Sadly, Gerard, you might be right there.
Although - think of the possibilities for a "fight" against Walmart as the perfect plot for a film. We know that in the original show Liz was having financial troubles and was in danger of losing Collinwood. For a film (perhaps a sequel, though) they could adapt that original plot so that when Barnabas discovers the Collinses are in such financial straights that they have to bite the bullet to allow Walmart to buy the estate to build a Super-Duper Walmart. Barnabas, in his own inimitable way, puts the bite on the Walmart execs to not only protect the estate, but to get the funds to save it. It's timely AND Tim Burton quirky.
Although - on second thought, maybe it's just a bit too quirky. Never mind...
