Depp and ‘Dark Shadows’
Tim Burton is in the process of making another movie titled “Dark Shadows”, the ’60s daytime supernatural sudser. Johnny Depp has been offered the lead role, Barnabas Collins, previously done by Jonathan Frid. “Dark Shadows” a highly spooky soap contains gothic horror that includes vampires, monsters, witches, werewolves, ghosts and zombies.
Any auditions for this movie?
I think that they should offer the part of Barnabus Collins to a guy named Steve Mendoza – lives in Chicago… nice looking guy about mid – late 30's…who actually looks very much like Barnabus Collins… His natural thick black hair, bushy eyebrows…same shape of face etc, etc… would be an excellent choice for the part… He lives in Chicago and should be pursued to audition for the part. He would be an excellent choice to play Barabus Collins.
Fan of the classic 1966-1971 series. Not interested in a modern-day Dark Shadows in the least. Dark Shadows is a classic & shouldn't be remade. The type of ensemble cast from the original & that whole ambiance cannot be recaptured. Classics should be left alone.
