC-TV and, later, MCA, selling syndicated fare such as Union Pacific and Princess Grace In Monaco. After creating Challenge Golf featuring Gary Player and Arnold Palmer for ABC-TV in 1962, Curtis, a lifelong golfing enthusiast, formed his own company and in 1963 launched The CBS Match Play Golf Classic, which ran for a decade and won an Emmy for Achievement in Sports for the 1965-66 season.
In 1965, Curtis approached programming executive Leonard Goldberg at ABC-TV with an idea for a Jane Eyre-flavored drama series and on June 27, 1966 Dark Shadows premiered as a daytime soap opera. Though the supernatural serial initially met with low ratings, Curtis salvaged the show in April of 1967 with the introduction of a sympathetic vampire named Barnabas Collins, played by Jonathan Frid. The series quickly became a pop-culture phenomenon, giving the network a strong presence in daytime by attracting a devoted youth audience along with infatuated housewives. Ceasing production in 1971 after 1,225 episodes, Dark Shadows remains a cult favorite, spawning two M-G-M feature films (House of Dark Shadows, 1970, and Night of Dark Shadows, 1971) directed by Curtis and a 1991 NBC-TV nighttime remake starring Ben Cross.
Curtis' primetime producing debut came in 1968 with The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, starring Jack Palance, for ABC. Produced in association with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Curtis' version of the Robert Louis Stevenson classic earned multiple Emmy nominations, including Best Dramatic Program, and is considered by many critics to be the definitive interpretation.
Moving from New York to Hollywood in the early 1970s, Curtis established himself as one the industry's leading independent producers during the heydey of television movies. Many of Curtis' projects during this period were rooted in the mystery and horror genres and were written by frequent collaborator Richard Matheson, beginning with The Night Stalker in 1972. Starring Darren McGavin as hard-nosed reporter Carl Kolchak, the program achieved the highest ratings ever for a television film when it originally aired. A 1973 sequel, The Night Strangler, was followed by The Norliss Tapes, Scream Of The Wolf, The Turn Of The Screw and Dracula. The latter, starring Jack Palance, ranks as the first faithful adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel. One of Curtis' most indelible offerings remains the 1975 telefilm Trilogy of Terror in which Karen Black, starring in multiple roles, is attacked by a ferocious Zuni warrior fetish doll.
Curtis returned to the big screen in 1976 with Burnt Offerings for United Artists. A haunted house thriller based on Robert Marasco's novel, the film starred Black, Oliver Reed and Bette Davis.
Also known as a nostalgic storyteller, Curtis mounted a pair of semi-autobiographical telefilms based on his childhood days in Bridgeport: When Every Day Was The Fourth Of July (1978) and The Long Days Of Summer (1980), both starring Dean Jones. Curtis' passion for period pieces was also on display in a trio of tongue-in-check action projects; the 1930s gangster capers Melvin Purvis, G-Man (1974) and The Kansas City Massacre (1975), followed in 1979 by his sole western, The Last Ride Of The Dalton Gang.
It was in the 1980s, however, that Curtis reached his career pinnacle when he was chosen by Paramount television head Barry Diller to produce, direct and co-write the screenplay for the largest mini-series made for television at that time, Herman Wouk's The Winds of War. Airing on ABC in February, 1983, the 16-hour production, starring Robert Mitchum, Ali MacGraw, Jan-Michael Vincent, Polly Bergen, John Houseman and Victoria Tennant, was seen by over 140 million viewers in the U.S. alone and remains the third-highest rated mini-series in small screen history. The World War II epic was followed in 1988-89 by the 29 hour sequel, War and Remembrance, which would become the most ambitious dramatic program ever made for television. Filmed at a cost of approximately $140 million over two years in nine countries, War and Remembrance reteamed much of The Winds of War cast, with Jane Seymour, John Gielgud and Hart Bochner taking over the roles originally created by MacGraw, Houseman and Vincent. Hailed by the Los Angeles Times as "a dazzling achievement in historical storytelling" and "the best serialized drama in the history of American television," War and Remembrance was the first film to be shot on location at the Auschwitz death camp in Poland. Curtis' momumental accomplishment was cited with an Emmy for Outstanding Miniseries, the Directors Guild Award, the Golden Globe for Best Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television, the People's Choice Award for Favorite Miniseries and the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Distinguished Service Award.
In the 1990s, Curtis returned to his affinity for stories of suspense and the supernatural with the aforrementioned Dark Shadows revival followed by the 1992 CBS miniseries Intruders, a UFO thriller starring Richard Crenna and Mare Winningham. Trilogy of Terror II for USA Network aired in 1996. Curtis' subsequently focused on his romantic leanings, transforming one of his favorite stories, Jack Finney's The Love Letter, into a Hallmark Hall of Fame production with Jennifer Jason-Leigh in 1998.
Curtis' final pair of projects, both airing in 2005, were emotionally charged true-life dramas. Madeleine Stowe headlined Saving Milly, based on the best-selling book by political journalist Mort Kondracke. The CBS-TV movie recounts Kondracke's love story with his activist wife, Milly, and her battle with Parkinson's disease. Our Fathers, a Showtime feature adapted from Newsweek writer David France's book of the same name, examined the Roman Catholic Church sexual abuse scandal and cover-up. Christopher Plummer starred as Cardinal Bernard Law.
Curtis was preceded in death by his wife of 54 years, Norma Mae Klein, on March 7, 2006, and daughter Linda Curtis in 1975. He is survived by daughters Cathy and Tracy.
