I just saw this weekend that they are doing a Dark Shadows movie with Jonnie Depp. I thought to myself, how many movie goers are even familiar with that show to make it worth doing? RIP.

I’ve seen the trailer, and the movie is nothing like the series. More of a comedy. Kind of disappointing.

When people were talking about kids and the Twilight movies, I pointed out that those girls' mothers or grandmothers swooned over Dark Shadows. Nobody knew what I was talking about.

Tim Burton is talented, but his adaptations (Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Alice in Wonderland) aren't usually improvements. Likewise, Johnny Depp is prodigiously talented, but his movies with Burton aren't his best work.

So he was the heart-throb of the series?
Looks like an "Austin Powers" kind of thing (i.e. you didn't have to be that attractive to be a sex symbol in those days).
