Yep, Depp is going to star in a movie version of Dark Shadows. He 's long been on record as a big fan of the show, and has wanted to play the romantic vampire lead since childhood.

I remember the 1966 gothic soap opera from my own kidhood, but alas - repeats I caught a few years back left me that awful What-Was-I-Thinking!? feeling.

But ... the show's still got ravenous fans. There were over 1200 episodes in the run that lasted till 1971.

In other casting news from Comic-Con -

Leonard Nimoy will reprise the role of Spock in J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek movie (splitting the role with Zachary Quinto of Heroes).

I'm happy about this bit of casting

And I'm ecstatic about the next bit of casting:

Karen Allen is reviving her role as Marion Ravenwood in Indiana Jones 4
