Depp was obsessed with the series as a child:
Based on his age now, Depp watched Dark Shadows on ABC TV at ages 3-6 or so! Explains much. ;)
LOS ANGELES - Johnny Depp's next movie will likely reunite him with director Tim Burton for a big-screen incarnation of the gothic vampire TV soap opera "Dark Shadows." The duo's collaboration has been more than three years in the making -- Depp was obsessed with the series as a child -- but Warner Bros. has now set an April start.
Depp will portray Barnabas Collins, a vampire living in a Maine manor who is searching for his lost love.
Now that Depp has made his decision, the other projects he was flirting with will have to find new actors, unless of course they can be wrapped up by April. For example, Depp's name has been mentioned in connection with Kathryn Bigelow's "Triple Frontier" as well as with Universal's "Snow White and the Huntsman." Depp and Burton last worked together on "Alice in Wonderland," one of the year's biggest hits.

I watched Dark Shadows on the tv each day after school for a couple of years--and I was barely old enough so I hope the 3.5-years younger (June 9, 1963) Depp watched it in reruns. Doubt it, though. Depp probably watched it first run at age I dunno, Update/ 5, 3 thru 6.? He was very young for this program. Cool. Helps explain even more about him. But who was watching him?
I am a 'go' to any Depp-Burton collaboration. Always something to love about them. Long may they run.
Fan version of Johnny Depp as a regular Vampire:

I decided to do a different version of Johnny Depp as a vampire.
Johnny Depp stars as an American tourist whose playful dalliance with a stranger leads to a web of intrigue, romance and danger in The Tourist. During an impromptu trip to Europe to mend a broken heart, Frank (Depp) unexpectedly finds himself in a flirtatious encounter with Elise (Angelina Jolie), an extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path. Against the breathtaking backdrop of Paris and Venice, their whirlwind romance quickly evolves as they find themselves unwittingly thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse. In Theaters December 10th.
Depp returns to theaters on Dec. 12 with "The Tourist." 'The Tourist': Johnny Depp As An Ordinary Guy? - Promo Photos,Wallpapers (10.17) Trailer (10.6)
Some beautiful images here, guaranteed to make you wonder what The Tourist is about. Watching the video one cannot but be impressed at how Johnny Depp slips into the skin of this nebbishy-seeming character without effort. I mean, he looks just as Depp does--the gorgeous Johnny Depp we know and love-- yet with his gestures and vocal tone he conveys someone else completely: Frank Taylor, ordinary guy--or is he? Can't wait to find out!
