Current Talk '24 I / Re: It's official: Dark Shadows returns as a film with Johnny Depp

This is interesting: jimbo pointed me to fearnet.com (the horror movie database) and they're listing Dan Daniels as the writer of the Depp/DS film: Horror A-Z: Dark Shadows Though where they may have gotten that info is anyone's guess - and I don't have any idea if the site is generally reliable because I've never actually visited the site before tonight. I did a search of Variety.com, though, and unless it somehow didn't come up, they've never reported the attachment of Mr. Daniels to the film. In fact, the only Dan Daniels who comes up in a search works as a film sound engineer. And odder still, the only Dan Daniels who comes up on IMDB .com is an actor/writer who appeared in the '96 film Expect No Mercy and who wrote the '66 French Canadian film Footsteps in the Snow. Though who's to say that even that man is the same Dan Daniels as the one supposedly writing the Depp/DS film? Dan Daniels seems like it could be a very common name, and the one who may have been hired to write this film could have been hired based on work that he's done outside the film industry. I suppose only time will tell...
