"...writer John Wells is working on an untitled vampire project which may turn out to be revamped Dark Shadows (following in the footsteps of the 1966 smash TV series). Original producer Dan Curtis is the new show's co-executive producer and the lead character is named "Barnabas" and described as 'a seductive, dangerous, complex, athletic, flawed, timeless and handsome man who will lead us into another world.'"
