Two months ago the newspaper said television-to-big screen project Dark Shadows “appears to be kaput.” But Variety reports that Johnny Depp’s production outfit Infinitum Nihil “is working with GK Films and [Warner Bros.] on a film transfer of Dark Shadows that will have Depp playing Barnabas Collins.”
