Johnny Depp's word is his bond. In June 2009, the three-time Oscar nominee promised us that "Dark Shadows" — the Tim Burton-directed, Depp-starring adaptation of the 1960s-era soap opera — was going to shift into production, despite years of delay.

Depp wouldn't steer us wrong. "Dark Shadows" now has an official start date courtesy of Warner Bros., a development first reported by Deadline Hollywood. Burton and Depp will begin production in April 2011.

That's almost four years since the project was first announced. Depp has long spoken of his childhood obsession with the ABC soap and said he always fostered the hope of becoming Barnabas Collins, the vampire at the center of the series. Running from 1966 to 1971, "Dark Shadows" spun supernatural tales of ghosts, zombies, vamps and time travel over its 1,225 episodes. In December 2008, Richard D. Zanuck, a producer on the film, said that shooting would begin in London in the summer of '09, but that seemed ambitious given Depp's schedule and the task of adapting the series.

I'm beginning to think that Burton is just Depp's pen name.

Haven't like anything Burton's made since Big Fish. Seems like he might've fried his brain on something and now all of his movies play out like the same 5-year old's mushroom induced nightmare.

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I watched the original Dark Shadows as a kid! :o I would come home from school and turn it on.

The guy who played Barnabas Collins made a great vampire. I always wondered why movies didn't cast him as a vampire. Of course Christopher Plummer was around so maybe I answered my own question.

The girl who played Angelic Collins had this slutty look to her. Which played well in the soapie as she was going to bed with a different guy in each show.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
