I'm not sure what they were going for with Kelly Hu on DS....it surprised me that they casted someone like her for Julia and casted a rather plain looking actress for Victoria, especially given their roles on the original series.

Wasn't that pilot shortly after X2? Maybe they were going to ride her tidal wave of popularity.

Perhaps....I just think they wanted something drastically different from Grayson Hall's portrayal in the original. My personal wish for Julia was Robia LaMorte (Jenny from Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

Wait, were they going to remake this again? They tried once in the 90's but with all the desert storm coverage they kept pre-empting it and it never got the ratings.

It's going around that Johnny Depp is interested/in talks to play Barnabas Collins in a new Dark Shadows movie....if this pans out, it would be a dream come true for me.
Depp as Barnabas. Yes. Moviehole.net - Johnny Depp in Dark Shadows film __________________

Thanks for the update dukesmom...
I've noticed how much it's "quieted down" about this too...wonder if it got iced. __________________

I'm watching the Revival show again and it's not as good as I remembered it. There's too much overacting and it's fairly weak. Cross is smooth as Barnabas, but not very relatable.
I think the Johnny Depp Dark Shadows movie is supposed to come out in 2012. __________________

I never have watched the Depp movie - I caught 10 minutes or so of it once in my former work's break room, but that's it.
As excited as I originally was for Depp to play him, when it became obvious they'd turned it into a joke and parody I was completely out. And it put me off Depp even back then. He might as well have been called Barnabas Sparrow. What really bugs is that after the Burton movie pretty much bombing, no one's seemed to want to touch the franchise - and with vampires on the way out (for now), there may not be a new revival for a long time, if ever. As much as a Beetlejuice and Sleepy Hollow fan I am, there's no getting over what Burton and Depp did to Dark Shadows for me.   __________________
