anybody love this 1960s soap opera? I think Burton can make this a great movie. Johnny Depp is slated to play Barnabas Collins, to which I say, "God, I hope not".

I actually really liked this show. I hope they give it a more updated look although I don't know with Tim Burton.

You should know by now that anything Burton does, Johnny Depp has a guaranteed role in.
Depp is a great actor. One of the greatest of our time, like it or not.

imo, Burton's best movie ever is "Big Fish" with Ewan McGreggor, NOT Johnny Depp. Burton has a great style in making movies, but he's successfully turned Depp into a cartoon character. If he's gotta be in this movie, I'd rather see him playing Willie Loomis than Barnabas.
