Johnny Depp to play a vampire in "Dark Shadows"
Johnny Depp is fulfilling a lifelong ambition to play a vampire in Dark Shadows. London-based producer Graham King is overseeing this adaptation of this '60s TV show, which captured Depp's imagination. It's described as a 'spooky supernatural soap' featuring gothic horror staples like vampires, monsters, witches, werewolves, ghosts and zombies.

Depp will star as Barnabas Collins, a bloodsucking, self-loathing patriarch, who has been roaming the earth for 175 years.
