You’ve been talking about Dark Shadows for a
very long time. There have been a couple of different versions, there
was an older TV series, a newer TV series, and then your film. What is
your version of Dark Shadows going to be like and are you excited to film it?
DEPP: I’m very excited to film it. You know, it’s something
that Tim and I have talked about for a number of years because we were
both fans. As kids, you know, you run home at three ‘o clock in the
afternoon to go watch this gothic soap opera on television with vampires
and everything. So our version, I guess, there’s something that’s very
interesting coming from the screenplay and from the talks that Tim and I
have had which is it retains that sort of bizarre distance that
everyone has with one another in terms of the characters. Maybe
Barnabus, in this version, is maybe a little bit more, maybe waxes a
little more poetic now and again, you know? But it’s definitely in
keeping with the original series.
