Dark Shadows: Resurrected is being moved to a more stable hosting provider. If you’re seeing this message then the move is now complete.

IESB.net is reporting “While interviewing GET SMART director Peter Segal this past weekend in Beverly Hills, he spoke briefly about writer John August. Segal says August, who is writing BILLY BATSON AND THE LEGEND OF SHAZAM for Segal over at WB, is jumping back and forth between Tim Burton’s DARK SHADOWS and his SHAZAM script trying to work on both films at the same time due to a back log of work after the writers’ strike earlier this year.

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.

Four episodic clips have been added to the Dark Shadows Video Library. Two clips are from Dark Shadows episode 5 and two more are culled from episode 6.

Seventeen years ago tonight “Dark Shadows : The Movie” premiered at 9PM ET on NBC. Serving as a pilot for the series, it was an amazing success with nearly 1 in 4 households tuning in for the premiere. While the remainder of season one would not fare quite so well due to a rather untimely international event (news coverage of the First Gulf War continually interrupted broadcasts), the series was a tour de force production combining an amazing cast, racing plot lines and a rich and gothic setting for a memorable viewing experience – as evidenced by the hundreds and hundreds that continue to grace this site every month.

Joanna Going (Victoria Winters) made a memorable appearance in the NBC series “Journeyman” on Dec 19th, 2007, during the episode “Perfidia”, playing the role of Lauren – a time traveler’s lost love.

The episode should be available on iTunes shortly.

The Dark Shadows Episode Guide in the Chapters section of the site is getting an overhaul to make room for expanded content.

If you have deep links into that area of the site they will be broken and need updating as of today.

19 iPhone sized wallpapers are now available on-site under a new section titled “Auntie’s Goodies“.

An “In-Show” Dark ShadowsEncyclopedia has been added to the Library. The intention is to provide a resource for detailing all the who/what/when/where of the Dark Shadows revival ‘universe’. The number of entries is on the small side, at the moment, but should increase as time permits.

Visitor Contributions would be greatly appreciated.
